He's Raising You Up . . .

10/30/2020

Are you spending years in prison for something you didn't do? Like the story of Joseph, have you been wrongly accused? Just remember God's preparing you, he is raising you up, he has a work for you, so keep your eyes on him and don't give up.

As you sit in the darkness of the cell where you live, you can bloom where you're planted, remember Joseph did. God loves you and he cares and when it seems he's forgot, he will open the cell door, remember he is raising you up.

Be steadfast and faithful, God loves you and he is there. It's all in his plan, he's raising you up, he really does care.

I wrote this in May of 1997. While rummaging through, a few days ago, for a different piece of writing to reference for a project I am working on, I came across this and thought I'd share. I hope you find encouragement.

Perched on the edge of his desk, running his hand through his thick, dark hair in eagerness he leans forward excitedly engaging his students on topics of poetry, prose and literature. His passion . . . was infectious!
I have each assignment he listed on the syllabus for his college course. They’re stored neatly in a folder and placed in a box where, on occasion, I pull them out and read over the notes he scribbled in red on each paper. Though my college days have long since passed, the passion in his words still hold the power to reignite my own and remind me, once again, of the reason I so love the written word in its various forms; even poetry.

Guffaw Thru Life

It's such fun jumping on beds . . . and couches too and eating pie from the center before serving it to others. I love laughing and I appreciate people who make me.

Life is amazing with its possibilities. And, I am blessed by the wonderful people in my life and the liberty I have to pursue what brings me joy. In spite of life's griefs, there is peace and joy and love enough to fill all the spaces.

Zephaniah 3:17
"The Lord your God is in your midst, a Warrior who gives victory; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will renew you in His love, He will exult over you with songs of deliverance."
