He Anchors Me ~*Marge Tindal*~  When upon life's waves I am tossed and all about me seems so lost When drowning in the murky sea To the cross of His promise He reaches out and anchors me In the storming I am steadied Readied for the tempest blown Knowing He has anchored me for all the storms to come Lord, sometimes I swim in doubt far from the peace of the shore Anchor me in the faith of you so I will sink no more And He lifts me steady makes me ready for each and every passing storm I cling to the anchor of His cross upon which my sins are borne *This inspirational painting was done by Danny Hahlbohm* ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

"In the storming I am steadied Readied for the tempest blown Knowing He has anchored me for all the storms to come" Indeed you are, Marge! My very best to you over the next little while. Perhaps we weren't promised or given a rose garden but we all have been given you and your beautiful poetry. I think that's pretty special! Much love and prayers Helen |

How many times I've thought about Peter turning from looking at Jesus with exuberant joy, to consider the threat of the high waves as he walked on the water. Each time we get caught up in the fear, we quickly sink. Keeping our eyes on Christ, we're so enabled by Him. Beautiful offering, Marge, that's most appropriate at this critical time. God bless, Rae |

Marge, I really loved this! I know our Lord is holding you even if you feel you are rocking in the sea! Hang on for he is with you always. I think there are times that many of us feel this way. ooxx Marti |

Such powerful faith emanates from your words, dear Marge! Indeed He accompanies us and assists us in all of our tempests through life and this awareness makes us maintain our faith. A very touching, beautiful write and an eloquent picture to go with. Love and hugs. Margherita |

Let me know the next time when you're in the room of "I've sinned"... and I'll bring a contingent of those who did far more...  The one thing that He has always given us is forgiveness And His pocket is full of that. |

"Lord, sometimes I swim in doubt far from the peace of the shore Anchor me in the faith of you so I will sink no more" What a beautiful and heartfelt prayer... from such a beautiful soul... He's got you, Marge... safely in His arms of love... (but then, you knew that) "When the power of love overcomes the love |

I thought about you all day today, Marge, for today is the day - Tuesday, the 19th. I have been praying that all went well and that you will soon have a complete diagnosis, and that you will soon be on your way to a complete recovery. Adding to the good wishes above, and especially Joyce's. She is so right. You are in the excellent company, of my (and your and many millions of other people's) best friend, God. - Owl |

Thank you ALL for the wonderful replies~ I am lifted by my faith and He is in control~ I know that He will not let me sink~ Owl~ I sent you and email, so you were the first to know of the new scheduling for my Bronchcoscopy ... the storms caused cancellation of the one scheduled for today, and the doctor just called and our new date is Thursday, August 28, at 9:00 a.m. I appreciate the vigil of prayer watch that you all have given me over the last three months .. time has felt like it just hangs there so slowly ... but hopefully this surgical procedure will give them what they need to reach a diagnosis on me~ I like the fact that some find me 'unique', as my doctor, who I really have a lot of faith and confidence in has pegged me his personal challenge~ I went into Shands as 'the mystery girl' ... but Dr. Jantz says he doesn't like unsolved mysteries, so he's going to solve this one ! This poem is very personal to me ... and I honestly believe that He will walk all the way with me through this health issue, and we will celebrate and give praise to His name~ I'll try to keep you all updated through the Announcements and Links Forum~ Once again, please know how much it means to me to have your prayers and your support~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
