Not a Moment a Movement

An encounter with God is not a Moment; it's a Movement
A continuing relationship that will bring much self-improvement

The Glory of the Encounter often asks how it can be greater 
Only to realize the depth of Love is infallible from our Creator

It is true: Every Day with Jesus Is Sweeter than the Day Before
Bowing my head and thanking Him continually for Evermore

Taking care of myself

I must take care of myself before I can help others 
If I am weak, there is no way to help my brothers

I must eat and exercise to be healthy and fit 
I will be prepared to help others without regret

My spiritual life should be the same
Faith prepares to help without blame

When seeing a brother struggling with  sin
Coming alongside feeling God’s Love within 

Encouraging one another in the Love of God
Brings Blessings to all in the paths  we trod

The Weaving

Rug
In the weaving, I am but just a thin thread
The Master Weaver uses me as He is led

I am woven continually in a beautiful pattern
Finding in the end that my thread does matter

Using me to highlight others' threads
That their exquisite color may spread

It takes all to be woven in one tapestry
To reveal the Master's Devine Majesty

The final weaving of God’s Glorious Work of Art
The unexplained feeling of His Love in my heart

Life is like a vapor

Life resembling a vapor fashioned after  the clouds in the sky
They move, shifting their shape disappearing from my eye

Though can't be seen any longer, the moisture is still there
Lacking adequate intensity for the necked eye to share

Life is fleeting, swiftly passing from my sight
In an instant disappearing in the dim twilight

Blending

Life is a blend of many little things
Summing them up, the Grandeur it brings

Making the right choice of the tiniest decisions 
Will lead me to the path of Heavenly Visions

Knowing right from wrong will lead you down the right road 
Waiting on the Lord taking time to pray lightens my load

Whatever you do, never forget who made you and me
Drawing your last breath the light of Jesus, you will see

Leaving

I'm leaving and moving to another state
Having difficulties deciding what to take

What was important early on is not so important today
It is much easier to lighten my load and continue on my way

When I leave this old world some glorious day
I thank God for lightening my load as I continue to pray

Difficult to wear

Adorable seven year old american girl in baggy over-sized suit over white background.
Man's laws are most difficult to wear 
Being tight, too loose some cause fear

Adorning them in public embarrassing at times
Making them fit may cause many crimes

Man always making up many new laws of the land
Just to see how long he can keep them or If he can

Only God’s laws fit perfectly every time
Designed to make our souls shine

Man's law so restrictive making it difficult to move
Gods plan giving us freedom through His Son in all we do

Thank you, God for knowing us so well
Sacrificing your son that in Heaven we may dwell

Dawn breaking in Mars Hill, North Carolina

Dawn breaking in Mars Hill, North Carolina 
His Glorious Majesty in no way could be finer

The Stunning Sunrise stretching  across the Vast Sky
The Glory of the Birds chirping Feeling God's Love Arise

His Name spanning the sands of time
My steps get lighter with each step I climb

As I Bow my head and Pray Before Him
A Revelation from Heaven enters in

Oh My God, How Great Thou Art
Thank you for Living in my heart
