God gives us manna from heaven
And water from the Rock,
Divides asunder our Red Seas,
And guides us as a flock.
But often though we soon forget
When trials come again.
We fail to praise Him as we should.
We grumble and complain.
When He leads us through the desert,
We need to understand
There are lessons He will teach us
As He guides us by His hand.
The easy way is not the best.
God sees the long-range view,
And He wants to teach us patience
And perseverance, too.
So when the trials come our way,
On wings of praise just soar.
Remember, Jehovah-Jireh
Will guide us through once more.

- I was born in the naval port of Norfolk, Virginia, the daughter of a US Navy Master Chief. With the exception of 1 year living in Boston, Mass.,and two years in Hanau, Germany, I have lived in the historic state of Virginia all my life. I now reside in the beautiful Roanoke Valley. Though raised in a Christian home, I was in my early 20’s before making a commitment of my life to Christ. Since then I have spent many years in full-time ministry. I am currently employed as an accountant with a Christian child care center in Roanoke and also serve as the Office Manager and Scheduling Coordinator for singer and songwriter Mary Rice Hopkins who resides in California.
