Sometimes it seems that life is at a standstill
That everything I want the most is within my reach
But in my soul I know that if I touch it too soon, before it is time,
Then like sand, it will slip through my fingers and I will be forced into waiting again. There are things I’ve yet to do before I will be ready for my destiny. I await it, though, with bated breath.
So many people cross my path every day in one capacity or another
Some familiar faces and others strangers, but the contact is there, even if only for one moment. A word of encouragement or a nod and smile is so simple and yet … Did I do it, I’m not sure, but still, I am accountable for what I have or haven’t done because that is what moves inside me.
An opportunity for all I hope for presents out of nowhere, as if from the air
And words escape me as my mind races forward, struggling
Trying to grasp the answer that I know is there before me and then He moves
They are His words, not mine, that I want to convey for mine are empty and weak on their own and this, after all, is what He had planned for me.
What I do, be it helpful or hurtful will continue to move forward
Touching others who had no idea one person could bring such joy or sorrow
I underestimate God’s reach because I underestimate my own, which has nothing to do with anything and everything to do with where I want to go which is where He wants me to go. It’s a choice, it always has been and always will be.
He knows what He’s doing although I often question Him
I suppose the humanness of myself cannot simply take a gift as a gift but must question it and examine it to see if it can be trusted, not having faith enough to just take it for what it is. But at the end of the day when I give thanks for my blessings I remember to thank Him for the day, irregardless of what it brought, because it was for His glory, after all.
The journey I am on changes daily
As I surrender all I am to my King
But the journey doesn’t end when I close my eyes to sleep
The difference that I’ve made in His name, be it good or bad, encouraging, discouraging or indifferent keeps rolling on …
Romans 12:1 (my favorite chapter) … I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
~ read this verse, search your heart and soul … if you are satisfied, then carry on … if you are left wanting, seek Him … He’ll light the darkness… I read it often and each time, i’m either closer or further from Him … we are not perfect and Jesus, irrelevant of His perfectness, understands that. God bless and keep you all … not everyone believes, but there is no harm in praying … no harm at all …
Oh Lord Jesus, I pray that someone, somewhere for reasons that only You know has been uplifted by You through me this day … Though there is much I would like to have, there is nothing I can ask for that would bless me more abundantly. Amen.
A Photographer's Heart 
As I sit here and read this and the sun is rising, I am reminded just how precious our time here on earth is. Though others try to tear us down, we must keep our head high and feet planted on God’s promise that He will never leave us or forsake us even in our darkest hours. I am His and He is mine. Let us be careful not to judge people until we have walked with them on their journey. Remember that everyone has a story if we would just take time to listen and understand. Love ya
