What You Said Then

-
I am amazed
I ask questions and You answer
You see through all the ways I hide
And speak straight to my heart

Sometimes it's so foggy, I can't find my way
What to say, what to think
But You show me the way
Bring cheer on the darkest day
And when doubt starts creeping in, You tell me again
You tell me again

A different day
But the message is the same
10 years is a long time to wait
On a promise that seems too late
But what you said then
You're saying today

I sit here and wait
My eyes are tired
My heart hesitates
But what you said then
You're saying today
It's not too late
It's not too late

I read a book once when I was a kid about a girl who found a house and did that, but I can't remember the name. When I see a house like this, it makes me think of the little farm family that once lived here. If I try hard enough I can still see kids running through the yard laughing and mama hanging clothes on the line. Simpler times, simpl...

Transitions 107

Stepping out of the old and into the new can be and has been stressful. I guess I'm at the "and" part between old and new. Maybe even in the "d" of "and". Trying to get my courage up to live a different and new life. Trying to think of the possibilities instead of the doubts. To trust instead of fear. Because I know, without a doubt, that God does have a plan. God has brought me through many hard times. I believe He will bring me into many good things and that the landscape of my life will look vastly different. Psalm 107:1-43   1-3  Oh, thank  God —he’s so good!      His love never runs out. All of you set free by  God , tell the world!      Tell how he freed you from oppression, Then rounded you up from all over the place,      from the four winds, from the seven seas. 4-9  Some of you wandered for years in the desert,      looking but not finding a good place to ...
