In my last class through Piedmont we were challenged to expand the ways we communicate. That is why my Blog is alove again and I actually wrote a peom. A real poem. Not the kind you do for school. This was a challenge rather than an assignment. It took me a couple weeks to have the courage to share this, but here it is! So... What has the Lord been teaching YOU recently?

I TRUST

I whisper...

I have no more strength. I can’t go on.

Lord, You tell me…

My strength is made perfect in weakness.

And so, I trust.

I cry out…

The pain is too great! I can’t endure!

Savior, You comfort me…

This suffering can’t be compared to the glory that will be revealed in you.

And so, I trust.

I say…

I am afraid. My heart trembles.

Jesus, You answer…

My perfect love casts out fear.

And so, I trust.

I gasp…

I am alone. There are none who cares for me.

Father, You assure…

I will never leave you nor forsake you.

And so, I trust.

I despair…

The temptation is too strong. I cannot resist.

God, You promise…

I won’t let you be tempted beyond your strength; I will provide a way of escape.

And so, I trust.

I call out…

I am lost. I can’t find my way.

Lord, You answer…

My word is a lamp for your feet; I will guide you.

And so, I trust.

I murmur…

This burden is too heavy. I can’t bear it.

Christ, You assure…

Cast all your cares on me, for I care for you.

And so, I trust.

In every moment; in all the struggles… I choose to trust… and, Lord, you are there.
