A Joyful Christian Girl's Chronicling of Her Blessings.
Month: January 2016
Sleep was a golden woman whose dress
Trailed stardust across the blue
And she walked on tiny slippered feet
With a tread like stepping in dew
With a touch of her fingers on your eyes
You slip off in a boat on the sea
And I’m jealous of Sleep when she takes you
For she takes you away from me
This brilliant day, this burning sun
Precedes us as we greet the dawn
And even while we are asleep
The stars alight, and darkness deep
Proclaims His splendor and majesty
Yet even though the skies and seas,
The flowers, birdsong, rocks and hills
Sing to the glory of the God they thrill
He still craves the worship of woman and man
He longs for us to raise our hands
And give our souls to Him in love
The God who looks down from above
The God who made the skies to sing
This God deserves our everything
Sometimes the day is difficult and long and cold
Little things add up until a cloud hangs over me
Until patience frays, my mood soured
And then sometimes I see you
And your vibrance is enough to make me appreciate life all over again
You are the sun
Dissolving my fog
You are a canary song
Building me up with joy
You are patience and hope
Encouraging me to be better
You are happiness itself
Lifting me up to walk a tightrope to the stars
Sunlight spills like blood
Across the powder blue snow
Through bare tree limbs
Tangling in the black weeds.
And I tilt my head just right
So that the sun shines on the falling flakes
And enters through my lashes
To rest in my brain
Where it stirs up memories of you
Which sting more bitterly than any winter blast.
It is beyond my ability to express the way I feel about you.
For now I ask you merely
To tilt your head just right
Let the sun filter through your lashes
Drink of the light of dusk
A new day dawns fresh and bright
There is so much to do, so much to think about
But we must not spend all our time in doing and thinking
And forget to simply live,
Simply breathe,
Simply love
Life goes in cycles and turns over and about
Going forever until it stops
Take every moment, every breath, every hour as it is:
Full of potential and worth
And whatever you want to fill it with,
Make it good
*Happy new year to you all! I pray that 2016 brings you blessings and growth. God bless you.*
“1 Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD! 2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore! 3 From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised!” -Psalm 113:1-3 ESV
