I spoke to
God today
And this
is what He had to say:
My child,
where have you been?
I have
been trying to reach you
Many times
I tried to hold you
To comfort
you, to love you
And you
pushed Me away
You said
not today, God
I am going
to do things my way
So I went
on to another
who was
ready for Me
But you
were always
forever on
My mind
It hurt Me
to see you in pain
to see you
hurting
Wanting to
help you
Hoping for
the day
for when
you would let Me in
let Me
love you, hold you
and
comfort you
Father,
Where are you?
Why I am
right here, My child
Father, I
am ready
I have had
enough
of doing
things my way
enough of
hurting
and being
afraid
Father, I
am ready for Your love
Your
comfort
Father,
will You hold me?
Why yes My
child
I have
been holding you
all along
hoping
you would
call to Me
I never
gave up on you, My child
For you
see My Love is forever
My Love is
constant
I will
never let you down
Whenever
you call
I am
always right here
And with
that
God placed
His hand
over my
heart
I felt it
fill with love,
joy,
happiness and peace
God's
spirit filled me up
Thank you
Father
I am here
to do your will
To walk
with you
For all my
days here on Earth
Show me
Father
What You
want me to do
I love You
Father
with all
my heart and soul
I just
want to live
my life
for You
God smiled
and I saw
a tear
drop down
on His cheek
It was a
happy tear
Because
His child
had come
home.

Thank you
Lord
for saving
my soul
Thank you
Lord
for making
me whole
Once in my
life
I was so
empty
I felt so
dead
Cold and
lonely
Then one
glorious day
worn down
and broken
my Lord
reached down
and lifted
me up
Thank you
my Lord
My world
and my savior
Thank you
Lord
for saving
my soul
Thank you
my Lord
for making
me whole.

Take my hand
Oh Precious Lord
Take my hand
I'll walk with you
Show me Lord
What you want me to do
With your help
I'll follow through
My one burning desire
Oh Precious Lord
Is to live my life
For you
I bow down
On bended knee
You shed your grace
So lovingly on me
Take my hand
Oh Precious Lord
Take my hand
I'll walk with you

Christmas time is near
A time that fills some with drear
But when we take a moment to pause
We realize Christmas is about more than
just Santa Claus
It is about remembering the
birth of
a
baby -
A very special baby
God's only son -
His name is Jesus
God sent this very special gift
to us
So that we may know and share the gifts
of Him and Jesus
These gifts are known as the Fruit of
the Spirit
Love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control
Against such things there is no law. *
Through God giving of His only
son
In turn Jesus gave His life for us
We shall receive the greatest gift of all
The gift of Eternal Life.
So when you are feeling full of
drear
and
fear
Take a moment and pause
Give praise and thanks to God and Jesus
For loving us so very much
And giving us Eternal Life.

*Galatians 5:22-23
"Living Example"
It is great to share and talk
of
God's
love
To talk of His miracles
But the greatest testimony to all God's
children
Is being a living example of God's love,
God's power
God's miracles
Walking the walk everyday
God's light shining about and through
each and every one of us
Do not be ashamed or afraid
To let your light shine
This is pleasing to God
And the greatest example
When we live each day
growing in God's image
Loving each other as He and His son,
Jesus loves us
No matter what happens in life
God is our forever shelter from the evil
of this world
Stand straight and tall with your head
held high
For God is with each and every one of us
God always provides us, His children,
with what we need
Praise God, Worship God
Everyday
Give thanks for His merciful Grace
For it is God's loving grace
That we are given eternal life
Keep in mind everyday
what awaits us when we leave this world
No more pain, no more tears
No more sadness, sickness or fears
Only love, peace and glory
Living with God and Jesus, our savior
Forever and ever more
Starting with today
--Tammy B. 10/10/02
I Stand Alone No More
I use to stand alone
Always on the outside looking in
Always carrying the weight of the world
on my shoulders
Always in misery and in pain, so very
lonely
I use to stand alone
Apart from everyone
Wishing to be like another
Wanting what I could not have
Then one day as I was laying on
the
bottom
A kind, loving gentle hand reached down
and lifted me up
I was brought out into the sunlight of
the spirit
I stood alone no more
Today, I stand alone no more
Today I stand with God
Sharing His mercy, love and kindness
with others
Spreading His good news
His good news of love
unconditionally
Peace, contentment and happiness
Freedom, joy and serenity
Forever to stand with God
--Tammy B. 10/7/02
Lord, God
How great my love is for thee
I once was a hopeless sinner
And You, Lord, reached down Your hand
And lifted me up off the scrap heap
You shed Your mercy on me
I am forever grateful
Lord, I give my life to you
To do with me as You will
To share Your love and mercy with others
In Jesus' name. Amen
--Tammy B. 9/24/02
Money does not make me a person
Material possessions do not make me a
person
What makes me a person
Is how I live my life
How I treat others
How I treat myself
Living my life for God everyday
Doing His will
Makes me the person I desire
Having a positive attitude
Being loving, kind and forgiving
Lending a helping hand
Remembering to treat others as I would
have them treat me
Makes me the person I desire
Being selfless, trustworthy and
honest
Gentle, patient and understanding
Growing in God's image everyday
Makes me the person I desire
Money and material possessions
only
give
fleeting happiness
Leaving us wanting more
Seeking and continuing to grow in God's
image
Gives happiness and joy everyday
And fills us up
Written by: Tammy B. 9/24/02
Being forgiving is a part of
being
loving
Forgiving ourselves
Forgiving others from our past
Forgiving others today
In forgiving we make room for
love
We forgive as God forgives us
Wiping the slate clean
Loving others as God loves us
What freedom, peace and joy we
have
When we seek to grow in God's image
When we seek God's loving grace
and in return share God's loving grace
with others
Oh what a beautiful feeling
that fills us up
When we love and forgive
We allow the Holy Spirit to enter us
To work in us, through us, dwell in us
Oh thank You. God
For Your loving grace
Glory Hallelujah!

Make Time For Our Children
Sometimes we get so caught up
in our
adult lives
We are busy working, trying to pay the
bills
We are busy seeking to fulfill our own
pleasures
That our children get lost along the way
Our children are precious gifts
given
to
us by God
We need to remember to love them, hug
them, encourage them
Nourish them, listen to them, support
them
We need to remember to give them our TIME
We need most importantly to
share
with
them about God
We are their teachers, God has entrusted
His children to us
We seek God's guidance in helping our
children, His children
So that our children will grow up to be
loving, caring, successful adults
So today and everyday remember
to -
Make time for our children
Written by: Tammy B. 9/17/02
Dear Lord,
I am slowly learning to rejoice in
other's successes
Not to feel envious, jealousy or
resentful
For my world is not their world
And their world is not my world
But we each have our own special gifts
and talents
That You, Lord, have blessed us with
With these we build together our world
We rejoice with each other
We love, care for and help one another
As You, Lord, love, care for and help us
We lift each other up
As You, Lord, have lifted us up
Together we work to make our world a
better place
For all Your children
At day's end, Lord, we give praise to You
For with Your guidance, Lord,
Our world is better today

There are times in my life
when my troubles to me appear great
My troubles sometimes distract me
havoc for me they do create
I wander around not knowing
what to do
I feel so lost, so confused
I stumble, I fall
On God's name I do call
I turn my troubles over to Him
putting them all in His hands
there is where leave them
So I may continue my journey to His
promised land
Oh what a relief, what peace
fills me inside
when I give God all my troubles
and put my trust in Him
Written by: Tammy B. 9/13/02
Sometimes troubles seem to come
many
at
once
We take the time to pray and meditate
Kneeling before God in our continuous
faith and trust
Knowing in our hearts to the righteous
He is
just
God will give us no more than
we can
handle
We seek Him for strength and courage to
make it through
We sit, be quiet, listen and watch
The answers will come in God's time not
ours
Through each trial and test we
become
stronger
Our love, faith and trust in God grows
Through each minute, each hour, each day
We continue to pray and testify the love
and faithfulness of God, our Creator
Written by : Tammy B. 8/23/02
The Lord is good to me
For this I give Him praise and thanks
He has blessed me with many riches
These riches are not ones with monetary
value
They are riches with spiritual value
Love, Compassion, Patience, Tolerance,
Honesty
Joy, Peace, Kindness, Goodness,
Faithfulness
Gentleness, Self-control, Contentment,
Happiness, Mercy
These are the values that Jesus has and
teaches
Love one another as He loves us
Do not judge each other but pray for one
another
Together spread the glory given us by
the Holy
Spirit
Shout the good news that because Jesus
died for us
We are forgiven our sins that we may
have eternal
life
Do not quench the spirit which fills us
Instead bathe in it and let it shine
bright
So that others may see that there is a
way out of the darkness
Through God and Jesus Christ
Written by: Tammy B 8/13/02
Father, Sometimes I come to a
point
that
I just don't know what to do.
Sometimes I feel so confused.
I feel I come short of what You would
have me be.
I know I want to serve You.
It is hard sometimes living in
this
world,
Living in this flesh.
Sometimes I get so caught up in life,
Making money, paying the bills, taking
care of the kids.
Satan is always here trying to
trip
me
up,
Trying to take me away from you,
But I won't let him have me again,
He will not win.
I seek You, Father
I pray to You for the courage and
strength
I ask Your protection and guidance
I give my life to You
Constantly seeking You, Father,
everyday
Praising You, Worshipping You
I make mistakes and ask forgiveness
In my heart, Father, my one desire is You
I know You won't give me any
more
than
I can handle
Though my load feels heavy at times
I know You are always here with me
I trust you Father to see me through
Though the Prince of darkness
still
roams
He roams in me no more
I bind him and cast him out in the name
of Jesus
For I have given myself to You, Father
To do with me as You will
Amen

The Lord does not distinguish us
By age, race or sex
We are all His children
One and the same
We are brothers and sisters
Put here to do His will
To lift each other up
Together we spread His love and word
Written by: Tammy B. 7/26/02
For the great things that I do
Do not give me the credit
Instead the credit goes to my Lord
The one who has inspired me
For without Him I am nothing
With Him anything is possible
He graced me with gifts
Which I in turn use to serve Him
I pray to be His vessel - His
channel
That His love, work and words
May flow through me
Out to others
So that the many who still live
in
darkness
May come out into the Light
That they, too, may know
That my Lord that I serve
Is loving, gracious and merciful to all

Thank You, O Lord
For Your tender mercies You have graced
me
For Your gentle kindness You have shown
me
For Your unconditional love You have
embraced me
O Lord, as I bow on bended knee
My heart so full of gratitude
I make only one request from You
That You reveal to me Your will for me
That is my one desire, Lord
That I may live each day for You
To give praise and thanks to You
For the many blessings and gifts you
have graced
me with
Only asking that You reveal to me
How I may use these blessings and gifts
to be of service to You
Thank You, O Lord
For loving me
For never giving up on me
For my life that You have given me today
For the hope and promise of eternal life
Thank You, O Lord
I love You

The Flag I Carry In My Heart
No matter what anyone says,
does or
thinks,
they cannot remove from me the flag that I carry in my
heart.
My love that I feel for the flag and my
country,
they cannot touch that part.
When I lived in Turkey and was evacuated
from there during the Persian Gulf War,
America is where I was sent to be safe
and secure.
I am home today in America, the land of
the free,
Where I can worship and love God and bow
on my knees.
No matter where I am, whether it be here
in America or afar,
I always carry the flag in my heart.
That, no one can take away from me.

I was alone in a world of
darkness
The blackness enveloping me
Days forever becoming nights
The hands of death were upon me
I was tunneling endlessly
towards a
deep
dark pit
Suddenly I hit the bottom
Where there was either life or death
There was powerlessness, hopelessness,
helplessness, misery and loneliness
Doomed to die
I cried out, "Lord Jesus, please help
me."
I was lifted up out of the pit
Brought out into the light
I was bathed in the sunlight of
the
spirit
I was able to hear and see
Despair fell away from me
And was replaced with hope, faith and
trust
I was wrapped in the loving
arms of
God
There I have come to know love,
happiness, joy and peace
Calm, contentment and serenity
Through God and His son, Jesus Christ
I have been set free

So many times we put off till

What we can do today
We say some other time
Some other day
But today is the day to live
The day to do the many things left undone
The day that we give what we have to give
The day to play and have some fun
Life is for the living
Today reach out to someone who is in need
Touch a hand, change a life
Give gifts that keep on giving
Call family, call friends
Tell someone how much you love them
Today spread joy, cheer and happiness
Let your light shine its brightest
Today give the gift of love
Share the many blessings and gifts
God has given you
Today live and dare to be you

"The Little Girl Inside Of Me"
Though I appear on the outside
to be
a
grown woman
There is the little girl inside of me
that still lives
The one who is innocent
Believes in the beauty of life
Who runs through fields of wild flowers
again and again
The little girl who is trusting
and
loving
Carefree and wild
Whose feelings are tender and vulnerable
Who yearns to be loved, protected and
cared for
Who loves to play and be imaginative
Who loves to live in a world of magic
and mystery
Please be gentle with me
Please let your words be kind and loving
Please remember when you see the woman
That there lives the little girl inside
of me

"I Know Daddy"
I know daddy that you didn't
mean to
hurt
me that day you decided to take your life
I know daddy that you really did love me
But you did hurt me and I was filled
with many
questions and doubts
Why did you take your life? Didn't
you love me?
Did I do something? Wasn't I
enough for
you to want to live?
That day daddy when they closed
the
lid
to your coffin
My world fell apart
I realized then daddy that you were gone
Never coming back again
I got up and ran, I wanted to
get away
I couldn't stand the pain I was having
to face
that day
My daddy was never coming home again
I would never see you again
My life changed that day
No more did I have you to love me and
protect me
I had to learn to be strong
I had to learn to take care of me
And daddy, not only did I lose
you
that
day
But your family acted like I didn't
exist anymore
They treated me as an outcast
I couldn't understand what I did for
them to
not love or want me anymore
I would go to where you lived
as a boy
And folks who knew you said you didn't
have kids
I stood proud daddy and told them oh yes
he did
That I once was your pride and joy
But daddy as I got older I came
to
suffer
from the same disease that had a hold of you
The disease that steals your life and
your soul
The disease that steals your youth and
makes you old
The disease that leaves you in misery,
loneliness, hopelessness, helplessness
But daddy the buck stops here
with me
God has given me a chance
Through Him I am able to have a second
life
Through Him and AA, I know happiness,
joy, peace and serenity
Those things daddy that you
sought to
know
Those things that were missing from your
life
Today I know them daddy
Today I am free
Because I share your disease
I understand you now
I know today daddy that you didn't mean
to hurt me
That you really did love me
Till we meet again daddy
Please know that you still live in my
heart
I still love you so
One day daddy we will be together again
For I know daddy that right before you
died
You made it right with God

It all happened so very fast
The big fight we had
I wish we could just clean the slate
And forget the past
But for now my darling
I will just have to be content
With the precious memories
Of the better times we have spent
My heart aches now for your
tenderness

I pray that He will make today safe for
us all
and to give peace of mind to us all
Then my thoughts eventually
turn to
catching that first high or taking that first drink
I think about this very passionately
mind you
Because everything that I HAVE to deal
with
Can be gone in a blink
And to have to live life on
life's
terms
Is more than I can stand to at times
So I turn to things which I have become
mistakingly to believe
Can help me in my mission to live life
on life's
terms
And help me through the bad times
But I soon find these things
are a lie
I soon start to go back to when life was
simpler
NO DRUGS, NO DRINK, folks live and don't
DIE
Have a great 24 from one friend to

who has trouble flying
No matter how many times I keep on trying
I just cannot seem to fly
It is then that I fall on my knees and
look
towards the sky
I pray to God for help, strength, and
courage
And these to me He brings
I look around me and see gathered
Many Friends beneath my wings
Through them and God I am able again
To take flight
To spread joy, cheer and happiness
All through the day and night
I give thanks to God and these many
friends beneath my wings
For I know I am truly blessed!
Dedicated to (((Simon))) My China!

"Deliverance From A Living Hell"
When I took that first drink of
alcohol,
I passed through the gates of Hell
Life was one big party after the other,
too many to tell
As I traveled along this path of Hell
The parties became fewer as did my
drinking buddies that I thought I knew so well
I started isolating myself in this
living Hell
I didn't need anyone or anything else I
told myself
Misery and loneliness became my buddies
in this living Hell
God, someone please help me I would yell
I found myself at the end of the road of
this living Hell
Worn down and broken from the many times
I had fell
I began to pray to God for deliverance
from this living Hell
I saw this door opening, I walked
through it
out of this living Hell
On the other side were many good people
waiting with arms opened wide
I stepped into their arms, I had nothing
else to hide
They eagerly shared with me how I, too,
could live life without alcohol again
Through AA and God, our Higher
Power! Amen!!

"Before The Flower"
Before the flower is the seed
We need our friends to keep us free of
weeds
To provide us sunshine with their smiles
To nurture us with their loving care
To warm us with their gentle hugs
To love us with acceptance for who we are
Then our friends stand back and watch us
grow
And bloom into a beautiful flower
Taking pride in our beauty cause they
know
What we have become is because of them
and God our Higher Power!!!!

"A Friend You Can Lean On"
I will be there in the morning
Be there all day long
Be there in the evening
I’m a friend you can lean on
When your hour is its darkest
You can count on me
When your hour is its brightest
We’ll share the victory
Anytime you need me
Morning, day or night
Whether you’re sad or happy
I’ll be right there by your side
Don’t hesitate to call me
For that’s what friends are for
I’ll be there for you gladly
You’ll find an open door!!

Mom, this is a very special
time of
the
year
A special time to tell you that to me
you are
very dear
Throughout the year you have given me so
much encouragement,
support, prayers and understanding
With the greatest gift of all being
Your unconditional love
The woman I am today is because of you
and God above
Mom, you are the greatest of all mothers
That's why I am wishing you the happiest
Christmas ever!

Once there was a beautiful girl
and
handsome lad
Who united and later became a mom and dad
Dad went on to live with God in heaven
Life alone for mom and daughter began
The road they traveled together was a
bumpy one
As time passed, mom and daughter became
best of friends
A strong bond between the two was formed
They now, not only share their love for
each other
They also share their love for Jesus
Christ. Amen!

When I feel unsure
You’re always there to pick me up
When I am cold
You put hot coffee in my cup
When I need love
You let it flow out of your heart so
freely
So why should I worry
As long as I have you beside me

Each morning I arise
To find each hour holds a different
surprise
Each night I lay down to sleep
To let each new surprise keep

A mother is always there when
you
need
her
Whether you live near or far
She comforts you and makes you feel
better
Her love is the strongest of all there
are
These words I know are very true
Because mother dear they describe you

"The Key To Youth"
As a child, I couldn't wait
turn
sixteen,
then eighteen and finally twenty-one
When I reached twenty-one, I wanted the
clock to stop so that my aging would be done
I found though that the clock would keep
on ticking
My once cherished youth was in for a
licking
I decided to run, but didn't know where
to go
Time started ticking by faster and
faster, somehow time had to be slowed
I stopped running and took a good look
at where
I had been
The road I had traveled had been really
rough and bumpy,
it was time for me to stop and let life really begin
I observed my elders who were so young
at heart
Through them I found the key to youth, I
knew where to start
Though the clock still keeps ticking
Now aging is in for a licking
Because time will not touch in me the
most important part
And that is staying forever young in my
heart

If today was disappointing
There is always tomorrow to look forward
to
In hopes of accomplishing all the
important things
And to work on making dreams come true
