I am going to begin compiling some of my favorite personal writings I've written through the years starting with one of my most recent. My hope is that I spark a new found courage and hope in the lives of those who read that can identity in this journey called "LIFE". Also, that I myself am reminded of the personal journey I've traveled, where I'm going, and of the blessed One who makes it all worthwhile. Blessings! -Hannah G.

You've never given up on me
You just keep chasing after me
And when you catch me, You tell me You love me over and over again
You'll never stop... no.
You'll never quit chasing my soul, making me whole, from the inside out
You see my filth within; the fear, hate, confusion & sin
And yet instead of turning Your back on me
You open up Your heart and extend Your hand
You see the whole picture
You peer through the window of my soul
The longing deep inside moves Your heart to respond.
You want nothing more than to pull me from my ashes
To see me seated with princes
For me to dance upon my chains of entanglement; all the injustice, all of the pain
Moving past the former realities
Onto tomorrow's bettered remedies...
Where peace and safety are found.
Where the cage within is unlocked
And out flows rivers of water that sustain my heart and soul
Giving a glimpse of a new and improved me.
All things are made new...
All things are restored
So that I can taste and see You truly ARE good.
That You died to set me free.
Free from the Enemy both within and without.
My eyes are opened
The truth has been revealed.
I claim it for my own today, I turn it all around.
I choose to say "Yes" to You.
I choose to go low.
Come and fill this empty heart, Lord
Come and make me whole.
No more fragments, no more mistakes.
I want to be known as Yours for all of my days.
Come and blow upon my garden.
Let me bear much fruit.
Apart from You I can do nothing.
Apart from You I'll wither and fade into the sands of time, into the shade.
Shine Your light within, breathe life into my skin
And let this journey I'm on lead me closer to You.
