I will

mywords2228

Not fall on your sword because you want to make me unhappy too.
I will not listen to your words.
Because you seem to know it all
I will not blindly follow you through a storm I do not believe in just to feel like I fit in.
I will go down my path and sometimes leave it to say hi and see what else is out there.
But, this path that I am on is the only path I will stay on.
Until he detours me to the path that leads me to my final destination
Then I will see and hear and do what feels right for me.
For my life on this path is only as successful
as long as he allows it to be.

Am I

mywords2228

The one to fall for the foolishness

Because I don’t want to be alone.

Am I to worry about my chances of going down in life because I feel a little old.

Am I to work myself to death because they are losing people left and right.

Am I to make sacrifices in my life so others can be happy around me and I suffer for it.

Am I to give up before the real battle has even begun.

Am I to change what needs to change in order to make the things I need to happen actually happen.

Am I to pray on it and then sit by the side doubting it will happen.

No, I am to believe it will work out and take some steps to help make it happen.

So that I can say we did together for the Lord didn’t make me be lazy but yet hopefully at the same time.

It’s time to say yes I am to do this and let the others figure out their own plan.

Only

You can fill this empty space I’ve had since I could remember

at first I thought it could be filled by worldly things but nothing kept that space filled.

Until one day I knew not what to do next with the life I had made for myself from the choices I had made on my own.

So I gave my life to the lord and I was saved and everything I did or listened to felt heighten and the empty space inside of me that only he could fill was filled and overflowing.

Lord I

mywords2228

hope that one day I can make you truly proud of who I am and who I have yet to become, as you guide me on this path.

I want to say thank you and that I am grateful for things that I have been blessed with and thank you for the things I didn’t think I needed in my life.

The hope that shines inside of me is so bright and even when evil blows my way the light inside of me blocks out the things that I don’t need to hear.

I hope I will always know what’s right and what’s wrong and the spirit inside me will guide me away from the things that I don’t need to touch and let into my life.

The hope that my kindness will get to someone and maybe they will think twice before they react a certain way to someone who means no harm to them.

The hope that not only will I become better but others that trust and love you will continue to do better as well.

Daily Prompt: Commit

mywords2228

I commit to you not just today

but every moment of my life.

I owe you everything for you saved me

and you keep saving me.

I’m lost without you and I struggle with you but

that’s only because you want me to learn and do better.

And how can I grow if everything is easy and not complicated, You lift me up and committing to you comes easy to me now.

I’ve become someone because of you and my worth was defined before I opened my eyes and entered into this world.

I am who  I am supposed to be because of you and I won’t stop writing and believing because you fuel me when I can’t seem to function without you.

Getting by day by day without you on mind and without you in my heart is like living in this world but walking around like a zombie with no purpose or direction.

Always hungry for something to fill me up but it won’t happen because you are the reason I feel complete now.

No longer feeling lost looking for something or someone to fill up the emptiness inside of me only to be disappointed when the emptiness is still there and growing bigger.

And no amount of time is making it better and I grew completely clueless and hopeless and dramatic.

But, one day you helped me finally wake up and walk away from the life I thought was the right one.

So today I commit to you Lord and only you, for without you nothing else would really matter or hold an interest.

Write three lines inspired by the photo prompt (& give them a title if possible).

I Lift my hands up to you my lord as I praise you for all you have done for me, I want to thank you for the voice I found in me after all these years.

I want to reach out and know that one day I will get to hand your hand more than just a second but a life time.

I am here and so are you, you’re always with me through the thick and thin and I know that this year will be my year because of you and you alone.
