Middle Name Meme

Morgan over at Aunt Morgan's Blog tagged us for the middle name meme. (Thank you, Morgan!)

~

Here are the rules: Post the rules on your blog, and then give your answers. List one fact about youself for each letter in your middle name. Each fact must begin with a letter from your middle name. If you do not have a middle name, use your maiden name (or create a middle name). Once you are tagged, update your blog with your middle name and your answers. At the end of your post, tag one person for each letter of your middle name. Leave them a comment on their blog telling them that they have been tagged, and that they need to come read your blog for details.

If We Could See Beyond Today
~

If we could see beyond today

As God can see,If all the clouds should roll away,

The shadows flee;

O'er present griefs we would not fret,

Each sorrow we would soon forget,

For many joys are waiting yet

For you and me.

If we could know beyond today

As God doth know

Why dearest treasures pass away,

And tears must flow,

And why the darkness leads to light,

Why dreary days will soon grow bright,

Some day life's wrongs will be make right;

Faith tells us so.

If we could see, if we could know, We often say,

But God in love veil doth throw across our way;

We can not see what lies before,

And so we cling to Him the more,

He leads us till this life is o'er,

Trust and Obey!

This picture was taken near Linville caverns.

Here is a picture of the blanket I just finished crocheting this week. I really enjoyed making it:)

Thou Art Mine
~
When Thou passest thru the waters,
Thou art Mine!
They shall never overflow thee,
Thou art Mine!
Tho thou walkest in the fire,
And it seeketh to devour
Thou art precious in My sight, child,
Thou art Mine!
~
Everyone that's called by My name,
They are Mine!
They're created for My glory,
They are Mine!
I have chosen them to serve
And My holy name preserve.
They are precious in My sight, yes,
They are Mine!
~
I will do a new thing for them
That are Mine!
In the desert send them waters,
That are Mine!
Fear not then, for I am there,
And their path, 'twas planned with care,
For I love them, Oh, I love them
That are Mine!

Sorrow looks back
Worry looks around
Faith looks up

Only one life,
'Twill soon be passed:
Only what's done
For Christ will last.

"When the outlook is dark, try the uplook.

These words hold a message of cheer;

Be glad while repeating them over,

And smile when the shadows appear.

Above and beyond stands the Master.

He sees what we do for His sake;

He never will fail nor forsake us,

He knoweth the way that we take."
