Reflections

Our trips in October and November brought us to Florida, Georgia and Texas.  There are so many images from the trips -- women dancing and not wanting to leave when the seminar was over; women 3 rows deep kneeling at the altar in prayer and grief over the loss of a loved one; all the tears, rejoicing, and freedom.  There was the sweet time of singing Amazing Grace with the women in the Ad Seg Unit at Carswell.  Women accepting Jesus - returning to Jesus - being healed and restored by Jesus.

There were women waiting to be deported; waiting to be released; and those sentenced to death.  So many women and so many faces - I try in my mind's eye to take a picture at the places I visit so the memories will remain.  When the words are difficult to find to express what God did, I am comforted that women will send correspondence lessons, an occasional note, or a poem.  The one below just arrived:

God's Child

 

As I walk this lonely highway

As I walk life's lonely road

People all around me wondering

Where I'm gonna go.

And as I'm on my journey

Through life's fears and woes

I will walk with Jesus by me

Everywhere I go!

I am God's child

Yes, I'm God's child!

 

People always asking questions

Who are you?  Where you from?

I'm just walking toward tomorrow

Don't you want to come?

Just put your trust in Jesus

He's everything to me

Just walking on the water

Is where I want to be.

I am God's child

Yes, I am God's child!
