Change of Focus

CHANGE OF FOCUS

When the sky is huge

And I feel small

The ant comes to mine

A mighty insect

That gets much done

The scale of their might

Gives me a perspective insight

When the mountains are far

And I feel nothing is done

A fish comes to mine

A energetic species

That swims and swims on by

Their energy gets them a bit far

It gives me an accomplishment insight

When my love ones are miles afar

And I feel lonesome inside

Christ comes to mine

A heavenly being

Who gave up much to live

Among those he deeply loved

Which gives me a true sacrifice insight

In time my focus will not be

On the sky, the mountains

Or the emptiness of family

For the mighty power of nearness

The energy of our gathering

The loving acceptance of each other

Will fill my heart with a genuine understanding

of perspective, accomplishment and sacrifice

I will then not be bothered

By the grandeur of the sky

Or by how far the mountains are

Or the thousands of miles

Which exist between my family and I

For God’s insight helped change my focus

From where I want to be to where He has me

Until

How many times do I need to tell you . . .?

You’re beautiful!

Until, I am.

 

You’re not over weight!

Until, I am not.

 

You’re able.

Until, I can.

 

You can let go.

Until, I’m safe.

 

You can do this.

Until, I’m accomplished.

 

You’re forgiven.

Until, all my guilt is gone.

 

You can trust me.

Until, I can truly surrender.

 

Father continue to remind us, of all these possibilities, your promises. Every time our insecurities show up, may we run into your arms before lies chisel us into ice sculptures.

As for the lies we have believed, evaporate them at the touch of your hand, at the sound of your truth and at the warmth of your love. Please, remold us to live the life you’ve given us through your Son’s sacrifice. And, when the pest of lies return, which they will, help us come into your presence.

“The Lord is good. He is a safe place to go to in times of trouble. He takes care of those who trust him.”

Nahum 1:7 ERV

While You Slept

While You Slept

To you

my love

I whispered,

in the night,

“One Single

white rose

is what I

NEED

to know

I’m still

yours.”

In Love With The Sea

With your sways you sooth my soul to near you

With your roars you entice my heart to feel you

With your rolling waves you engulf me to be with you

With your gentle release you leave me wanting you more

A Heavenly Illumination

 

With the sun behind me and covered by snowing clouds, this photo caused me to ponder. where did this light come from? It reassured me of my belief of, I’m never alone.

 

And God will provide rest for you who are being persecuted and also for us when the Lord Jesus appears from Heaven. 2 Thessalonians 1:7 NLT

 

Do you believe in what can’t be seen or explain? Are you expecting miracles today or in 2019? Will your heart belief when Jesus appears from Heaven to bless you with his Light and gift you with a miracle?

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?

 

Low to the earth

and behind me

the unseen sun

traveled its course

 

Heavy snow clouds

released snowflakes

coating everything

in me with glee

 

Something pulled my soul

to the trees before me

Peace, joy swirled with my glee

setting me totally free.

 

At home, happy as I could be

I looked over my photos

In unbelief, I stared at

the illuminated sky.

 

A light had shined

before my very own eyes

which I had no clue

it had even existed

Always On Time ~ Sunrise

On some winter
Alaskan mornings
During nautical twilight
I sit, wait and watch the sky

Gray, white clouds
Reshape themselves
Gliding apart like smoke
From an unseen chimney

As civil twilight
Lights up the heavens
My heart anticipates
What is yet to be seen, color

With great assurance
The sun rises on time
Painting the sky, the clouds
The water, the ice before me

Happiness and glee
Spreads for all to see,
To receive and to believe
I then go to live out a dream

Unfelt Tears

The

Sky

Cried

Tears

I

Could

Not.

Soaked

Body

Outside

Painfully

Inside

Soul

Dried.

He

Who

Wept

Held

My

Heavy

Heart.

 

 

 

The Majesty of Nature

EAGLE RIVER, ALASKA

When the view is this pristine, its beauty runs through my veins bringing life into my heart, tugging my spirit and awakening my soul.

Suddenly, I, the me inside, can finally breath deep as I stretch my spirit to the heavens yawning my worry away from my soul to the only One who is in control.

Enchanted I Dreamed

ENCHANTED I DREAMED

 

From as far as the cloud cover mountains tops,

to the grass below my feet,

I desire to not only see,

but to embrace every part of thee,

Alaska, you’ve enchanted me.

River of Life

Life grabbed me by the seat of my pants, placed me on a boat in the middle of a river with no paddles or motor.

Cold rainy days and nights I’ve experienced with moments where I felt as if I was drowning.

Then the sky clears and the sun shines and God’s glory is seen.

When moments like this come my way, I smile as I float by.

Slowly I close my eyes as the view vanishes out of sight.

I then savor the moment, guarding my memory in my heart, for I don’t know what lies on the other side of the river’s bend of tomorrow.
