EverywhereIi look I see You
Even in the midst of pain I feel You
I hear You
I know that You are there
I feel Your arms of comfort
I sense Your warm embrace
I feel the wind of Your Spirit blowing gently on my face
Comfort me with the comfort
With which I shall bring comfort
Love me with the Love
With which I shall give love
Extend Your hand to heal
Let me walk in Your peace
Pour out Your goodness
Let me sit at Your feet
Walk with me
Abide in me
Surround me with Your love
Father let me be known by my heart
Not by what I do
Allow people to see into my soul and
Know me for me

Perhaps a more fitting title would be ramblings of a mad woman! From mad at the world to mad about Love, I must warn you now that I am extremely opinionated and yes, long winded! So, grab a cup of java or a glass of vino, and curl up on your comfy chair...Deep calls to deep...come take a drink.

The Blind See 4/28/2011
A Testimony of Healing
Yesterday while visiting with Ella (our newest goddaughter!), a representative of the hospital came in to bless the Miller's and their new baby. She began to share with us that she was a German holocaust survivor from the tribe of Benjamin and a descendant of Paul and that she had received Yeshua as the Messiah, her Saviour. She said the doctors at Emory call her a walking miracle because at night when she takes off her glasses she goes completely blind. She has a seeing eye dog and everything. She said she has to set her alarm to wake up two hours before she needs to be up because she's in so much pain that it takes that long for her eyes to come to a place of orientation where she could see. She also said many of her Jewish relatives have come to Yeshua as a result of the miracle and her own walk with the Lord. As she was talking, I asked Papa what He wanted to do. You could tell this was a DIVINE SET UP. I asked her if we could pray for her and she agreed. We released the power of the Apostle Paul's testimony over her (Paul receiving his sight when someone prayed for him) and declared that she would no longer experience any pain and would be able to see 24/7. After releasing the Kingdom of Heaven into her body, she stayed and talked with us some more. We hugged her, blessed the work she was doing releasing the love and goodness of God at Southern Hospital and she went on her way. Today, she stopped by the Miller's room and told them the first thing she noticed when she woke up this morning was that she could SEE her clock!!! Normally she has to touch it to read the numbers and 'see' what time it is. The second thing she noticed...ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN!!! haha! C'mon God! Jesus is getting what His blood paid for!

Can I Trust You To Love Me
From the little girl in me. For every person who has ever felt controlled or manipulated by another. For every parent who shadows or suffocates their child's life out of fear of their choices. For every person who has been set free to love. For every person still searching for that freedom, may you find it in the arms and eyes of the One who gave His life for you - Jesus Christ and His Heavenly Daddy.
Can I trust you to love me
Can I trust you
to hold my hand in your heart
Without laying it down
Or breaking it apart
Can I trust you
to lead me
To guide me with your eye
Without trying to control me
Or make me comply
When I look in your eyes
will I see love
or disappointment
will you simply berate me
Taunt me
Can you call out my gold
Still love me
when I'm at my worse
Or will you bang your fist
Shake your head
Spew vile words and curse
Can I trust you to empower me
To teach me to think
Will you crush me beneath your power
Cause me to shrink
Back into the wall
Afraid and alone
My voice snuffed out
beneath your tyranny
My glory no longer shone
You control and define me
Til no longer I know
What it means to be free
You have all the power
Scared to give me any
Fear that my choices
Will make you look silly
Fear of my mistakes
Fear of how I'll make you look
Compels you to keep me
safe on your hook
Push back the bondage
Say no to control
The Father has come with Truth
To make you whole
He's arrived on the scene
Snips the cord on those lies
Hey! Look at me, I'll guide you with My eye
I don't know that I can trust you
But I can trust Him
I'll risk loving you regardless
I'll go out on a limb
I can't change you
I can control me
Can't get you to see
The freedom I walk in
My sweet victories
I no longer have to
Shrink back
I have a voice
I'll choose to risk loving you
Even though you'll want to exert power
I'll receive His grace
To live free
It's sufficient
Every hour
I've learned to be me
The sting of your rejection
Swallowed up in Christ's victory
There's freedom in that
That keeps me from withholding
There's a confidence I gain in Him
That keeps me beholding
His eyes define me
His love it shapes me
Molded by His truth
To break the chains the bind
Tis true they say
Love wins every time
Can I trust you to love me
I'm not sure that you know how
But there is One who loves me truly
Restored my glory
Set me to ruling
There is One who restores
What I lack
The pain of my wounding
Was taken upon His back
In Him my love tank
Is filled to overflowing
In Him my life
Is radiant and glowing
Because of Him
I'll take the risk
Because of Him
I'll love regardless
Who I am
Is not defined by you
I'll love like my Heavenly Father
With passion
With fervor
With commitment
With zeal
With honor
And integrity
I'll let love heal
Can I trust you to love me
I don't know
But I can trust Him
He'll protect my heart
Heal my hurts
So I'll go out on a limb
I can't control you
Or how you do life
But I can control me
So I'll choose right
To be the same me
No matter the situation
Or circumstance
To love every time
Give people a chance
To choose truth over lies
See gold where there's dirt
To live free of fear
To run to Papa with my hurt
Hurt people hurt people
Healed people heal people
Controlled people
become controllers
Or worse
They become victims
It's over
We say no
It's time to end this
senseless rhythm
Maybe I can't trust you
But I can trust Him
And with that knowing
I'll go out on a whim
Love heals.
Love wins.
Love frees.
Father, into Your hands, I commit my spirit.
