He provides for me in unimaginable ways.<br />
<br />
When the sun sets,<br />
He raises it.<br />
When the storm comes and the clouds loom,<br />
He gives me a roof, he feeds me food.<br />
<br />
Even though I doubt,<br />
You make the rocks cry out.<br />
Again and again you prove Your love<br />
to me, so unworthy,<br />
a child undeserving.<br />
<br />
Your forgiveness, love, and provision<br />
is life to my weary soul.<br />
It is obvious, You alone are in control.VirginiaA.Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00149091665768283411noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868666743870616228.post-51837114312088092922014-01-14T21:16:00.001-05:002014-01-14T21:16:18.937-05:00January 13 I could take you to the water,<br />
A rushing river, an overflowing well.<br />
I could offer you abundance beyond satisfaction,<br />
But I am not able to make you drink.<br />
<br />
I could feed you salt,<br />
But only as a last resort,<br />
For I would hate to bring you pain.<br />
However, sometimes a little saltiness<br />
Saves from a scorching spice.VirginiaA.Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00149091665768283411noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868666743870616228.post-63361064421987661252014-01-14T21:08:00.001-05:002014-01-14T21:08:23.496-05:00January 12 May I always respect my parents,<br />

It is so important not to miss that precious Word. If I do not write It down quickly, I will forget. All the time saying I won't.<br />
Word from God is priceless and must be captured. First in our hearts; then with pen and paper.

<b>The Freeing Fog </b> </div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I see the fog and say, "How beautiful!"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some may see it and wish it away, hoping for clear skies and bright sunlight.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What do I see in the fog others may not?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The fog is a cloud coming down to earth, heaven descending on the ground.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It blankets us, those residing on earth,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It fills the air with a beautiful mystery. I can feel the fog, it slows me down.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Though it clouds the vision, it clears the mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It hushes all creation, makes it safe and still outside.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And in the quiet beauty of nature- my mind can take flight.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The fog seems a thick barrier, but it's not.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It frees me.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I know, for in the fog I can soar.</div>

<br />
Our eyes are able to see and capture in our hearts, freeze in our minds the beauty that we see. And we are able to share that beauty, that moment with the world through photography. So the beauty is multiplied as it is shared, for the sharing brings smiles.VirginiaA.Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00149091665768283411noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868666743870616228.post-64590150258453010772014-01-04T12:36:00.004-05:002014-01-04T12:36:48.781-05:00January 1st With the New Year comes new opportunities, but also new challenges. Through all these joys and trials of the year, Lord, keep these desires and thoughts in the hearts of Your people, in me, forever, keep my heart loyal to You.

So this year one of my resolutions is to write something everyday. I decided to post them here. Each day I will write something new. It may be a short story, a poem (if I'm feeling really creative), a short saying, or maybe just a few sentences about something I learned in my personal Bible study. So here I go, writing something every day of the year.VirginiaA.Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00149091665768283411noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868666743870616228.post-79092766345628715932012-11-05T18:24:00.002-05:002012-11-05T18:24:43.168-05:00Election 2012 So the election is coming up and many, many people are unhappy with the present administration. Those who are dissatisfied with the President are looking forward to replacing him with Romney. So people are putting their hope in Romney. It's as if voter's are saying, "If Romney's elected, the country will be changed, better off. He's the one who can fix it." A certain verse comes to mind: Proverbs 21:1<br />
The king’s heart is like a stream of water directed by the LORD; he guides it wherever he pleases.<br />
Why, then, put your hope in a mere man instead of the One who hold's his heart?<br />

(By the way, for those of you who haven't realized <i>this</i> yet, we're in 2012.) Anyway, tomorrow is February 29th, a day that we only have every 4 years. What will you do with your extra day? Remember that today is a gift, that's why we call it the <b>present.</b><br />
So here's your challenge: fill your extra day with purpose and make it overflow with meaning.VirginiaA.Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00149091665768283411noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868666743870616228.post-59499941259484898002012-02-27T10:16:00.000-05:002012-02-27T10:16:06.172-05:00Powerful Monologue<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Q49BbfgJbto" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>VirginiaA.Hearthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00149091665768283411noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868666743870616228.post-9982606309892500432011-08-07T18:36:00.001-04:002011-08-07T18:36:49.176-04:00theProject<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">The project is simple, make someone smile.

How will we share the secret? Our messengers are little butterflies. Confused yet? It's simple we just write a little message on a paper butterfly and stick it somewhere to be seen.
