DRIFTING

I felt so strong and full of hope
The future seemed so free from stress
When suddenly a storm cloud formed
That robbed me of its peace and rest.

It was so subtle at the start
The winds of change that blew my way
Had left me drifting by the tide
Without a compass or a Guide.

Despair gave way to helplessness
As waves of doubt tore me apart
I could not reach the shore alone
Until He saw my pleading heart.

Then side by side with arms of strength
Through grace He drew me back to shore
And like an anchor to my soul
There is no drifting any more.

Amen. He is our stronghold and our fortress. PTL!

Ginny has all of Dicken's books! Wow, I rarely meet others who are such fans, except of course Charae. :)

I'm so glad to hear that you're visiting the Spafford's and preaching at church! My family and I won't be there though... I'll miss seeing you, but we made the move from Trinity to a community church because it's easier for Mom (who's still a bit unwell) to attend, as it's only 5 minutes away. Have a lovely trip though :)

Love you!
