BLOG ENTRY TWO- Keep Moving On

Lesson1: Sometimes one of the hardest things to do is to move on in the midst of defeat. Sometimes we get distracted in the midst of the now, but I have come to find that there is nothing too hard for God all in his perfect timing.

Everything that happens is for a reason. Storms and then happiness are all in life’s seasons.

 “For I know the plans I have for you, “declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

 

Keep Moving On

Me:

Lord, I been sitting here alone

Cried most of the day

Thinking of the hours

I can’t repay

 

Thinking of the minutes

That I let slip by

Thinking of the seconds

That were ALL a lie

 

My story, my past

I can’t put to rest

A life of trials, temptations, and

Never ending test

 

 

How I made it?

I wonder how…

Shouldn’t I be dead or insane by now?

 

 

God’s Response:

Baby girl,

These are just the things that came to make you strong

When you felt like you couldn’t make it

I was there all along…

 

How in your heart

You thought all hope was gone

But I woke you up the next day

Provided you with grace

To keep you strong

 

You kept going

Seven years later

Blood still flowing

 

I have made you

The young lady you are

And my love for you will continue to soar

You wondered why I took away

The guy you once loved

You just knew he was sent from above

In your eyes he was flawless, faultless, and knew what to say

Buy you had no idea

That in his heart deceitfulness and trickery lay

And when he cheated

You were hurt

Blinded by infatuation

Feeling sorry for yourself

Thinking you were less

Girl, know you are my anointed and blessed

 

But your answer was revealed with time

Couldn’t you see

My favor was upon you

And I’m still molding you

To be all I want you be

 

 

 

Me talking to God:

I understand…

I can’t change my past

But my present and future isn’t denied

Never taking anything for granite

In the midst of my pride

Wanting to do better

After each mistake

Saying despite the odds

“I will be great.”

I begged and pleaded to you

For another chance

My prayers were answered

In the midst of my test

…I’m alive…

Still breathing…

So let it all go

Simply keep my head up

Do my best

No worries because God

I know you will do the rest!
