Isaiah 35

Water will gush forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs.
And a highway will be there; it will be called
the Way of Holiness…it will be for those who walk in that way.

Isaiah 35:6,8

The Joy Song

Posted in HeartThoughts, Joy on October 28, 2009 | 7 Comments »

I saw raindrops on my window,
Joy is like the rain.
Laughter runs across my pain,
Slips away and comes again.
Joy is like the rain.
:::::
I saw clouds upon a mountain,
Joy is like a cloud.
Sometimes silver, sometimes grey;
Always sun not far away.
Joy is like a cloud.
:::::
I baby-sat for a family this afternoon, and this simple song is often requested [...]

With my sister at Gooseberry Falls, Duluth, MN — July ‘09
(and if you ever hear a story from my family about me nearly falling off the falls soon after this picture was taken, it is simply not true. I only tripped just a little and said “Whoa!” I was fine, though.) [grin]

Never looking back

Posted in From the bookshelf on October 26, 2009 | 4 Comments »

Lord, I have said the eternal “Yes.”
Let me never, having put my hand to the plow, look back.
Make straight the way of the cross before me.
Give me love, that there may be no room for a wayward thought or step.
Elisabeth Elliot Gren

A thought

Posted in From the bookshelf on October 25, 2009 | 4 Comments »

When it comes to pouring out all we possess in radical abandon to the King of all kings, there is no such thing as being too extreme.
Nothing we offer to Him out of a heart of loving devotion is ever a wasted sacrifice.

 Leslie Ludy
 
The Lord has been teaching me that learning to surrender to Him [...]

Back from VOM

Posted in Travel on October 17, 2009 | 9 Comments »

We arrived home from serving for a week at The Voice of the Martyrs (an organization that ministers to Christians in other countries who are being persecuted for their faith) tonight, tired, but happy. (As I like to say, a “good kind of tired”). :) And full of fun memories, like times to talk while [...]

On Sunday, we will be embarking on yet another trip, this time to Oklahoma, to volunteer at The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM), an organization that ministers to Christians in other countries who are being persecuted for their [...]

Jesus, You Be Lifted High

Posted in Music on October 5, 2009 | 2 Comments »

This is one of my very favorite songs, and I hope it blesses you tonight, as it has me!

You be lifted high, You be lifted high.
You be lifted high in my life, oh God.
And I fall to my knees,
So it’s You that they see, not I.
Jesus, You be lifted high.

Fall…and other musings…

Posted in Musings, Seasons on October 4, 2009 | 4 Comments »

 I love this time of year! Spring is nice, and I love it, too, but Fall has a beauty all its own. It’s a very calming beauty, for me. The sun reflecting off all the golden hues on the leaves and plants gives a “warm-ness” to the air that you can almost feel! I love it!
I [...]
