All things are possible

God whispers go, take courage,
Believe, trust in me, in my power,
Listen to what I am saying,
breathing the calling I have for you,
The purpose I have for your life…
 
Trust in the power of God,
God’s omnipotence, God’s ability,
To come up beside us in our struggle,
To make a way through the impossible,
To guide our trembling steps…

Miracles are within reach

The boundaries of our ability,
The omnipotence of God,
With God all things are possible,
The impossible is attainable,
Miracles are within reach…
 
Salvation is possible, achievable,
In turning from the world,
in following the Christ,
The impossible is attainable,
Miracles are within reach…

A new year dawns in fog - v3

A new year dawns in fog
Creating a question for us
Like the riddle of the glass
Whether half full or half empty
A challenge for our senses
What do we truly see.
 
Possibilities open before us
Requiring trust, faith,
Belief in the unseen providence,
The faithfulness of God
Before the days open
A mystery foretold.

a sense of place – v4

We share a sense of place,
of connection to this land,
to these people, brothers,
sisters, neighbors,
those here by birth, by choice
this incredible beauty,

We share a love of community
investing, gathering together
sharing deeply, hopes,
creating one vision
for our region, this place,
this place that we love,

We share this moment
of hope, of inspiration
charting a course together
for a future, for our lives
for our families, our neighbors,
within this special region,

We share a hope for tomorrow
for a rising future, a path forward
a raising of all boats with the rising tide
building upon the blueprint, the plan
these images, these words
written on these pages.
