Keep Going

 

When absolutely nothing goes as planned

Yet supply always meets demand

 

On Christ’s solid rock I will continue to stand                                                             

Knowing that all other ground is sinking sand.

 

Having nothing, yet being totally satisfied

Praying “Lord God don’t let my fragmented heart become galvanized”

 

Gaining access where others in my shoes have been totally denied

Laughing from the depths of my belly in areas where I formally ugly cried.

 

Feelings of rejection and fear not completely gone

yet they subsidize

I failed, I tried, I failed, I tried.

 

I was ostracized, yet I still testified

They lied, I cried

I lived but, my sin died.

 

I was falsely accused

yet I never confirmed nor denied.

Prayed daily for God to fight my battles

Stumbled, pled the blood of Jesus and got back into an anointed stride.

 

Kept Loving, Kept Reaping so inevitably I Kept Sowing

When the waters got choppy, Jesus spoke to my storms and I kept rowing.

 

I KEPT GOIN

 

Killed my pride

and let all that wasn’t tethered to my Father, my family or my destiny fall to the wayside.

I chose Jesus invited him to my drivers side

and FINALLY I am enjoying my life’s beautiful unpredictable ride.
