He Hears Our Cries
Feeling alone? Can't seem to find a way out?
I believe there is One who hears each and every word we speak and each deep groaning of our heart; who is there to provide comfort in a way that will be found via no other source; who has compassion beyond that anyone has ever experienced; and who will be there when no one else remains.
Just as Joseph was delivered from his pit, and Shadrach out of the furnace; and Daniel with the lions, I believe God is still in the rescuing business today. Come for a journey with me through the struggles we face in our lives and the times when you feel like you can't make it and discover the answer for peace in your life - no matter what the circumstance.

Rising Waters
Things can get tough before they get better,
The rain falls ‘til it can’t get any wetter.
Sometimes you just get sodden right through,
You don’t know how it could happen to you.
You already feel that you’re down and out,
You’re in your dreams and you’re trying to shout.
But just like everything, no one can hear,
You feel defeated and there’s no one near.
Just when you’re feeling your light is fading,
And waters are rising, you’re no longer wading.
There is a hand which can deliver you,
He’ll never let the waters overcome you.
