You Touched My Shoulder

I’m changed and new
Because of you
You saw me struggle
Trying to juggle
With lies and sin
Oh! The mess I was in!
You touched my shoulder
Said, “Give me that boulder.”
“I’ll take that load and
Show you another road.”
 “Go straight, follow me,
And you will see
This road is sweeter
Let Me be your leader.
This way leads home
For you are My own.”

Do You See Everything?

Lord, what do you see,
 When you look down?
Do you see when I’m angry
 Do you see when I frown?

Do you see when I gossip,
Or hurt someone’s feelings?
Do you see me ignore,
They are fellow human beings?

Do you see when I wander,
And have no direction?
Do you see how I wiggle,
Under your correction?

Do you see when I cheat
Or skimp on a chore?
Do you see in my heart
When I feel it’s a bore?

Do you see my self-pride,
Pay attention when I’m boastful?
Do you hear what I say,
When I’m not being careful?

Do you see when I’m selfish
And really don’t care?
Do you see when I’m the first,
To cry out, “That’s not fair!”

Do you see when I pray,
And ask your forgiveness?
“Lord, change my heart
So I can do Your business!”

Hello Gentlemen!  I have a question....
How (exactly) do I use the "quote" button?  What do I do to get just the sentence, phrase, etc that I want?

Hi Guys!  I just have to pipe up here and say what fun it was to watch you guys work this all out!

Thank you for your comments!  This one in particular is one of my favorites that I've written over the years.  When I was writing it, I was thinking with child-like innocence and just had fun with it. 
I know it is going to be so far beyond what any of us can imagine!  Sometimes the anticipation just kills me. (smile)  And yet there is still so much work to be done!
4731  Entertainment / Poetry/Prose / Facing The Past on: October 17, 2007, 11:50:12 AM
FACING THE PAST

Lord, I need to find some relief,
Come with me please, to visit my grief.
Show me how to deal with the sorrow,
So there will be joy in all my tomorrows.

How do I go backward from bitterness,
To find how to give forgiveness?
I’ve carried bitterness so long,
It’s deep in me and very strong.

If I go back, will I be depressed,
With it hard to find any rest?
I fear it will take much time,
To forgive others for their crime.

Around my heart is a wall,
I built it large, not at all small.
It’s there for my protection,
So I won’t have to feel the rejection.

In it I keep my possessions,
There’s resentment in my collection.
Hurt and anger are also there,
To give them up, doesn’t seem fair.

I hold them tight and close to me,
We’re all one part, don’t you see?
They comprise my comfort zone,
To help me from feeling all alone.

This journey You want me to travel;
I don’t know if it; I can handle.
So unfamiliar will be the ground,
And it could take many times around.

I know You want me to forgive,
To come follow You and live.
Will you please hold onto my hand?
On my own, I don’t think I can stand.

Well my goodness!  When I went to post it said there was an error and that it was blank.  Now that it finally posted I see it is there twice.  Well the second one is for those with short term memory loss!  tee hee!

WILL I DANCE?

When I get to heaven Lord,
What will I see…
Will I see Your glory
Will You welcome me…?
Will I see gates of pearl
And streets of gold,
Will I be young
Or will I be old…?
Will I laugh, will I fly
Will I dance, will I sing
How long do we have
 Is there anything I should bring…?
Will I sit with You and talk
Will You tell me things…
Will we go for a walk…?
Can I see Your throne
Will my friends and family be there
Or will I be alone
Will I have a care…?
 Will there be peace in the valley
And rest for my soul
Besides my loving you
Should I have another goal…?
And what about the lion and the lamb;
Will they lie together and play,
Will You really take me just as I am
Are You the potter who molds His clay…?
Will I see Moses, Joseph and Abraham
All the disciples, and Paul
Will I meet Sarah, Ruth and Esther
Will I get to see them all…?
Can I talk to Your angels
Will I hear them sing,
How loud do they get
And how big are their wings?
I have so many questions
And lots of concerns
But for now I’ll just wait
While for heaven, my heart yearns.

4735  Prayer / Prayer Requests / Re: Son's Addiction on: October 17, 2007, 10:25:17 AM
Hello InHisHands!  And you truely are.  Having come from addiction myself along with others in my family we know the despare that you are going through right now.  I agree also in the power of prayer.  I also had accepted Christ and then went back and forth for a long time, but I had people praying for me without end.  Since he already knows Christ I know the turmoil that is going on inside of him.  The guilt and the shame on top of the addiction.  The feelings of unworthyness and hopelessness.  These are the things that are keeping him down.
I agree with the above to pray with him as well as for him.  God hears and so desires to bring your son back to Him.  What is hard for you is to want so much to help your son, but you have to give him "tough love" and make sure that you're not enabling him in anyway.
My heart truely goes out to you and I will be praying also.
I noticed that it has been almost a month since your first requested prayer.  How are things going right now?
Love in Christ,
Yvette
4736  Welcome / About You! / Re: Grammyluv here! on: October 17, 2007, 09:03:55 AM
I am so excited!  Good Morning all!
A few years ago through life and circumstances I found myself homeless.  Although I had accepted Christ at an early age I had backsliden very far and for many years.  When I ended up homeless.  After a few months and after crying out to Him, He picked me up and placed me in a Women and Children's shelter in Seattle.  I spent 2 years there and completed their program and went on to do an internship.  After completing that I went to live in their transitional housing for another year.  During that time I found a job at a very large software company here in the northwest as a receptionist and I've been working there for about 2 1/2 years now.
Well I stayed close to my friends and mentors at the mission and would visit from time to time.  There has not been a day that has gone by that I haven't thought about them and prayed for them and the new women that have gone through there.  I spoke to the women at one of their graduations and shared my testimony and what God has done for me since leaving there. I had developed such a heart for the homeless and have thought many times about things that I'd like to share with them.
Here is the exciting part folks....Last week out of the blue I got a phone call from one of the directors asking if I would be interested in interviewing for a case management position!!!  It is what I have been praying and hoping for!  I interviewed last night after getting off of work at my regular job.  It went exceedingly well and I will be doing a second interview on Monday with a panel of about 5 I guess.  But here is the deal... I know them all!!  I won't be interviewing with strangers but people I know and love!
Even though I am barely getting by now financially, and this will mean a cut in pay, I am trusting the Lord that if He wants me there I will be and He will provide!  I will be in ministry and giving the same hope and encouragement that I received while there and that would be my dream come true!
I am so excited that I can hardly stand myself!

Prayers for God's will accepted!
Yvette (Grammyluv)

Good Morning Tom and thank you!  I agree with every thing you said, Praise God!  I have been a Christian for a long time and have even taught bible study so I know that all you said is so true and so encouraging for those of us that are already saved by God's good grace and love. Amen.
Although I know that all these things must happen before the rapture, which I believe is at hand, I am amazed at society's blindness, nativity, and out right rebellion.  I know also that it's because their hearts are hardened and their eyes are blinded to the truth.  And as I said earlier or maybe in a different post, it is so hard to watch what is going on now.  Chalk that up to my compassion I suppose.

On another note, I have been reading a lot of these posts and I am so grateful for you, Pastor Roger and DreamWeaver!  I so appreciate the knowledge that you all share with us on here!  God bless you!

Thank you Pastor Roger!  That was fabulous and clear!
4739  Theology / Debate / Re: thou shalt not kill on: October 15, 2007, 08:52:02 AM
Actually, no I don't hate DW wife's murderer.  I think it's wonderful and awesome that DW could forgive him and lead him to Christ and that the man is now sharing the gospel in prison.  Nothing excites me more than when one more comes to Christ!  The alter call is my favorite part of any service.  It is only in the case of children that I get so riled up and sick to my stomach.  That is why I asked the question in the first place.  It's something that I really struggle with.  Especially since we are to, "Judge not" and God says, "Vengeance is Mine" so I know this is something that I need to leave in God's hands.  Knowing that God will prevail and that, "All knees will bow" is where I get my peace from or a lest being able to cope with it and hang on.  But it still makes me incredably angry when I hear of these poor children again and again and again.
4740  Theology / Debate / Re: thou shalt not kill on: October 14, 2007, 10:47:17 AM
I think it's wonderful that you could forgive you wife's killer and lead him to God.  That is a wonderful testimony!
However, everyday we read of child abuse, molestation and child rape.  I'm sorry but my feelings are I want them dead.  I cannot imagine what those little children went through and more than any other sin I feel it is unforgivable.  If they are forgiven of God before execution then I will have plenty of time to love them in Heaven.  Until then I think we have a duty to make examples of them, through death, so they will know that it is unacceptable.  Studies have shown that those that hurt children will not change.  They will continue to do it until they are stopped.  I for one do not want to support their sorry lives in prison and as I said before I think we need to set a precedence that it will not be tolerated.
I don't know why I can agree that all should have the chance to come to Lord and be forgiven even in the case of Jeffery Daumer (sp?) but to torture a child, NO.
