I Dream...

1:00 AM |

I dream…

I wake up in a room,

Lit only by the shine of a moon.

A room cold and bare,

As if no one had seen to its care.

I dream…

I walk to the door

My shoeless feet tiptoeing across the floor.

There is the door knob – do I dare?

The door glides open, but no one is there.

I dream…

I step over the threshold

And I’m no longer cold.

Not looking back, I step forward.

Not knowing what I am headed toward.

I dream…

I am walking on a narrow path.

No sign of anyone who had been there last.

There are no shapes or shadows in sight.

Only a clear, but starless night.

I dream…

I stumble and fall

But I stand back up, straight and tall.

Ahead, a fork in the road, I see.

Barely visible in the dawn, a choice for me.

I dream…

I sit, I watch, and I wait.

My future is ahead, but I don’t want to be late.

The wrong path chosen, dissolves my hopes.

Choosing the right path, releases my yoke.

I dream…

My decision is made.

The path I choose no longer fades.

The horizon, my eyes seek,

Searching for the mountain peak.

I dream…

I am gliding along the path I’ve chosen.

Time no longer seems to be frozen.

My heart beats steady and true.

Colors begin to shift in brilliant hues.

I dream…

I see the path widening ahead,

And a voice in my heart said

“You have chosen well, my child, continue on

And you will never be alone.”

I dream…

Of walking the miles of life,

Less the burden of stress and strife.

Knowing the joy in my heart

Will never again depart.

I Am Taking a Stand

1:00 AM |

Posted by Karen

Today, I am tired and weary.

My head aches from every day care.

My eyes are hot and bleary.

My heart has taken all it can bear.

I pray for peace to overcome me.

I pray for my eyes to open wide.

I pray for wisdom to see.

I pray for God by my side.

I am taking a stand

To be guided by

God’s divine hand

and wipe my eyes dry.

My hands uplifted high

Thankful and in praise

God’s mercy on me is nigh

Glory to God to the end of my days.

Psalm 6:1-10 (NIV)

1O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger

or discipline me in your wrath.

2 Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint;

O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony.

3 My soul is in anguish.

How long, O LORD, how long?

4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver me;

save me because of your unfailing love.

5 No one remembers you when he is dead.

Who praises you from the grave?

6 I am worn out from groaning;

all night long I flood my bed with weeping

and drench my couch with tears.

7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow;

they fail because of all my foes.

8 Away from me, all you who do evil,

for the LORD has heard my weeping.

9 The LORD has heard my cry for mercy;

the LORD accepts my prayer.

10 All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed;

they will turn back in sudden disgrace.

Isaiah 55:8-11 (NIV)

8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

neither are your ways my ways,”

declares the LORD.

9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,

so are my ways higher than your ways

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 As the rain and the snow

come down from heaven,

and do not return to it

without watering the earth

and making it bud and flourish,

so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:

It will not return to me empty,

but will accomplish what I desire

and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Hebrews 4:14-16 (NIV)

14Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. 16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
