Sunlight Sunset
The sunlight in the morning
The leaves rustling gently on the trees
Tell of God's goodness
And His amazing grace towards me
The sunset at evening
The colors flittering painting the sky
Wipes away my burdens
Calms my anxious beating heart
The darkness at night time
The dimming of the evening lights
As I lay my head to sleep
I pray that the future will be bright
Behind The Scenes of Your Life
Truly God was with me
Truly He deeply cared
Provided everything that I needed
Moved in wondrous ways
I've seen miracle after miracle
That convinces me He's real
I'm overwhelmed by His faithfulness
Humbled by His love for me
Whenever I have my doubts
I'll look back on how far He's taken me
Surely the God of my yesterdays
Will be my God in the coming years
A Woman's Strength
A woman's strength is not found
In her muscles and physique
The flex of her biceps
Or the strength in her feet
It's not in the swing of her hips
Or the power of her seductive charms
Her ability to lure and seduce any man she desires
Her seductive skills may be strong
But that's not all a woman represents
Her strength is found in her intelligence
In her smile and the way she carries herself
Her dignity, class and her belief in herself
Her ability to smile in the midst of turbulence
The fact that she can forgive, be kind and not take offense
Women are fearless and oh so strong
From the womb they've birthed many a nation
A woman's strength is priceless her strength unmatched
They're the crown of creation
Truly heaven sent
Upstream
The little fish swam purposefully upstream
With all his strength and might
Going towards the prize
The prize called life
A school of fish heading south passed him by
They laughed and jeered
They were raucous and loud
Thinking he must be a clown
But only dead fish go with the flow
He wasn’t dead
That he knew for sure
Maybe they’ll get it in the end
