Just Before Dawn

Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.

The dark still lingers. 


Coffee perked. 
The morning sounds beginning. 
My farmer and girls; still milking. 
The pause before the day begins. 
One of my favorite times of day. 


It is the time I feel most in tune with my Savior. 
The time when my heart is full. 
When I feel strong. 

It is after my feet have touched the floor. 
The moments where my soul has been refreshed in the Ancient Word. 
Each day holding on to a truth. 
A verse to cling to. 

Holding a steaming cup of coffee. 
I breathe deep. 
I let go of the thoughts that seek to discourage. 
I hold fast the truth. 
I step into the newness of the day. 
This is work each day. 
I am ready for what God will send my way. 
There is nothing He and I can not handle together. 
I want to see where He leads. 
I long for lives to be changed. 
Hope.
I long to be used by Him for His work. 

Won't you step into that path today? 



Lay down those burdens. 
Seek a better way.




With God, all things are possible. 

Matthew 19:26
Jesus looked at them and said,
 "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

Those Ancient Words

Helping. 
Spreading hope. 
Our compass. 
Guiding and encouraging. 
Truth. 
And a reminder in a song. 
Those words are holy. 
Handed down through generations. 
Faithful ones, sharing their journey. 
Changing us. 
Molding us into the children we were created to be. 
The sustenance in my life. 
Evermore so these past 17 and a half months. 
The Ancient Word breathing life. 
Word by word. 
Though by thought. 
Reminder by reminder. 
The Captain at the helm. 
Guiding.
Steering toward the end. 
The final walk,
Life eternal. 
Forever in Glory.
