Be Thou my Vision

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.


Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.


Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.


Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.


High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.


I'm kind of going through some stuff with God right now. I had my plans for next year which I thought were all good, and suddenly I feel like the grounds been taken out from under me and I need to make a lot of changes in my plans, but I still don't know what exactly that looks like, so yeah.

Sailing is fun. A little crazy still in this never ending earthquake, but it's fun. It sure makes me sleepy though.

Sorry things feel so uncertain. Hope things become more clear really soon. One thing's the same at least...I LOVE YOU!!! Hugs.
