Gratitude

I've lived most of my life inside my head. And it's far from true living and distant from the promise of life to the full. I got out of bed today sore and unwilling. Before I managed to shower, I asked the Lord to free me from despair. In Jesus' Name, I claimed victory and trusted in the Almighty. Like the gray clouds dispersed by the emerging light, my resolve to live cleared my head. As I sit now and work on exposing my thoughts, I will honor the Lord for His work and thank the husband who got me out of bed today and took me to work beating traffic and tardiness.

Today is a reminder that in life its the small acts of commitment that matter the most. They can lead us (or sometimes push us) to the right path. Not to the grand and spectacular life we mostly daydream about but towards truth and sacrifice. Truth in all things that work for good. And goodness that flourish in every sacrifice both for the taker and the giver. My sacrifice today is a broken spirit and the strength of my weary bones is gratitude.

My Life is Not My Own


I am crushed and pressed
My heart heavy in my chest
Too much demands I'm carrying
Within I am tired and bleeding

I want to own my life and time
Take full control, I whine
I got trapped with responsibilities
Burdened & out of possibilities

I cried to the Lord for help
And sought the Holy Spirit
He took me by the hand
On a rock He made me stand

I am a slave to my Lord
To my Master I am yoked
My life is not my own
Obedience is my song
