Through the valley we find victory

We become frustrated, discouraged,
caught in the struggle, the chaos;
We stumble, we fall,
we walk in the pit, the valley,
we wander in this world.
 
Through the valley we find victory
only through the storm, the struggle,
the chaos of this life, this journey;
We focus our eyes on Jesus
the Savior of this world.

Focus on Jesus - v2

When we focus on Jesus
we are able to walk on water
upon the waves, the seas,
walking boldly, certain,
of our path, our destiny.
 
When we focus on Jesus
we are like Peter, faithful,
like a bolt, a laser beam,
walking in our calling on the path
the way written for you and me.

eyes to see the impossible - v2

within the storm, vision,
eyes to see the impossible
faith to move mountains
to speak aloud God's power.
 
eyes to see the impossible
the unseen hand of God,
trusting, going boldly,
out into the world.
 
able to walk on water
to stand upon the waves
eyes to see the impossible
the depth of God's love
the Maker of our days.

the dance of the pelicans - v2

an unseen hand,
an invisible thread,
the dance of the pelicans
above the wave tops.
 
diving in unison,
as if tethered together,
rising and falling on the breezes
above the wave tops.
 
an invisible line,
a cord, an unseen thread,
kissing the waters, fishing,
just above the wave tops.

Garden Healing - v2

Fruit of the garden
gifts of the earth
garden healing

Life from the soil
plants that grow
heals our body
restores our soul.
 
Garden healing
promise of God
redeems our lives
gifts of God's love.

the darkened beach

the darkened beach

the roar of the waves

wind relentless

pelting my face.

 

settling in stillness

finding a space

above the waves

on the darkened beach.

Sight by Faith

Sight by faith
in believing seeing
nurtured, growing
within us, living
acting out loud
taking each step
going forward
as we are called.
 
Sight by faith
sure in each step
fed, instructed
sensing the Spirit
calling, urging
leading us forward
doing, believing
in our purpose for God.

another #pelican morning

seeing the line of them approaching
just above the wave tops
picking up my cell phone
setting the stage, waiting
for them to come into view.
 
zooming in quickly
panning, moving, catching their motion
another pelican morning bursting
just above the wave tops
here beyond our beach.

crossing the plane of the dunes

leaving the world, chaos, separation,
civilization, man-made creations,
taking off my new sandals,
touching cool, warm, sand.
 
crossing the plane of the dunes
rising into the line of the grasses
stepping onto the still beach
feeling peace surround me.
