what already is

writing a few songs to add to the 'getting over myself' theme... :-)

reading and listening lately to some cool insight from different places...

friends, authors, wisdom from Job, doubting thomases, joy in the unexpected places, like severe thunderstorms, and my children, my husband, the weight of wilderness stories from close friends.... just a few, but soooo rich and i'm gaining! gain of hope, faith, joy, love.. the fruit of god's spirit i'm learning more about through all of these and more~



here's a start to the first verse..

looking left and right
but it's right here
in front of you.
tired of putting up a fight
so alone-and you wonder
where to go, what to do
yet all along,
as you strive for more,
what you need the most is this...

not something new
just knowing what already is

mmmmm..... really rich, Lis.

Hey here is somethin....

A little quote from someone I heard lately...

"Many people talk of the "still small" voice of God as being something so quiet because it's so far away..
But I have always thought of it being so quiet, like a whisper, because He is so close."

Just a little somethin' somethin... sounds like a chorus maybe?? lol!!

so this is where you've gone... i was wondering if you were on to some writing. this impressive part of john's writing comes to mind as it has often these past weeks... "as a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore. so Jesus said to the twelve, 'You do not want to go away also, do you?' Peter answered Him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.'" jn 6:66-68
this has become the prompt of my chapter entitled 'profuse growth'.
