Press Forward.

As I look back over my life I see, though faintly now, a grand design and a loving designer who longs to walk this road, called life, with me. His hands have always been outstretched for me, when I’ve failed and when I’ve pressed close; He’s been there through the pain and the joy, a shelter to flee from the pressure and sadness of this world, a strength in time of weakness: a friend, none rivaled.
He’s been the other pair of footprints traced in the sands of time, the other I see walking with me. Sometimes I forget, sometimes the tears blind my vision, but he’s always been faithful.

Now I look forward to the uncertainty of the future, and wonder what my part is in His plan.
One thing’s for sure, God isn’t done with me yet. There are more souls to seek, more pilgrims to encourage, and more ground to gain. It feels so overwhelming, there’s so much to lose, and so much more to gain. Will I be faithful with my entrusted talent: will you...?

There’s work to be done, and a battle to be fought and won- let’s press forward.
Soli Deo Gloria


I do not know what next may come


Across my pilgrim way


I do not know tomorrow’s road,


Nor see beyond today.


But this I know; my Savior knows


The path I cannot see,


And I can trust His wounded hand


To guide and care for me.





I do not know what may befall


Of sunshine or of rain;


I do not know what may be mine


Of pleasure or of pain.


But this I know; my Savior knows


And whatso’er it be’


Still I can trust His love to give


What will be best for me.





I do not know what still awaits


Or what the future brings;


But with the glad salute of faith


I hail its opening wings!


For this I know: that in my Lord


Shall all my needs be met,


And I can trust the heart of Him


Who has not failed me yet.

  3. Wow Becca....what a God! It made me cry as I thought about my own journey. He never fails does He? May we trust Him more and as a little child place our hand into the one that will never let go!
