Blank Pages

April 27, 2011 by Traci

Blank page staring back at me.

Heart full, wanting to write.

Not knowing how to express it all;

So i wait.

Blank page staring back at me.

Mind racing with no place to start;

So i wait.

Blank page staring back at me.

He gently whispers in my ear, my heart.

How can you write if you have not met with me,

the writer of your soul,

the giver of your breath,

the maker and very essence of your passion and desire?

I hear Him this morning through my blank page.

Warm tears roll down my cheeks.

Yes Lord, I hear you.

I need your filling before I can be emptied out on blank pages.

You are a blank page that He longs to write upon.  Don’t forget to meet with the author of your soul.

Psalm 63:1-8

1 O God, you are my God;



I earnestly search for you.


My soul thirsts for you;


my whole body longs for you


in this parched and weary land


where there is no water.


2 I have seen you in your sanctuary


and gazed upon your power and glory.


3 Your unfailing love is better than life itself;


how I praise you!


4 I will praise you as long as I live,


lifting up my hands to you in prayer.


5 You satisfy me more than the richest feast.


I will praise you with songs of joy.


6 I lie awake thinking of you,


meditating on you through the night.


7 Because you are my helper,


I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.


8 I cling to you;


your strong right hand holds me securely.

    Dear Traci,
    your post brought tears to my eyes this morning. Letting God write out story, letting His pen write and dictate our steps, what a beautiful things, why oh why we often try to write it, instead of letting Him do it, the one Who does it so perfectly.

    “all the days of my life are written before me, before one came to be” somewhere in psalm 139…. should memorize me verses location better hehe! too lazy to grab my bible now

    Much love
    Renee

    Traci, this was so beautiful and I could SO relate to it… I’ve been in a dry place myself. Loved the Psalm.. one thing we can always depend upon is that God will come after us in the wilderness we’ve wandered into and with loving arms take us back home where we belong!

    Hugs for you and baby!

Blushing with your delicate, rosy hue, a gentle b Blushing with your delicate, rosy hue, 
a gentle breeze blows through fresh, new blooms.
Your time is fleeting, yet faithful,
a promise of beauty each spring.

Gifting petals that fall to the earth,
You are waiting for me to visit you.
Basking beneath warm shadows,
Deeply breathing in nature’s favorite perfume. 

A legacy of faithful promise,
Graceful, elegant, familiar and kind.
As the sun streams through branches,
Your reflection twinkles and twirls, 
Leaving your dance card upon my heart.

You whisper, come linger a little longer,
No need to be in such a rush.
Through storm clouds, torrential rain, 
and those picture perfect days,
You continue your steady climb toward the heavens.

Your limbs grow stronger, your roots deeper still.
Your humble beauty speaks for itself. 
No need to shout, nor beg for attention.
You hold the secrets of many who return year after year,
Who sit beneath your branches,
and find healing to bloom as well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Don’t trade God’s perfect timing for impatient substitutes. 

The counterfeit isn’t anything compared to the real deal. 

Surrender brings peace, joy, and rest. 

So trust fully to His perfect plan for your life. 

No more rushing ahead. 
No more backseat driving. 
No more comparing.
No more striving. 

Lay down the endless coveting of an illusion of perfection. 

He’s everything you’re longing for, 
striving after, and so much more. 

Open your hands and release your grip. 
Now you’re ready to receive His good 
and precious blessings.
In a time with so many voices, opinions and commen In a time with so many voices, opinions and commentaries, we can get overwhelmed by the noise. 

What should we believe?
What should we say?
Who's side are we on?

You can never go wrong with running to the feet of Jesus.  Get alone with God today, open His Word, and hear the words that matter above all else.
Walk in God's law Keep God's testimonies Seek Hi Walk in God's law 
Keep God's testimonies 
Seek Him with your whole heart 
Steadfastly keep His statues
Keep His commandments diligently 
Fix your eyes on His ways 
Praise Him with an upright heart 
Guard His Word 
Hide His Word in your heart 
Be Teachable 
Declare His ways with your mouth 
Meditate on His precepts 
Delight in God's statues
Ask to have your eyes open 
Ask for understanding and wisdom 
Find your strength in His Word 
Choose the way of faithfulness 
Set His ways before you 
Turn your eyes from worthless things 
Trust in His Word above all else 
Find comfort in His promises 
Make God's ways your heart's song 
Be friends with those who fear God
Value God's Word far more than riches 
Remember His faithfulness that endures through all generations 
His words are sweeter than honey 
His Word is a lamp to your feet 
His Word is a light to your path 
His testimonies are your heritage 
His testimonies are the joy of your heart 
He is your hiding place and shield 
Do what is just and right 
Hate every false way 
Ask the Lord to be gracious to you
Ask His face to shine on you 
Learn to be saddened by sin 
Daily put His promises to the test 
Peace is given to those who love His law
This world will offer you information, but true kn This world will offer you information, but true knowledge comes from God and His Word.  What are we filing our minds and hearts with? What we meditate on, will consume us and change us.  Let's makes sure we are being filled with truth.  Read Proverbs 2 today.  Look at all we gain from seeking after the knowledge of His Word :

Receive 
Treasure 
Listen 
Be Attentive 
Incline Your Heart 
Call out for insight 
Raise your voice for understanding 
Seek & Search 

-> then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find knowledge of God, righteousness and justice.

He is my shield 
He gives me abundant wisdom 
He guards my path and watches over me 
Wisdom will come in my heart 
Knowledge will be pleasant to my soul 
Discretion will watch over me 
Understanding will guard me 
Keeps me walking on the paths of righteousness
