I love to process through writing - whether it is letters or lyrics/poetry. But, I haven't been doing much of it lately. This morning, I was reflecting on my consistency in trusting God's plan for my life...which seems to be up and down from day to day. Anyway, I found a poem/song that I had started (barely) a while ago, and I added to it this morning. Enjoy...
Let me dwell in your security,
Make your promise become my plan,
Let me linger in your love always,
And know it’s in your name I stand.
Though my mind knows the truth,
Let my heart believe too,
And with all of my life,
Let me glorify you.
And I sometimes may question,
Or my not understand,
Let me always remember,
My life is in your hands.
Let me walk in your radiant light
Help me follow where you lead
Let me rest in your unending grace
Recognize you are all that I need.
Let me hang on your every word,
Listen to you when you call,
Let me live out your kingdom, Lord,
Submit to you as ruler of all.
Just yesterday I was reminded that God wants us to rest in him and find patience through our faith in him.
About Me
- Jess
- I am originally from Madison, WI and the oldest of three siblings. I consider my family and friends to be a huge blessing in my life. In the past five years, I have renewed my faith in God. He has given me his love and grace, and is helping me learn to love and serve others well where ever I am in life. I am currently getting my Ph.D. in speech and hearing sciences with a focus on autism research - and I will be over 30 when I finally finish - crazy! I feel so lucky to have found a passion in my career and to have this opportunity to go back to school. Words to describe me (in alliteration): optimistic and outgoing; curious, caring, and quirky; hopeful and hungry. Things I love: personality tests, trivia, fall, hooded sweatshirts, polka dots, ice cream, beer, The Office, and Jim Halpert.
