| I awoke this morning to the reality of what I would face once again The rain of pain of brokeness Brought on by the thought of No Way Out I had come to MY Red Sea Waters seemingly so deep That a single wave could carry me away To a place of very nothingness To be replaced by distant memories Where was my hope? But a spoken word Rose from the depths of my despair And shouted to me "I said. I AM" And the force of the might of His word Caused that which I faced To have to part and make way For Grace Oh, why do I whine and complain When circumstances seem to overwhelm And fear tries to set down on my spirit When I know that the ground I now stand on Is simply a test for the next step I should take |

"I said. I AM"
"And the force of the might of His word Caused that which I faced To have to part and make way For Grace"
"TO HAVE TO PART AND MAKE WAY FOR GRACE, AMEN AND AMEN, SAY IT AGAIN AND AGAIN" STEP ASIDE...COMING THROUGH, STEP DOWN...STEPPING OVER YOU!
Somewhere... between Florida and Texas, There's a Preacher on fire, get behind what He's gettin' behind cause' He's clearing "The Way" through traffic.
And this Preacher/ Servant/ Professional Driver, is stayin' between the lanes straight down the aisle and keeping wide awake!
Best regards to your Spouse, God Bless you both, Love You! I appreciate you both very much and am very grateful to Our Lord for allowing me to get to know you both a bit more and for what you share with us.
Would love to see this "pinned."

| Kind and gracious words from both of you, thank you. Kat (my lovely bride of 25 yrs) had a very big part to play in this work. We were riding and talking one day of trials we face and she mentioned the red sea and what it presented to the Israelites. Like us that created a place for God to show His might FOR US!!! And if that don't light your fire, your wood's wet. |
