out of death comes life
such a paradox, it seems
to be born again
I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born from above.

Born Again
Like the autumn rains
on the thirsty, thirsty plains
hope springs eternal
and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s Love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Romans 5:5 (ESV)
with hummingbirds gone
and no trees filled with bird song
almost leafless rain.
There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven.

Waiting to Shine
the marble table
sitting outside in half shade
just waiting to shine
The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
Proverbs 4:18 (NIV)

dragonfly. all eyes.
may I hold you in my hand?

together, alone
Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor His ear to dull to hear.

birds singing in the brisk breeze
thankful for the rain
Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge Him. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.
Hosea 6:3 (NIV)
