words of wisdom

Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

I was introduced to this singer songwriter at the beginning of this week. I don't know why but it ALWAYS surprises me when God gives me just what I need just when I need it. Her words couldn't have been more fitting or encouraging. It is like she read my heart and put forth exactly what i needed to hear.


What I thought would destroy me leaves me stronger in it's wake.

When one thing dies something else can be created

The truth is our mistakes do not define us.
The truth is shame doesn't have to find us.
The truth is the Lord will always find us and dare us to come alive.


Thank you God
Thank you Caitlyn
