"GO!"

"GO!"
By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

Stepping out in the water, braving a new day

I'm having trouble moving, fear of failure in my way

I'm already on adventure but I've come to this crossroad

 I could take my leap of faith or take the road I know

Will I brave the great divide, have the experience of my life

Or will I take the way that's easy and and forever wonder why

Will I trust you where you lead me or go on my own way

Thinking I must know me better, like by your hands I was not made

Oh forgive my hesitation, I know not what I wait for

And please will you be patient, do not leave me at this door

Couldn't you just push me, It's like my feet are frozen

"Just go!" I say to myself, "You know it's the way you've chosen!"

Think of all that's waiting, all that's to be discovered!

Lend your hand to help another and live your life uncovered!

Drink in the open spaces and watch the mercy flow
Merge into your own calling, come on now, GO!

Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. Isaiah 60:1

Happy Fall, Y'all!

Happy Fall, Y'all!

On The Edge Of Splendor

"On The Edge Of Splendor"
By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

I've traveled deserts, been lost at sea

To catch your secrets that were lost to me

I've searched among the highest trees

And ridden on the steady breeze

The words you've whispered in morning lights

Fed my soul as I caught each flight

I've sought you out in the valleys below

Saw your footprints in sands of gold

Always there yet I missed you somehow

The whirlwinds distracting, I crinkled my brow

Turned my head and lost you again

Yet e'er I will seek you my truest of friend

I'm right on the edge to see your splendor

A few more steps your direction to render

Continual presence to which I can surrender

To be in your arms, your favor forever

My Maker and I

My Maker and I
By: Adrielle R. Bollin

As I lift up my head to look gaze at the clouds

The beautiful scenery away from the crowds

A quiet place for just you and I

A time to reflect and soak up the sky

I bow my head in prayerful consideration

And see the flowers that are future generations

The trees beside me in unison sway

Offer shade and strength on the lowest days

Everywhere I look I see glimpses of you

Your promises etched in each sunset hue

Your warmth and your love in every scene

Your beauty and grace on the waters serene

You whisper through pines and weep with the rain

Your steady hand guides me round each winding lane

No matter my doubt nor trouble nor storm

I know I can always find you in the creations you form

Ok, I think that these photos I took of our dogs deserve a post all their own, I am so proud of them!  These two handsome gents are our dogs.  The Chocolate Lab is Cody and the Chihuahua (mixed with a 1/4 Terrier) is named Tank.  :)
