Finding God’s Presence ~ All We Are is Dust in The Wind. Really?
“All we are is dust in the wind …”
The lyrics drifted through my mind as the four-part harmony rose and fell into beautiful melody. All afternoon the tune from my teenage years replayed in my thoughts.
I decided to find it on youtube and explore the lyrics. Never before had I realized what a song of hopelessness Dust in The Wind is!
I began to pray and ask the Lord why He had drawn me to this song, especially in the midst of very difficult, chaotic days — why point me to hopelessness?
But then I realized something profound and I can’t wait to share it with you.

A Prayer When You Want to Climb Out of the Pit
Lord, thank You for hearing us when we cry out to You. Your mercy is great; Your love amazing. We praise You Lord for You alone are worthy of our praise. You are a great God. Thank You for calling us Your own.
Each day comes with its own challenges and sometimes the challenges come to us like rapid fire. And sometimes we don’t dodge quick enough and we get hit, knocked to our knees, face in the sand.
And we don’t like it.
In fact, we get tired in the fight.

A Prayer When You Don’t Know Which Way to Go
Lord, You are my way, my truth, my life. You Are.
The closer I walk with You, the easier I find my way because my eyes are opened to see You leading, my heart is awakened to recognize You, and my ears are opened to hear You saying, “This is the way, walk in it.” Thank You, Lord
You make it sound so simple in Your instruction, and I suppose it is, but for us it gets muddy and complicated quite easily!
Why is that Lord?

Finding God’s Presence ~ Scars Reveal Deep Pain Healed by God’s Grace
The quiet mountain backroad provided safe adventure for skateboarders — my grandson included. No traffic. Perfect curves. Gentle slopes. And a great hill near the end of the road where speed increased as the hill lengthened.
Jamison worked his skateboard magic along this road often.
One day the magic was interrupted.
Nearing the end of the big hill, Jamison encountered gravel that had washed from a driveway during a recent rain. He didn’t anticipate the hazard and wiped out at full speed. Flesh careened across gravel and pavement. Knees, belly, and face displayed evidence of the angry encounter.
He gradually healed, but the scars remain.
And the scars tell his story, especially the part where he picked himself up, overcame his fear, and conquered that hill once again.
