About Me

My photo
Hi I am a Christian, a nurse, the mother of two grown children and two grand daughters, one grandson, and 3 dogs. I love people and have a huge heart. So why am I blogging? Well I've been told that I need to publish my writings. This seemed to be the easiest way to do that. Also, I want to get out there and live life to the fullest. Empty nests are great because now I get to explore the world. I'm starting right here on my computer. So come along with me and as I learn to fly we'll soar together!

Oh that I could no longer be led about by the bonds of the feelings of this flesh.
Would that I could be led by the Spirit alone.
Rather than what my heart is tangled up in.

Nevertheless I live
My flesh a temple of, dwelling place for my LORD
A member of His body
Heart and soul melded together with Him and His will

How then do I function, in this seemingly schizophrenic life?
Oh Holy Spirit I would yield to Your directing.
I would to crucify my flesh had I the strength, but I don’t know how to yield to You and walk in Your strength.
I fail so often in my weakness and wonder why I am allowed to keep going on.
What possible glory can I bring to my Father?
What purpose is my life other than to glorify Him?
How can I continue to stumble and profane Your name LORD?

Pain engulfs me round about and I find myself drowning in it.
Grief rules in my heart as I look and only see the pain of the result of sin.
I faint in my weakness and cry out to You my God.
I cry out for Your arms to hold me and keep me safe.
I reach to You but I do not find You.
Your presence is hidden from me and I am inconsolable in my loss.
Where can I go to find you?
