My Job
My job has been to fight for the oppressed
No matter what the cause, I’m called to address.
Poetry and Ponderings by Shelly
The Seed
I know it feels you can’t go on
But Jesus says, “You will.”
Just run into His righteous arms
To rest and just be still.
Poetry and Ponderings by Shelly
Will You Go?
If a hurting soul is bedridden
Can Jesus send you there?
For in the hospital you might go
To be a light to share.
Poetry and Ponderings by Shelly
Perhaps
Perhaps I have not yet surrendered As much as I had thought. So that the quietness of heart Can hear the Master’s call. Perhaps my love is not as deep As it needs to be. Still unable to die

The Lame
There’s a thousand wonders
Traveling my mind
Thinking of hearts
Needing someone who’s kind.
Poetry and Ponderings by Shelly
The Journey With Jesus
There will be times when you want to stay, but God says, “Go.”
When you’d like to stand down from your God-given post.
Poetry and Ponderings by Shelly
The Single Dandelion
I saw a single dandelion
Sprouting from the ground.
Poetry and Ponderings by Shelly
Goodbye Comfort
The comfort zone shall now be gone Settle into God’s called home For there was more than meets the eye That He had planned for you and I. Every step is Heaven’s pace Do not covet another’s place Everything
Morning’s Glow
When sorrow comes in sheer surprise And suddenly a storm does rise Jesus still is at the helm Working good from Heaven’s realm. Rest, dear child, and deeply know I will carry it in tow Nothing is too hard
Poetry and Ponderings by Shelly
I Surrender
If in thy pain is another’s gain
Then use it, Lord, for Thee.
If in my sorrowing song does draw
A heart who is suffering.
