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.

August 3, 2010 “The Compelling Purpose of God”

God, take me aside
When You see I’ve lost my way,
When I think I’m doing Your will
As I’m crashing through my day.


Jesus, help me realize
Your compelling purpose now.
Show me what You’d have me do
And let me know just how.


You chose me for a reason,
Something I’m not privy to.
Surround me with your purpose.
Open me to reflect You.
