Process

tasks I’m given.

Consistency has been a problem.

I’ve been dragged down in the spirit

and I’ve let myself be that way

because I haven’t let myself be renewed.

I rely on my own strength

the things I know I’m supposed to do,

I fail to do

but I didn’t know better.

I didn’t know how to change

and I’m learning the skill of doing better.

Wobbly first steps

we do not learn to walk in a day

we do not learn to crawl in an hour.

It is a process

and I’ve begun mine

learning skills

to be with people to know your name

to know your problems to understand the game,

this takes

such

bandwidth

so much of my brain

I don’t know how to juggle it

and yet remain the same.

//

I lean on You My God.

You are my strength and shield

You will hold me up in Your right hand

and with You, I refuse to yield.

alone I crumble,

I fold in two

with You I am victorious

//

though, I really don’t know what to do.

I recognize your faces

I am learning your names

I somewhat remember your coffee order

but I’m terrible at the games of cat and mouse and hello how are you?

to socialize and small talk

to laugh and joke and be friendly.

By myself, It makes me want to choke

But I am not alone, for I have You

for support

developing strength in weakness

that Your glory will shine forth.
