Lifted Up
Lifted Up
Feeling discouraged and blue,
can't get up on my own. Then I remember to pray,
to praise; the darkness leaves as light enters my
mind and soul. God's spirit finds its way in to my
heart, and gladness, joy take control.
Musical laughter in my life, as angels rejoice for
the renewing received.
God brings light, not dark to the hungry, searching
mind. Depression, despair must go as His glory
fills my soul.

Raised in Sweet Home, Orgon, where I lived untill I was 18. Joined the Marine Corps and left for Boot camp December, 1974. Shortly after my youngest son was born, I enlisted in the Army Reserve (1985). I was a cook and NCOIC of food service with a hospital unit that was activated for Desert Sheld/Storm. I've now lived in Corvallis, OR for about 2 years. I had previously lived here from 1983 to 1995. The people here and wonderful friends, and love God.
