It's so encouraging to receive tailor-made attention from God and The Universe. I believe we have a big cheering section urging us to move just a little higher, a little higher, each day. I have journals that go back over 40 years. I've been reading them over the past year and they are filled with accounting of all sorts of signs and wonders, manifestations and synchronicities. I wrote a poem about how important they are to my staying steady on this journey.
My Personal Psalm
When the storms of life are raging
In deep peace shall I abide
I'll retrace my soulful journey
In my triumphs I shall hide
I'll recount the steps I've taken
to attain this sacred space
use the courage I have garnered
for the storms that I must face
While the hurricane is raging
I will sit within His eye
let the howling, spinning tumult
roar away, but pass me by
In my minds eye, holding steady
never wavering, ever sure
Faith in God and inner being,
what life brings me, I’ll endure
Calmly I’ll recite my litany
standing strong beside my fears
this, my personal psalm, my history
faith enriched throughout my years.
How the sun came out to warm me
when I cried out for a sign;
How my heart takes flight rejoicing
when birds of doubt descend to dine.
Answered prayer; dreams of promise;
Needs met ‘ere I knew to care;
Love poured out by friends and strangers;
Sense of hovering wings in air.
Holy Word laid down foundation
Guide for life within this land
but it’s my Personal Psalm of triumph
bids me rise and walk and stand.
