I look at this girl
So full of light and hope
And feel compassion
For the soul within
Wishing only the best
May life treat her well
And so for today
I encourage that girl
Inside the woman I am today
To give thanks
And be happy
Just for today
Tomorrow I will
Wish again.
I allowed myself to cry
Great big heaving sobs
The gates were opened
My pain was released
And after I had rested
I felt better
Healing could begin
Everything good in my life has been brought to me through a blessing.
The blue eyes of my dear children.
Work opportunities in Sydney.
The home I live in.
My best friend forever.
God has brought so much across my path.
I trust that He will continue to bring what I need when I most need it.
He knows and leads the way.
Perfect timing.
Last night I was thinking of being still. I opened a book that I haven’t used in years to write some notes, and right there in front of me were some notes I had made from a long time ago. Exactly what I was thinking, ‘Be still and know that I am God’.
It was my thoughts exactly echoed back to me. A tiny message to hold on to and focus on. In the midst of turmoil, strife, negativity, cravings and the other earth battles we face, sometimes just to be still, let go and allow God his will be done.
The creator of heaven, earth, land and sky breathed life into us. We have power on our side.
I will
I will be still
And know that Thou
Art God
I will be still
And know that I am
Your child
I will be still
And listen for your gentle
Quiet voice
I will be still
And wait for Thee
To lead
Open the way for me
Oh Lord
I pray
“And in the quietness
Hear my voice
Be comforted
For I will never leave you
Nor will I forsake you
You are my child
I will protect you and
Love you forever”
I take back my own power
Growing slowly in strength
I am dreaming new dreams
Until a new dawn appears
And I will be ready
One of my favorites from when I was like ten, and running around streets of Joburg. It was a hit in South Africa.
Catch my dreams
Wherever they may float
Catch my wishes
Wherever they may land
Catch my hopes
Wherever they are blown
Keep them safe
While I sleep at night
So when I open my eyes
My wishes and dreams
Hopefully come true
