Candlelight flickering, knelt to the ground. I ask for strength, I ask for courage. Opening my arms wide, I hum a little tune. Wondering what it is that I must do. Unknown to me at the time, but know fully aware. God has given me everything for free. Rarely a moment passes, that he is not by my side. Here he is now. Announcing courage to wash over me, to lift me out of the darkness. To Bring me off my knees. Grateful I am, to have such a wonderful King. And to know his love for me. Everlasting! <3 Heart 2 Heart <3 |

Hi Susan, I appreciate your welcoming to Pip, but I am not new to pip. I tried to make it rather clear in my signature who I was. I have nothing to hide so again thank you, but I am not new. I just found that I have grown so much in the past few years that I was ready for a change, a new journey. C2S. <3 Heart 2 Heart <3 |

HiKellie~ 'Rarely a moment passes, that he is not by my side. Here he is now. Announcing courage to wash over me, to lift me out of the darkness. To Bring me off my knees.' Ironic, isn't it ... that moments in life send us to our knees, seeking Him ... finding indeed that He can lift us higher~ Nice penning, sweetie~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*No matter what I search for ... |

I enjoyed your poem, Courage2Survive. Yes, God is a very present help in trouble (and even when there is no trouble). I think you meant "but now fully aware" in the 3rd stanza. - Owl |

Kellie, Of course I knew that but figured the new name deserved a welcome just as all new names here in the blue do. |

Opening my arms wide, I hum a little tune. Wondering what it is that I must do I loved these few lines.. So many times I've asked myself that very same question. Beautiful write! |

Dearest Marge- Thank you for the thoughtful and caring comments. God works in mysterious yet remarkable ways. I am blessed to have him as a part of my life. Just as I am to have all of you a part of my life as well. Dear Martie- Thank You indeed, theres so much of a journey out there and yet to come, I am glad to be taking it, one step at a time. Dear Owlsa- Yep you are right I do need to change that line, I had a mistype. Thank You for your kind words. Dear Sweet Susan- Much appreciated, I was thoughfully worried at first. I enjoyed the card. Very pretty. PictureMe2- Thank you for the warm welcome, although I am not new, I appreciate it. I have been here for about 4 years however. It was very sweet of you for the welcome though, thank you. Dreamdc- I wonder that every day, every waking moment. Someday I will know because the answer is in my heart and at least I know that much. Angelheart- Thank You for the kind thoughts. <3 Heart 2 Heart <3 |
