The Tiny Rosebud

It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of GOD's design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
GOD opens this flower so sweetly,
When in my hands they fade and die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of GOD's design,
Then how can I think I have wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?

So I'll trust in Him for His leading
Each moment of every day.
I will look to him for His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way.

The pathway that lies before me,
Only my Heavenly Father knows.
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.

I am forever yours...




"If my heart is overwhelmed and I cannot hear your voice                               I hold onto what is true, though I cannot see        
If the storms of life they come, and the road ahead gets steep        
I will lift these hands in faith, I will believe     
I remind myself of all that you’ve done"

So this is my first blog... I figured I should start now because I'll hopefully blog a lot while I'm in Brazil. My life has been pretty crazy lately, but I'm trusting in the Lord to bring me through everything and guide me where I should go. I know He has a plan. The song Love Came Down pretty much describes how I've felt lately. Even though I don't always know what God's answer is, I'm trying to cling on to his truth and trust Him. 

Tchau for now.... Britt
