DEDICATION

After I had finished my 6TH Poem Book, I thought I was finished writing, but The Lord had other ideas! The day before my Step-Dad passed away, I began to write (one poem), then, during this time of sorrow, The Lord began to give me many more Poems, while He was sustaining me ‘in the storm’!

We have a Mighty God Who can take us & KEEP us in ‘any’ situation we must go through! I have seen Him work in my Mother’s life & have experienced Him in my own life during this crisis time. Also in my Step-Sister’s life when my Dad passed away last Feb. ’99. The Peace He gave both of us to be able to work together to handle all the ‘paperwork’ involved, not counting all the other things that HAD to be done. Only The Lord Himself could do, in us, what had to be done & get through these times of grief.

HE also brought all of our families together without any troubles between us! No major altercations occurred & all minor ones were taken care of without everyone exploding. I give Praise & Thanks to Christ my Lord for intervening here!!! If you have never ‘sold out’ completely to Christ, my best advice to you would be to:

T R Y ~ H I M

CHRIST WILL NOT EVER LET YOU DOWN!

NO ‘DISTANCE’!"

"There is no ‘distance’ between us

as far as the Earth up to the Sky,

NOTHING ~ except your WILL ~ *

can SEPARATE you & I! *

So, if you ‘want’ to be

‘Very close’ to Me ~

Surrender ‘ALL’ just now

COME ~ I’ll show you how:

SEEK Me ‘every’ hour

of the day & night,

And be ‘glad & joyful’ at My Leading

not rebellious or ‘My Will’ ~ fight!

Come ‘freely’ where I tell you

like a child who ‘anticipates’ the journey,

Full of ‘love’ & ‘gladness’

‘expecting’ The Way to be sunny ~

Just because I’m with you

even while doing your ‘chores’,

Yes, even those ‘daily’ tasks of life

that you’d choose to ignore.

‘Accept’ each decision

‘I’ have made for you,

And your Journey will be ‘joyful’

as I Guide you through.

Your ‘WILL’ is very important

as it can save your
