Who but You?



Who but you hung the moon in the sky and made the sun stand still?
Who owns the cattle on a thousand hills and caused the ark to fill? 

Who parts the sea and tells the ocean when to stop? 
Who commands the rain to fall to water our crops?

Who knows every hair on our head and word before it's said?
Who turns water into wine and raises the dead?

Who heals the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in spirit?
Who gives peace to the dying where they don't have to fear it?

Who is slow to anger and quick to forgive?
Who offers salvation to those who call on Him?

Who makes heaven His throne and the earth His footstool?
Who puts Satan on a leash with limited authority to rule?

Who leaves the 99 to find the lost one?
Who welcomes all no matter what they've done?

Who is Alpha and Omega, Abba Father and the Great I Am?
Who is wrapped in light, clothed in majesty and both lion and lamb? 

Who hears the prayer of the soldier in the foxhole or the woman who has three months to live?
Who hears the graduate confused about which direction to go or the addict with nothing left to give?

Who sent his son to die on a cross and rise three days later?
Who is coming with the clouds to gather all of His laborers?

Who but You?
None, God. Only You.

Seasons of Life

  “Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?”   Stevie Nicks wrote these lyrics in 1973. I have listened to Landslide more times than I can count, and each time it hits right in the gut. It’s a song about change. About fear, love, aging, and the quiet questions we all carry as life keeps moving forward.   As   I listened again recently, with the end of another year approaching, I found myself reflecting on the last twelve months. This has been a year! I’m not even sure what adjective fits best. Crazy maybe. Long. Unexpected.   Sometimes life throws so many curveballs at such an accelerated speed, all you can do is try to keep up so they don’t knock you down.   2025 has been filled with a plethora of lessons in love, humility , fear, doubt, grief, and joy. They didn’t all come easy. But then again, we were never promised easy.   In fa...

I Waited.

  I beckoned you to come near, but my way didn’t look like what you wanted.   The lights of the night drew you in, Pulling you into dark corners.   I waited.   You searched for acceptance   in people with empty promises and hollow souls.     You longed for love, not realizing it was mine you needed all along.   I waited.   You turned toward me in moments in need, in fear but each time, you pulled back thinking the distance was too great to cross.   I waited.   The end of your rope seemed to get longer.   Still, I waited.   Your choices led to pain. Things once whole began to fall apart.  What you held onto slipped through your hands.   I was there. I waited.   Then, gently, I opened your eyes to what you had been chasing And your heart to what had been chasing you all along.     And when you finally stopped running There I was,   exactly where I had always been. Waiting.

Journey with God

Did you know there’s a bird famous for holding the world record for the longest nonstop flight from Alaska all the way to Australia? It traveled over 8,000 miles in just 11 days! I stumbled upon an article about the Bar-tailed Godwit while mindlessly scrolling through Facebook, and I’ll admit, I didn’t know anything about this bird before. These fascinating shorebirds escape the harsh winter for warmer climates. My first thought was, why don’t they just stop somewhere closer along the way? According to experts, stopping earlier often means landing in places with less food, more competition and predators, and poor habitats for their long bills. The Godwit’s long nonstop flight reduces these dangers. Even more impressive, these birds begin preparing for their expedition several weeks in advance. They don’t need to eat during their journey because they gorge for 1 to 2 months before departure, building up fat reserves. A few weeks before migration, their digestive organs shrink to reduce ...
