HAPPY NEW YEAR! Whatever 2012 holds for me, I will not go through it...alone. Pressing-on!

How vast the territory span which we have plundered through no, there was no one else...just me and You When I stop and look back… reflecting on Your strength, patience and love I can hardly contain awe...O' Most Heavenly Dove Through many a sleepless night in the midst of all my ups and downs came You…turning into a smile - my frowns You were my keeper and My Splendid Guide wiping tears, erasing fears You carried me ashore from shipwrecks…when I thought I’d rise no more There were times when at every turn I seemed to meet an assailing force but You kept my feet on Your predestined course Yes, everything encountered was Your design not one experience was for naught I learned lessons that wisdom's net… caught! Our year together was not at all wasted along the way we reasoned and enjoyed a laugh with my growth noted on Your celestial graph Standing on the threshold of a new venue I’m prepared for another year’s bend For, with You I’ll make it...Once and Again! Ps 43:3, Ps 23 *copyright; jmsbell-12/31/2011*

A measure of the journey, a measure of the woman, a measure of her faith, a measure by measure by measure meant to be shared, meant to be lived, meant to be meaning much more than a line or a form or a verse to rehearse... meant to be shared to be shown how she's grown... more than a word, more than what we've heard, more than a show... these verses are more... more than what they bestow... simply because of Him to whom we are known! God bless you, Joyce.

Strong, positive, secure, feet planted, head raised. You not only have a remarkable gift, Joyce. You proclaim its source and share its strength with all of us. Have an equally strong 2012!
