Hard times and thankful prayer.

Okay, so life has been quite the trip this last week or so, but now I have to say that I think God has been there the entire time...funny how that happens, isn't it?

Anyway, with all that drama that's been going on, I've really come to appreciate the little time that I have where I can just unload to and upload from God. Kinda like now! Hahahah. Okay, so the purpose of this blog is simple: To share a prayer that I wrote that may or may not help you, but it has helped me. I wrote this a few months ago while spending a weekend in Big Bear away from civilization and it really does help me put into perspective my struggles and how I've come through them and grown and become who God wants me to be (so now I can be joyful in my sorrow).

So without further adu:

I thank you, God for this time away;
It truly is a gorgeous day.

I've been struggling, Lord for quite some time,
Trying to find this "place of mine."

Each day I live, each day I grow.
Each waking moment becomes so slow.

I'm so confused by what's said and done,
I'm not so sure if it's "good and fun."

Please show me, God where I need to be;
More than just under this tree.

Prepare my heart for what's ahead,
Let my spirit feel like it's been fed.

I pray you show me what to do,
Before I wake up and go back to school.

Amen

If you happen not to be in school or teach or whatever, you can insert the following instead of the last stanza if you like the whole rhyming prayer/poem thing: "I pray you help me get through this mirk, Before I wake up and go back to work." Enjoy and lates!

A!
