My Red Sea Empty
PostSubject: My Red Sea   My Red Sea EmptySat Aug 11, 2012 1:32 pm

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

"VERY powerful...SO VERY POWERFUL!!

"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.

Just gotta say
I'm on my way
Aint gonna stay
In this old bay

The water's gettin cold
I'm gettin old
Gonna be bold
That's why I'm sold
OUT ON GOD!
