I wanna sing
High above the mountaintops

I wanna dance
All day long, don’t ever stop

I wanna run
Till I reach the sun

I wanna keep dreaming
I wanna have fun

I wanna inspire
I wanna touch souls

I wanna grow closer to God
I wanna know Jesus
His message unfold

I wanna love and be loved
Love God, myself, others, this world
Be transformed into a woman
No longer a girl

I wanna be a blessing
I wanna give
I wanna reach high
Touch the sky
I wanna live

Lord, help me to be
The woman you designed me to be

Toxic voices in my head
Burning its way through my soul
Until it’s dead

Poisonous words I hear them say
Stealing my joy from day to day

I wish there was someway
To get them out
I can hear them scream
I can hear them shout

“You suck”
“You’re no good”
“You have no worth”
Those liars fill me up with a mental curse

I wish I’d never let them in
These toxic voices roaming within
Within my mind
Within my soul
To my demise they will play a vital role

The Spirit of Christmas

                                

The spirit of Christmas

Can’t be bought from a store

Christmas spirit means so much more

It’s not found in the decorations or under the tree

The spirit of Christmas lives in the heart of you and me

Its love, kindness, generosity

Forgiveness, joy, quality time with friends and family

Its thankfulness and great appreciation

For what we have and good relations

The spirit of Christmas can’t be bought from a store

The Christmas spirit is a message to us from our heavenly Father

It means a whole lot more

The spirit of the season

Not only this season but every season

Already lives in the hearts of you and me

So let it out, set it free, and carry the spirit of Christmas

The love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ with you dayly

 

 

My Christmas Prayer

 

My Christmas prayer

For you is simply this

A life filled with God’s blessings

This is my Christmas wish

Happiness, Joy, Friendship, love

Modern day miracles right here on earth

Guidance, protection and grace from the Lord above

Great success in whatever you do

Prosperity, financial blessings, the best

I pray for you

May you have a Merry Christmas

The best you’ve ever had

Ring in the New Year

With an open heart

Welcome all good things

Dance and sing, praise, rejoice

Glory to God

For all the wonders this life brings

 

Merry Christmas

Sometimes in your life; it gets quiet and you wonder where has your Savior gone off to but you don’t realize he still there; he is still working on your behalf but sometimes he is just keeping a low profile. My Father’s still with me but like I keep saying this is my waiting season, so there’s no big noise here.

Footprints in the Sand – Poem

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.


This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.


So I said to the Lord,
“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?”


The Lord replied,
“The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you.”


Mary Stevenson
