Opening Statement

Lately, I've had a desire to start a blog.  Where this is going I have no idea, yet the desire hasn't left.  Through the years I've shared mainly with individuals and on a couple of occasions with a group the events of my life that bring me here. From the time I accepted Jesus in my life at the age of 30 years old, poems would come to me.  As I would write one line I would hear the next line, sometimes I would just sing the words. They would bring comfort and soothe my wounded spirit. Through +divorce, the raising of my children, (now both deceased due to +Cystic Fibrosis), + kidney cancer and the struggles of life I found comfort in the words given to me.

My son, Todd would often tell me "Mom, God hasn't given you this just for you, it is meant to be shared.."  I would always give him the answer that I shared with individuals that I met when I felt prompted to. It's going on four years since Todd passed and the words come back to me urging me to try.  What a shame to die and never know what if.  We never know what we can do until we try. I leave you with the first thing I wrote after I had accepted Jesus.  I was lying in bed one night when within I heard these words and thought it was beautiful.

Dear Lord Jesus

O Great Saviour up above

send down to me 

your great gift of 

love

Take me and make me

in your image 

Speak to me Lord 

of my new beginning.

I knew that night that there was something more, something that I didn't understand.  I pondered where did these words come from. Through the years the poems would come at various times.
