See the Mountains

See the mountains

From the valley

Wonder how

I’ll make it to their peaks

Down here, as I’ve struggled

Wonder if I’ll ever

Stand and clearly see

Will I ever reach?


The road is long

Before me

The day seems to never end

One foot, then another

My body aches 

Struggling to stand


Yet, I know

It’s not over

I know

One day

I’ll understand

The journey will

Come to an end


But as I look up

Each mountain tells the story

Of others who’ve traveled on

The long and dusty road

I am reminded 

Like arrows pointing

Towards heaven

Each one shows

My heart the way home


From the road

It’s how my heart bends

To what I already know


I breathe

And I move on…


The mountains beckon

My spirit listens 

And I won’t forget

Each stop along the road

Sometimes I linger 

A while to take in

The view before me

And the strength

I’ve been shown


That comes from 

inside these bones

One step at a time

Til I’m

Home.

In the distance you see snow-covered peaks glistening in brilliant sunlight. Your longing to reach those peaks is good, but you must not take shortcuts. Your assignment is to follow Me, allowing Me to direct your path. Let the heights beckon you onward, but stay close to Me.

~ Jesus Calling, January 18th

“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.”

2 Corinthians 4:17

“The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights.”

Habakkuk 3:19

Marvelous Mysteries

Those  Marvelous mysteries Like sunlight above the trees Often we behold so many wonders Right below our nose  With a sigh Realize there’s so much to this life Hope seems  such a distant cause When in our thoughts  we find ourselves lost Looking so far  down the line That we stumble over the sublime At our feet In our grasp Miss it while  holding on to the past… <pause> If we can stop Take a breath Take solace in where we’re at I know it’s hard but gotta try There is more If we open our eyes… To those  Marvelous mysteries. 01/13/25 clc

Like Winter Breeze

Subtleties Like winter breeze Cooling my insides Trying to let go Caught up in The memories  So many left Even if I know That time will bring her  Back to me Maybe just in a thought Hopefully, she remembers me Don’t have to wonder  ‘bout that Think I already know But the future Isn’t a Disney movie It’s often times More like losing And moving on Breath it in Think I already know See my breath On the wind Escapes, And then I breathe again It’s amazing How such a little gesture Seems to show It’s not just about letting go It’s also about Knowing There’s spring After the snow… Wake up heart Only God truly knows And we get so caught up Tossing to and fro Winter morning - Help my weary soul. 01/15/25 clc

In Mississippi

Wonder if her heart‘s  still in Mississippi? Whispering Pines go back in time Wonder if she’s missing? A little peace, piece of her soul Often times those are the hardest  places to let go Roots Run deep Life may twist and turn I wonder if she keeps Looking west To a place her spirit yearns  To be Oh Mississippi, I hope her heart finds peace I still say a prayer For her to be Back in Mississippi,  if that’s where she’ll find peace 01/14/25 clc
