He leads,
and whatever happens
Happens.
It’s not for me He
opens doors.
I am His hands and feet, a part of His body.
I pray I accept this tomorrow, too.

Make these chains less than dust.
May these walls be Rubble soon

the devil has claimed this room he
thinks it’s his.
he thinks
it’s his way in
the gap is
sealed
it’s being cleansed.
Being scrubbed in the blood of the lamb
the chains that hold me down will be less than rubble soon
I sometimes think I imagine
I have a small taste of Christ
to wait in faith
to be eager for the wedding
but to have a bride unsure
if she is unsure, it will not happen
but I have faith that it will.
My Father in Heaven has said it

You can lead a horse to water but you cannot
make them drink.
They must be willing and
seek on their own, in their own way
in their own time.
All you can do is be there
ready to give them the water

To be in the marketplace I don’t know how
I do not at this moment truly understand
every cent and dollar is a gift
but things do not come for free. Not without effort
not striving, but trying
and what is in my heart? My why?
I do things that matter to God. This matters to me. It shapes the impact
I don’t know how to be in the marketplace and not
make a fool of myself.
To follow my King
though death and evil stalk me
to follow my King
through darkness and fear and doubt
to follow my King
through paths of difficulty and pain
to follow my King
He’s promised presents beyond His presence – which alone is amazing.
To those who’ll stick to it through the end,
to follow my King
Joy, and Life and Reward
