Even when I turned my back
God kept His hand on me
Though I wandered lost and blind
He tried to make me see
No matter where I looked for love
my needs would not be sated
until I turned my heart to Him
Oh' how patiently He waited.
He opened my heart and opened my eyes
to more love than ever I dreamed
Hope now lives where heartache dwelled,
my Lord stopped the devil's schemes.
His grace has washed me in the blood
my Savior shed for me
My sin died upon the cross
of that old rugged tree
Though never worthy did I feel
to Him I am a treasure
To live my life devoted to Him
is now my greatest pleasure!

My Purpose
Well now that I've jumped into this (with a little pushing I might add) : ) I wanted to explain that my purpose is to hopefully provide some inspiration to others that no matter what the storm there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I pray that everything I post on this site will proclaim my love and thankfulness to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Unless otherwise noted, all of the poetry posted will be my own personal works and most of them are the result of my own personal journey. I must acknowledge my best friend, Amber, for her support and encouragement. Between the Holy Spirit and her tenacity I had no choice but to start this journey and I continue to trust the Lord to lead the way wherever this may go. I am so thankful to God for the gift to put my thoughts into words. Amber is an incredibly gifted artist and has a blog site I encourage everyone to visit, she just put our first collaborative effort on her site http://www.jewelsfromjunk.blogspot.com/. God has truly blessed me with the presence of some wonderful people in my life and I'll add more about all of them as I go along.
