A Poem

Far into the dark
Places of despair I go
Farther and farther

Downward I go fast
Until I can no longer
Stand on my own feet

Laying bloody and
Brusied, unrecognizable
From battles I fought

Protecting me from
An outright slaughter of faith
A light from above

Light piercing the dark
Growing brighter and brighter
helping me to stand

Angels surround me
With swords drawn at my defense
Giving me a hand.

Christ will not leave me
in the dark places alone
He will send angels

Heaven's warriors
Defending this child of God
Until I can stand

Trusting in Jesus
In face of persecution
Knowing He protects

Keeping me by faith,
The faith I was fighting for,
The Promise of Christ.

My future with Him
Is a surety of mine,
Praise the Lord, I'm free!

Money Store

A few weeks ago my 4 year old son "L" asked me if we could go to the money store. I was confused as to where that really was so I told him that a "money store" didn't actually exist. He looked at me and said very plainly that it DID exist. I asked him where. He replied... Buffalo Run Casino.
Well considering that I do not gamble I was surprissed that he thought a casino was a "money store". The wonderful world of commercials on Television.

"S" gone

"S" has passed away. I really do not know the state of her soul, although I was told that she said she was "ready to go". It is so hard on the family because she didn't tell anyone she was ill. One of her sisters found out only 3 weeks ago and the other 2 a week after that. The rest of us in the family found out on this past Sunday.

I believe "S" was supposed to be here instead of her home when it was time to leave. She wanted to be around all her family...those who loved her and supported her unconditionally over the years. I will miss her. She was one of the most out going women I've ever known. Lord Jesus...keep her in Your hands now.

Why do I stress myself to a headache? How come I can not just let a worry go? "S" is dying and there is nothing I can do about it. I don't know if she is saved or not. I don't know if she even want to talk about salvation. "S" has been in the hospital since Sunday morning. I have not been able to go see her but hubby is there right now. I know I need to leave it all in the very capable hands of Jesus, but I can't help but worry.
