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!

12/08/09 graven hands in the shadows


‘My name is graven in His hands’
Who am I that You would love me so?
You know my heart so full of wrong
You know my weakness and my sin
How can You have died for me?

I don’t understand Your love
Oh God, my God my only hope
Where can I look but to You
But my eyes will not
For I know the blackness of my soul.

And yet You love me
As often as I fail it remains
As far as my feet take me from You
Your love does not waver
And I have naught but pain

Your love draws me home
Even in my sorrow and pain
Even in the depth of dispair
Even through my angry rebellion
And my heart breaks with desire for You

I know no other love
That could fill this void in me
And even through my fear
I reach for You
The only true sanctuary from myself

I cannot work through this pain
I don’t know the answer
The urge to quit is overwhelming
And I feel myself sinking
But I know You Lord have written me on your hands

And even through the angst I live
I will never let go of You my hope.
Job’s wife said just curse God and die
But it’s not possible to remove You from my heart
I cannot leave You – the One who truly loves me

You seem to be in the shadows
Hiding Your face from me
But I know You are there
And I am seeking You
I long to be with You again
