~I AM~
Do you need me?
I am there.
You cannot see me, yet I am the light you see by.
You cannot hear me, yet I speak through your voice.
You cannot feel me, yet I am the power
at work in your hands.
I am not strange visions, I am not mysterious.
Only in absolute stillness beyound yourself can you
know me as I
am.
And then but as a feeling and as a faith.
Yet I am there, yet I hear, yet I answer.
When you need me I am there.
Even in your fears I am there.
Even in your pains I am there.
I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.
I am in you and you are in me.
Only in your mind, there amidst "mine" and "yours."
Yet it is only with your mind can you know and
experience me.
Empty your heart of empty fears.
When you get yourself out of
the way, I am there.
You can of yourself do nothing but I can do all.
I am in all.
Though you do not see the good, the good is there.
I am there because I have to be, because I am.
Only in me does the world go forward.
I am the law in which the movement of the stars and
the growth
of cells are found.
I am the love that is in the laws fulfilling.
I am assurance.
I am peace.
I am oneness.
I am the law you can live by.
I am the love that you can cling to.
I am your assurance.
I am your peace.
I am with you.
I am.
Though you fail to find me, though your faith in me is
unsure,
my faith in you never wavers.
Because I know you.
Because I love you.
Beloved, I am there
I AM...

~SET YOUR SAILS~
DIRECTION...
Keep your sails set thru the night,
for even in the dark there is light.
Life holds happiness more than it seems,
it's never to late to follow your dreams.
Life renews and love forgives,
and the hope of childhood forever lives.
~Jody Bergsma~
Safe Harbor
Each time when I
through life's fierce storms
have passed,
and ill winds changed
the course
my vessel laid;
when dangerous seas prevailed
God's help
I've asked.
He navigates my ship
each time
I've prayed.
My journey through
life's ocean soon
will cease.
A harbor safe
has been prepared
for me,
within the realm
of love and joy
and peace,
and there
no threatening waves
. . . for eternity.

~ETERNAL HOPE~
Dreams are born in the heart
and take flight in the imagination
Each day is a gift from God
waiting to be unwrapped one ribbon at a time
The mind is a strong tool to be used
not a soft cushion to be sat upon
Don't sacrifice the future
by living in the past
Life is not always your idea of perfection
but even the sky just isn't as beautiful without
some clouds
Remember after every storm comes the rainbow
and it all seems worth the trouble
Laughter and prayer are the sweetest melodies
of the heart and soul
Life is not life until it's shared with others
