True Colors

No makeup, no curling iron, no perfume, no plans - just me, before God. Wow...that makes me smile; the realization that I know that I can be that way before God. It's His unconditional, not human love that is like a magnet in our world of image, looks and career plans. Why, then, do we turn to the world for our validation? The God of the Universe loves us "as is" - what else is there to search for? So simple, but so hard to stay centered in.

My Center

Jesus
My center
Hope and light
In the storms of life
Praise for the multitude of blessings
Your majesty rains downs
Endlessly, faithfully
Perfect love
Jesus

Your Voice

Lord, let me hear your voice

Amid the din of everyday life.

In the quiet of a new morning

Let me hear You clearly and surely.

Your voice quiets my soul

With an assurance of your presence.

Your love envelops me

Like a warm blanket on a cold night.

How can I be sure that it's You that I hear

And not the desires of my human heart?

Your voice brings peace to my innermost parts.

Your voice is filled with the Spirit's fruits.

Your voice is my rock, my anchor, my salvation.
