by Natalie Ledford
What’s it like to be
four men standing
When once
there were three
In the midst of the fire
Or what should be
Our clothing not singed
Our fetters all gone
Yes, the fire was hot
Killed the guards on the spot
But we were alive
While they were not
Our God had come through
He really did care
He honored our valor
He proved it there
We knew we must trust Him
No matter what
And entered the fire
Rather than bow
Our prospects seemed dim
Yet we had hope
Our God was worth
Forsaking our life
And He came through
He honored our faith
Stepped in among us
And stood face to face
When he entered
The furnace became
A most Holy place
Our testing had ended
We met God there
Having grown up in the Pacific Northwest, Natalie has a fierce independence and wild adventurous heart. Nat has always been a hands-on person with a love for life, beauty and celebration. She has a degree in horticulture and training in music, carpentry, interior design, floral design and life coaching. Natalie spent time as an intern at a church and went on several ministry trips to places like the Philippines, Japan and India. She was involved heavily in music over the years with several orchestras, choirs and worship groups. She has also dabbled in many things including beekeeping, welding, machinery operation, large quantity cooking and gardening. She loves learning and trying new things. She thrives by being in the outdoors and enjoys making music with friends, preparing and eating good food, contemplation and communing with God through prayer, worship, dance, and journaling, or as she calls it, musing. Right now she is writing music and poetry and is in the early stages of writing a book. She hopes to be healed so she can go on to do many more things…travel, beekeeping, starting a farm and training others in practical ways to become their best selves with life skills and inner freedom.
