World full of needs

Each worthy cause

Hearing God’s voice

Presence gives pause

 

Spirit’s actions

Heart fills with grace

Seeking to serve

God’s chosen place

 

His guiding hand

Light walks ahead

Trusting in faith

God’s daily bread

 

Each open door

God always near

Growing in love

Never to fear

 

Needs overflow

Faith’s timely seeds

Planting each one

Watchful God feeds

Jerrie Mock Quotes

Jerrie Mock (1925-2014) was an American pilot who grew up in the state of Ohio.  In 1964, she became the first woman to fly solo around the world. 

Nobody was going to tell me I couldn’t do it because I was a woman.

Airplanes are meant to fly.  I was completely confident in my plane.

Innocent Dreams

Sleeping beneath midnight stars

Dreaming of faraway lands

Tracing desktop’s spinning globe

Traveling with comfort’s hands

 

Searching for bold adventures

Filling imagination

Revolving world comes to rest

Discovering location

 

Boarding fastest clipper ship

Setting sail, freedom ahead

Lighting up destiny’s route

Leaving comfortable bed

 

Traversing treacherous seas

Sailing toward setting sun

Scanning distant horizon

Anticipating more fun

 

Pulsating alarm intrudes

Crashing through innocent dreams

Waking for Monday’s school day

Leaving journey in midstream
