Even if I know that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.
From Hebrews 10:23: “Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.”
Martin Luther Quote

Cherished Whisper Calls
Every wilderness journey
Another footprint unknown
Tomorrow always uncertain
Turning over each heavy stone
Lost among daylight’s darkness
With every tentative step
Smallest ember of light’s beacon
Finding vacant cabin’s doorstep
Door’s rusted hinges swing free
Waiting, barely hanging on
Vivid memories gather now
Warmly colored with worn crayons
Bushel of thoughts now arrive
Rekindled glow from fireplace
Yesterday no longer frozen
Gentleness cradles weathered face
Surrounded in breathless peace
Slumber’s cherished whisper calls
Weariness at last overcomes
Cuddled under nightly dream’s shawl

Sarah Ban Breathnach Quotes
Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves. We must learn to respect them. We must learn to listen.
Today expect something good to happen to you no matter what occurred yesterday.

Passion for Deliverance
From Psalm 32:6-7: “Therefore let all who are faithful offer prayer to You; at a time of distress, the rush of mighty waters shall not reach them. You are a hiding place for me; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with glad cries of deliverance.”
Journey’s faith seeking tomorrow
With every step, walking upright
God’s promises shall be fulfilled
Wilderness left, following light
Prayer’s faithfulness fills each day
Steadfast grace flowing from above
God’s mercy liberates each heart
Mission finished through Savior’s love
Darkness exits, righteousness leads
Passion for deliverance formed
Peace found in Savior’s forgiveness
Every breath of transgression transformed
God’s renewal of creation
Invitation to sinners each
Reconciled through Savior’s body
His blood flows, repairing faith’s breach
Mankind divided no longer
Each barrier crushed by love’s weight
Freedom’s light borne on Calvary
Redemption’s now visible gate
From 2 Corinthians 5:17-19: “So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; look, new things have come into being! All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation: that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us.”

Stormy Stampede
Thunderstorm cuts in
Night plunges into drama—
Rescued at sunrise
Shadowy Isolation
Dancing all alone
Searching for tranquil partner—
Sunset’s peace steps in
Discovery’s Joy
Scaling mountaintop
Unveiling fresh perspective—
Creator reveals
