Standing between two

years… looking back at faithfulness…

grabbing the hand of

My God as I step into

2016… a new

year, a new journey

but He has already

been there, so He knows the way

He knows all I need

Restless Heart

late afternoon sun

beckons my restless heart to 

aimlessly wander

as a dragonfly flutters

over golden water

I trust You

yet my fearful heart

betrays that trust

wanting yet another

sign… to confirm

its really YOU

Oh, will You be angry?

No!

Really?

Really!

But I don’t understand

I love you and I am patient

I want your fledgling faith

to grow into belief.

But I can’t see You

I can’t feel You

What if I am wrong?

Is that so bad?

YES!

Why?

Well.. I need to be right

Why?

I don’t want to disappoint You

You won’t because your heart is right

Yes but…

No buts… I won’t let you go

I’m watching over your journey

But what if I screw up?

Then we will go back and try again

But I want to be right the first time

Sweetheart… remembers perfection is a mask…

unattainable!!  You’ll never learn if you always

get it right the first time

Ok, but….

NO buts!

All I am asking you to do is

TRUST ME…trust Me to lead you

and guide you.

 I have my hand on you so you won’t

stumble far.

This is so hard for one who needs to be right.

Yep!... it’s all about how you want people to

See you- perfect

Ouch, that hurts!!

Yes but it is the truth

Ok then….I need to surrender my faulty thinking, right?

Yep :)

Demolish

destroying

every

minute and

outstanding

lie and

insidious

strong

hold
