Greetings! I'm back! I remembered this blog and thought, hmm, let me read my entries.... Then -
I was encouraged to blog again!

I want to share a poem that was a blessing and an encouragement to me as I wait on the Lord for His answers to my desires. This was taken from my 2000 journal entry...

"The Lord is sure to accomplish those things
A loving heart has waited long to see;
Those words will be fulfilled to which she clings,
Because her God has promised faithfully;
And, knowing Him, she ne'er can doubt His Word;
He speaks and it is done. The mighty Lord.

The Lord is sure to accomplish those things,
O burdened heart, rest ever in His care;
In quietness beneath His shadowing wings
Await the answer to your longing prayer.
When you have 'cast your cares' the heart then sings,
The Lord is sure to accomplish those things.

The Lord is sure to accomplish those things,
O tried heart, believe and wait and pray;
Peacefully, the evening chime still rings,
Though cloud and rain and storm have filled the day.
Faith pierces through the mist of doubt that bars
The coming night sometimes, and finds the stars.

The Lord is sure to accomplish those things,
O trusting heart, the Lord to you has told;
Let Faith and Hope arise, and lift their wings,
To soar toward the sunrise clouds of gold;
The doorways of the rosy dawn swing wide,
Revealing joys the darkness of night did hide."

What a comforting thought: God knows our desires and will fulfill them at the perfect time. Amen!
