"Oh God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land...." Psalms 63:1, King James Version While walking in the early mornings, I sought the face of God. I needed to know his direction for my life. I searched for it through various things, thinking I would find it; I did not. It was not until I began to read, and meditate on his Word, that I found it. As I set aside time for him each morning, he met me. He was waiting on me. The things he revealed to me are reflected in my poetry.
