Sunrise Awe


How precious and weighty are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I could count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you. [And I know You love me.] (See Psalm 139:17,18.)

Radiance

RADIANCE. I love the word radiance. I wrote it on my bathroom mirror once. To be called radiant is one of the nicest compliments I’ve ever received. I think it is evidence of God’s Holy Spirit shining in my life. I love the Lord and Jesus lives inside me. I have to give Him credit! His presence is so beautiful. Isn’t it amazing our Lord and King gives us His presence? What a gift! In the mornings, before I get out of bed, I give Him my gratitude list. Today I thanked Him for His RADIANCE. “You show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” Psalm 16:11 & Acts 2:28. (My favorite verse in the Bible.)

Be Still My Heart

Oh God...
What is it to You
The heart that leaps
The heart that leaps
What is it to You?

What is it to You
The heart that sinks
The heart that sinks
What is it to You?

What is it to You
The heart that yearns
The heart that yearns
What is it to You?

What is it to You
The heart that waits
The heart that waits
What is it to You?

My heart is EVERYTHING to You
Because You love me.

"Such hope will not disappoint us because God demonstrates His love for us!" 
(See Romans 5:5,8)

Why do I dance?


In the classic film, The Red Shoes, the character Lermontov interviews a ballerina named Vicky for his ballet company.
Lermontov asks, "Why do you want to dance?"
Vicky answers his question with a question, "Why do you want to live?"
Lermontov says, "Well, I don't know exactly why, but...I must."
Vicky answers, "That's my answer too."
