CARPE DIEM

After everything has been laid so nicely down.
Your heart completely surrendered to "NO."
And you, comforted by it.
Suddenly the dam bursts wide to "YES."
And you know that everything is about to change.
The Stammering Moses.
Not eloquent of speech.
A whole life constricted and strangled by fear.
And you about to stare it down.
Your friend Jesus will be glorified in His strength.
Because everyone knows that you are weak.
Thank God!
There will never be another vague entry like this.
And all that you do will point to Him.
(If you don't first faint.)
Oh, LORD, let's have it Your Way.

TODAY, Jesus,  TODAY,

Bernadette

  1. "A whole life constricted and strangled by fear. And you about to stare it down." I know that strangled life and I know that hard, hard choice to stare it down. Praying for strength to walk whatever road He's opening up for you. One step at a time, my friend. Just one step at a time.
