I am still behind on my daily posting but now I am home from the hospital so I look forward to having more time to catch up and keep up.
I wait for You to speak to me,
To hear You say my name.
Knowing, Lord, that when You do,
My life won't be the same.
But when I finally hear it,
When Your message reaches me,
You tell me to let go of things
That I hold emotionally.
Things I should be able
To drop right when You ask,
But my grasping, human nature
Makes it a monumental task.
How very sad it makes me
To think someday I might
Turn away from Your request
For something I hold too tight.

To let go of what you have now for the sake of something in the future is hard. There is a comfort in the familiar and we love to be comfortable. I need to work on trusting that whatever God has for me is so much better than anything I have now.
Welcome!
I finally decided to do an in-depth study of Oswald Chambers’ “My Utmost for His Highest” because my husband recommended it without reservation. My husband is very intelligent and well read and, while I am no slouch in those departments, I usually prefer lighter fare. “My Utmost for His Highest” is anything but light, so as I read each daily devotional, I process it through my poetry. The purpose of the book is to help people to get closer to God and I really want that closer relationship. I want to share my unique perspective on each day’s selection plus some of my other poems and insights.
