All the way

All the way my Savior leads me;
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my Guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.

All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread;
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living Bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.

All the way my Savior leads me
O the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages—
Jesus led me all the way.

Resonating in Oneness

"And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the heart knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for all the saints according to the will of GOD. And we know that GOD causes all things to work together for good to those who love GOD, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:26-28

My inner and outer tears have been real, but my joy has been equally genuine as I lift my petitions and praise Heavenward. There have been moments where words could not be formed, but there is always a heart's cry and a pervasive acknowledgement to seek Him in everything. How wonderful it is to have my own personal translator speaking on my behalf so accurately when words cannot be found.

Today, GOD's grace and kindness rained down through several people and in several essential categories, providing the encouragement necessary to sustain me through the next few steps of stepping heavenward.

As morning dew softly refreshes the ground, so my soul is refreshed with today's dew drops!

Winter Chores

Winter is waiting in the wings for the pace of life to slow down and provide opportunities to pour through the seed catalogs, organic gardening techniques and any other pertinent reading. While the ground sleeps, the plans are sprouting!

Clattering Hopes Hanging in the Wind

As I ventured out my front door, a north wind clattered the few remaining dried leaves clinging to the trees. We too face seasons in life where we are left parched, withered, discouraged, hanging on to the hope that life will come again to nourish, restore and sustain our weary lives. Looking up at the leaves, I was again reminded that as life runs its course of seasons, each is beautiful and glorious in their own right and each serves an on-going purpose of beauty and function.

If we yield to the Master Designer and Creator, we will find a renewed source of life to thrust us into the next season. He will sustain us with His mighty right hand.

Psalm 1
1)How blessed is the man who does not walk in the council of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2)But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.
3)And he shall be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season, and its leaf does not wither and in whatever he does he prospers.
4)The wicked are not so, but they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
5)Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6)For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
