Gathering poems, and sharing one of my very favorites. Written about five years ago, straight outta journaling. Morning journaling times are the best, yes? OK, may this one bless your socks off…NO, make it your feet. May these words bless your feet off! This one has a definite beat! Enjoy!

Today I want to walk you through a morning of journaling from the heart, to the heart of God. Are you ready?
You will need your journal, and a pen. You will need your Bible, and whatever reading plan you follow, or Scripture you are meditating on for today.
You may have a beverage, but usually my coffee grows cold as I set my pen to writing my heart to God.

You are worthy of my trust, my complete trust. You are worthy of my confidence, my complete confidence. I have nothing, nothing I can give; but I ask you today, this day, please help me to live. Not in my former ways, trusting no one-least of all my self Not in what I can’t or can do based on poverty or wealth. Yet, in humble submission to what I can’t see for only you comprehend all I can be. I stumble too often on what others say Too often satisfied with having my own way Both of us know where these struggles lead so more of you, less of me is what I do plead. All things are possible with you I believe, beyond what my mind can fully conceive. You’ve never deceived your chosen ones, by grace and faithfulness, each battle’s been won- Let me continue this race, wholly trusting your Son, not in others nor self, but in what you have done, not in others, myself- only in what you have done.
