My mind needs something
else to spiral on. Not
my worries or my concerns or my fears. Focus
on the Word of God. Scripture memory

Lies and truth poem
I’m still going through that valley of addiction.
I can’t yet say I’m fully free,
but I see the path. I See the Light.
///
I see the lies and truth
I heard some truth growing up,
but I also heard a lot of lies.
like the lie that “pornography is normal”;
that “pornography is healthy”
that’s a lie.
“pornography is good for exploring”
that’s another line.
stripping away the lies isn’t
the same as choosing to believe truth.
Rest
Rest is hard. Rest is a weapon. Rest is a command.
Rest is not laziness. Rest only follows real effort and work.
rest
is restoration
rest is a command.
Rest is worship when done right.
rest is for our renewal.
///
rest is not
constant movement, rest is not
doing everything.
rest is a command.
It is not a suggestion.
I feeling
Discouragement, delay
God answers:
Deuteronomy 31 verse 2.
I look it up
“2 I am 120 years old, and I am no longer able to be your leader. And besides that, the Lord your God has told me that he won’t let me cross the Jordan River.”
I wonder how did Moses feel?
__
Discouragement, confusion
How did Moses feel?
He spoke with God like a friend
yet how did he
feel at this end of this life?
Purpose
Purpose alights upon my ship
it lands to lead me thus:
to follow Christ wherever He goes.
and I will trust him thus:
with my life and all I think I own
even beyond my last breath.
Though He kill me, yet I will trust Him
and offer my defense
God, that is true
God, that is true
I did not ask what I should do
I did not involve You in my plans
I did not place it in Your hands
I think to hold it all on my own
with my power I don’t want to hear You groan
under the weight of my burden
I know You are mighty, beyond compare
//
Your strength surpasses mine like a Tiger’s surpasses
a strand of hair
I do my part,
I bring what is needed,
I bring what I can
I place it in your hand.
Joy in obedience
The joy of obedience
not grudging resentful thing
the hunger grows
a hunger shows
the emptiness you feel.
The sacrifice you made
the Angels marvel at it
obedience to your word
a joy it will be fulfilled
to walk in your way
to follow your path
to do is you did
to do as you say
