My Personal Psalm

[Abbara]

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.

Building a new home, the sky was full of ominous clouds. I looked up prayerfully thinking of the Red Sea... and imagined God's giant finger coming through the clouds and getting rid of them. Went in the store for milk, came out to a totally cloudless sky. The Church Lady was hooked! Many more funny and serious things happened... I wrote'em in my journal or I'd have forgotten a bunch of it. I couldn't go back to warming a pew. Nope!
