In His presence I know there is joy beyond all measure,
And at His feet sweet peace of mind can still be found.
For when we have a need He is still the answer,
Reach out and claim it for we are standing on holy ground.
And at His feet sweet peace of mind can still be found.
For when we have a need He is still the answer,
Reach out and claim it for we are standing on holy ground.
We are standing on holy ground,
For I know that there are angels all around.
Let us praise Jesus now,
For we are standing in His presence on holy ground,

I look away from the keys, this instrument of writing that God made holy ground. Lately the words are stuck, thousands of words emptied into the trash, half-worked-out ideas filling discarded notebooks. I've been in the backside of the desert studying.
"My people are suffering," God said. "Babies are killed, children are abused, and teens are mixed up in satanic endeavors. Marriages are crumbling and euthanasia is shadowing seniors. I want to bring them out of their oppression into the land of encouragement -- a place where the promises of my Word flow freely, the Joy of the Lord strengthens, and the anticipation of Heaven will shine."
My "Who am I" barely leaves my mouth until I am assured, "I will be with you." Yet, I am not done protesting. "Who will I say you are? It is with the "I am that I am" -- the reminder that God has been and always will be -- that I embrace the task. With His "I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."
And so I sit, feeling the yoke of God's appointment; knowing that His yoke is easy -- that it is light. Knowing that God will move these fingers once again. I'm trembling with anticipation, and want nothing more than to sit with you under the sheltering tree, to speak grace, enfolding my words in a blanket of the Holy Spirit's comfort, urging you to rest in the SONshine of God's peace.
Let's join hands and dance shoeless around the Sheltering Tree -- claiming our holy ground!

Wow, that's a strong calling you've got on your life, Pamela. I'm sure you're equipped to do so much more than you'd have ever dreamed and God's going to open big doors for your ministry!
I love that song "Holy Ground" that you quoted from at the beginning of this post :D
Hi Pamela, your blog gives me so much encouragement! I can not comment from my phone for whatever silly technically reason and so here I am trying to catch up a bit with you. You are a blessing and joy to know. Thank you. Blessings, Anne

May the words come to you. Worry less about exactly what you say and speak from the heart as you have done. It will come. You can do all things through Him.
That is a beautiful song! Love people. Speak the truth. God will give you the words and guide you.

Beautiful, Pamela. Our holy ground never changes, regardless of any shaky ground around us. I join you in resting under that tree: "to speak grace, enfolding my words in a blanket of the Holy Spirit's comfort, urging you to rest in the SONshine of God's peace."
