This song in this post ran through my mind a good bit while we were at the ocean. This verse from The Love of God did too. Could we with ink the ocean fill and were the skies of parchment made, Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade, […]
Make Me a True Woman, Lord
Lord, I want right thinking, I want to know what’s true, Lord, I need discernment, I need your wisdom too. I want to be a woman, So grounded in the Word, I want to be your woman, To listen! To have heard. Lord, I want to study, To know it inside out, To recognize wrong-thinking, […]
Blessed Be Thy Name Forever
I waded out into the surf and I gazed across the rolling waves.

I bent to swish my fingers through the foam and watch the water […]
