Familiar
I heard God today and He sounded a lot like me. Dallas, standing on a chair where I was dressing him, said, “I fall mommy.” I looked at him lovingly, smiled and said, “I’ve got you baby boy. I won’t let you fall. I’m right here you can lean on Mommy, hold on to me.” Dallas said, “okay Mommy.” As he reluctantly let go of the chair and put one hand on me to steady himself, he put the other arm though the shirt sleeve. The look on his face said, I’m scared, but he trusted me enough to let go of the chair he was standing and holding on to. It was time to put his other arm in the shirt and he said, “Oh I fall mommy.” Again, I looked at him and said, “I won’t let you fall. I will protect you. I love you. Hold on to mommy.” This time he said, “OK mommy.” as he bravely pushed his arm through the sleeve of the shirt, he gasped and said, “Oh, Mommy, Bubby not fall!”
I heard God today
Familiar and loving,
Proclaiming his promises
Over me as His glorious
Encouragement poured out
Upon me. Trust filled my cup,
As I let go of the familiar foundation
I held tightly to. As I began to
Go through the emotions of
Letting go, God took over.
He leads me and He guides me.
For He is the firm foundation
I now cling too. As I go through
The storms of life His Love,
Mercy, and Grace endures
And His forgiveness

Covers me like an umbrella.
Through the storm,
I may be battered and torn,
But my anchor holds and
When the storm has passed
His rainbow of peace falls on me.
Each time reminding me of the
Promises He proclaims,
Reminding me of the plans
He has for me.
Plans to prosper me,
And not to harm me.
Plans to give me
hope for the future.
I’m leaning into Him
and when trouble comes
I take heart, for he has
Overcome the world.
