Back to school today- first day of a new term. Had a good start- praise God! Wanted to write about 'imagination'... but I think I need to spend some more time studying His word about this and waiting on Him to show me more about that. I found this poem I'd written a few years back, that when reading it again all these years later, gives me encouragement, that even though still today, I can get overwhelmed by some of what comes my way, in my family and work life, and probably just life in general- God is right there with me, holding my hand and walking me through this wonderful life. He's reminding me that instead of becoming overwhelmed- with Him, I can overcome! Amen:)
Piling up…
I looked around
And all I could see
Were piles and piles
Awaiting me
What I had put on wait
What I had put on hold
Were staring at me
Getting old
All around
And all within
The weight of the piles
Began to look grim
But there in the midst
Of all of my mess
Stood my Saviour
Ready to bless
He took my hand
And told me to rest
You can wait
I have only the best
He prepared a way
Through all of those piles
What seemed like eternity
Was just a few miles
He paved the way
He showed me the truth
He gave me my life
He raised the roof
He held me up
He comforted me
He walked out and stilled
My storm in Galilee
Thank you Jesus
I never could do
Without the strength
That comes in trusting you.

So true to how we feel sometimes about all the clutter we fill our lives with...
Thank you Jesus for this poem, and thanks mum#2 for sharing them with!
