Women Celebrate 2011
Found Poetry
Compiled by Mary Valentyn Pribbenow
the Bridegroom is coming
I love Him…He loves me!
I love you Lord and I lift my voice…let it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear
arise, my beloved and come
we've got the nuns in the house
a selection process:
-God chose the bride
-God paid a dowry price for the bride
-Jesus gave His pledge and His gift to His bride
-the Church is now, at this very moment, espoused to Jesus
-the Bridegroom cometh!
-Jesus will take His bride to His Father's house
-the marriage of the Lamb will then be celebrated
every woman I've met is extraordinary
Gods' quest
it all began with the incomprehensible love of God
I dreamed you as I molded Adam from the mud
I saw you wet from the womb and I loved you then
big bang theory
God made a covenant with all creation
you will be my people and I will be your God
God is on a quest, searching always for us
bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh
I will never violate my covenant
we all share in the priesthood of Christ
iIn Africa, people come early because they want the front seat
covenant people are Kingdom people
…I have called you and you are mine
everything is sacred
God - all in all
the kingdom of this world belongs to God and His Christ
it's gift, it's all gift
as a bride adorned for her husband
Christ coming in history, mystery, majesty
God wants to be united with us
be quiet…
…be still…
…He's there beside us
we are weaving a wedding gown as the Church
we are one…Christ's beloved
we must prepare ourselves by the righteous deeds of the saints
…the quest of all humanity…a universe that will become God's dancing partner at the wedding feast
we will be one…
we will be known as lovers…
as brides of Christ
love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, with all your strength
this retreat is gettin' more Baptist all the time
winter, winter, winter…road under construction
they gave me a shoehorn
she was excited to see pitiful me
not perfection
God created us and loves us just the way we are
When was the last time you felt beautiful?
elbow, elbow, wrist, wrist,
wipe a tear and blow a kiss
you are a beautiful person…and I like you
you're His favorite
I'm glad God chose you to be here
God knows you
you can't hide from Him
your name is a tattoo on Him
in Your book, everything about me is all ready written down
see yourself through your Father's eyes
see others with our Father's eyes
forgiven, loved and cherished by our Father who created us
what happens at the Osthoff stays at the Osthoff
cherish the people God puts in your path
eat everything!
PRAY LARGE!
good morning Lord, thank you for this day, so far, so good
…know that you are supposed to be right here, right now
we pray
by 2016 we should know our way around the place
spread the news and keep women celebrating for the next ten years
make it rain
people lift you up on the wings of prayer
may the precious blood of Christ flow through me
she's in remission!
what would you let go of in order to feel really good right now?
this weekend is about really celebrating womanhood
when one suffers, all suffer
when one celebrates in joy, we all celebrate in joy
there is no moment in your personal hell that Christ has not walked before you
you do not walk alone
…servants of God's mystery
…glorious image of Christ
the heart, unlike the body, is never completely born
lady, you're about 70 years too late for that!
tears are the language of the soul
it is not believing in Christ that matters, it is becoming like Christ
brokenness is both a journey and a destination
get down off the cross 'cuz someone else needs the wood
if you worry, why pray?
if you pray, why worry?
all we have to do is be
may God look kindly on your light, your love and your life, child of my heart
good morning Lord; good Lord, it's morning!!
why won't Jesus give Mary her hat back?
"send down a pinch"
I'm glad to see you in church
I have no idea why women in the 50's thought road kill was a fashion statement…
they taught me unconditional love, beauty in the Lord, fear of the Lord
you are your Father's child…spread that joy in the world
oh, I've been waitin' for you…
you are some of the best prayers I know
I asked God to use me for His good
when is July 8?
I felt God's hand on my hands…
…you cannot lose My love
be perfect…as your heavenly Father is perfect
I think I can be compassionate…
maybe I'll go along with Matthew and Luke and try to follow Jesus
God is irresponsible in His giving
…no strings attached
He's turning our life right side up
judgment is not condemnation, it is reconciliation and restoration
if we believe the Bridegroom, the risk is not too great…
...we will not fail
the way of compassion is the way of God
the great Feast
…the consummation of the covenant You have made with your people
how beautiful
I am free to enter in
the King is here
behold, the Lamb of God
