a touchstone of sorts

 ♪…without borders…

…feet upon the water…

For I am Yours and You are mine♪

Blessed God,

Thank You. There was sleep. And lots of songs. Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) being the most identifiable.

♪Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders

Let me walk upon the waters

Wherever You would call me

Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander

And my faith will be made stronger

In the presence of my Saviour♪

Yes please. Lyrics of faith. Deep waters. Waves. Grace. Trust. Calling on Your name. Rest.

I rested yesterday Lord. On a swing. With a book. Like taking a mini vacation. Right here at home.

There’s been a ton of emotion Dearest Dad. Slightly erratic. A bit unpredictable. 

(5:59 a.m.)

Here’s a thought. How much of it is brought on by fear? Of surroundings. Circumstances. The unknown.

I want to trust You Lord. To be unafraid.

Strong in Your mighty power (Ephesians 6:10).

Alert and prayerful (Ephesians 6:18).

Faithful, even unto death (Revelation 2:10d).

Eager and right doing (Revelation 3:19).

You provided me these verses decades ago Blessed God. A touchstone of sorts. Reminding me that I am safe in Your Word. You ARE:

 

♪…my Firm Foundation!

The Rock on which I stand

When everything around me is shaken

I’ve never been more glad

That I put my faith in Jesus

‘Cause He’s never let me down

He’s faithful through generations So, why would He fail now?

He Won’t♪

Thank You for singing Your Truth to me. Reminding me always of Your faithfulness. Your love. All that we have in, with, by, through and for You.

I want to represent You well. Again, the word is unafraid! Fearlessly. Strong and courageously (Deuteronomy 31:6-8; Joshua 1:6a, 9).

All strength and courage comes from You Blessed Lord. I want to be strong and unafraid. Brave.

♪ I wanna dance like David

…faith like Paul

…sing like Silas tearing down the prison walls

…face the fire…

I praise the heaven seated undefeated highest of names…

I praise the God who’s proven He can do impossible things…

I wanna love like Jesus

That kinda grace

I wanna live like I’ve got no more precious time to waste

I’m gonna give Him glory

With all my thanks

‘Cause there’s no greater, stronger higher name and

That’s Who I Praise♪

Yes! Thank You that I get to praise Your Holy name. You are

♪The only One who’s worthy, worthy

Worthy of all of His names

That’s who I praise♪

Do all You must that I will live and love as You would have me. You. Others. Myself. Wholeheartedly. Soulfully. Mindfully. Physically (Mark 12:30-31).

You know and do all that is best. I love, need, trust and want You. Thank You for providing the glimpses of Your goodness that I encounter. Continue making me into the woman You would have me be. Unafraid.

Thank You. Praise You. Use me. Amen.
