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!

11/05/10 safety? or peril ?


As I walk on this precipice between darkness and light my life flame burning bright to dim to near blown out it seems,
And I think of the hinds feet in high places and the surety of their steps
Why is that?  I wonder, and it comes to me that it is because they are who they were made to be. 
Their steps are sure for they fulfill their purpose, and have no question of it.
Often as I move through life the darkness seems impenetrable and I see not the path or illumination for my steps
But if I take my steps in concert with my purpose I can be sure that the path lies before me and I will not fall.
And what purpose would that be I ask myself often of late as it turns out.
Then back to basics building on the foundation of His purpose, it’s to love.... 
Where my heart takes me – to the broken ones He’s heard cry out to Him.
This purpose to be used to draw them into Him – the only place where true peace and comfort is found.
My arms, His arms, my voice, His voice, my life and work and very being His, that remains behind to do His will.
Such amazing rest to know where I belong.
This cliff oft rocky and perilous seems, but a safer place for me there could not be.


Jesus I believe would have been hanging out with the beggars thieves and biker dudes were he here today.
But wait!  Is it not us that have Him dwelling within?  I wonder why we’re huddled in a corner then..
I’ll take the danger of the hurting masses who are real and live their honest pain
To sharing light weight trivia with a band of Pharisees’ who look down their nose at me.
