"the light"

song lyrics by kassidy mae
3.9.2010






you may see the darkness all around you, you may think there is no way to survive, but you are wrong.
just lift that blindfold off your eyes
if you do, you will see the light
then you will be warm, you will never starve, you will never thirst
you will never be the person you used to be
GOD will reach out to you with open arms
he will hold you tight, he will help you help others to reach him too.
praise GOD for this glorious freedom!!!!
this may seem impossible, but you can do it!!!
it will be hard, but it is worth it.

living flame of LOVE

all consuming fire, you're our hearts desire. living flame of LOVE, come baptize us. let us fall more in LOVE with you. we want to know how high, how deep, how wide is- LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

the divine dress

a single woman raising two children, ive learned to depend on God for just about everything. how to parent, what to eat, how to arrange the furniture, what to wear, what to buy...with that said,i was out shopping one day & came across a dress that had my daughters name written all over it!! i held it out in front of me, looked at it & smiled as i imagined my little kassidy prancing around in this beautiful dress. i folded the dress over my arm and started to walk around the store looking for what else i needed. as i meandered through the store God kept nudging me to put the dress back. of course i tried reasoning with the Lord, "but God i have enough money to buy the dress, and Lord kassidy needs new clothes." but God kept insisting to put the dress back. so...i took the dress back & hung it back up on the rack, i paused for a moment and looked up at the dress with disappointment and then walked away.a week later kassidy had a birthday celebration at her nanas house. when she came home she was excited to show me what she got for her birthday. she started taking her presents out of the bag one at a time. "and look at this mom!! it is the most beautiful dress ever!!!", she said excitedly as she pulled "the dress" from the bag!! she held it out in front of her as though she was wearing it and smiled brightly at me. my eyes teared up and i smiled back at her. "praise God!", i said enthusiastically!! what a wonderful father she has, i thought.
