The Story

Once upon a time…
The story’s been told from ancient times, it never gets boring and never gets old…
Maybe you’ve heard it but didn’t understand, it’s pretty simple, let me begin…
Before existence there was a void, a place we’ve never seen…
Spirit came blowing the wind. He spoke and everything changed, new beginning, new dream…
Over the face of many waters in darkness it is told, Spirit formed the land he looked and behold!
Hurling stars into place, sky, land and sea, earth and space…
Trees and mountains and birds and creatures in the deep…
The artist was working all these things he’d keep, and it was good!
This story is more exotic, more thrilling than I can tell,
There was the first of mornings light and then night fell…
Toiling the soil…with his hands in the mud…yielding the fruit was a fresh new bud…
There in the dirt a child of God was born…
Breath brought forth a living, breathing soul…
The story is told…
Life had begun! God had made a son…

4 This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, 5 before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; 6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Genesis 2:4-7 New King James Version

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
