I have never been much for writing, even in college I would have my mom proof read my papers before I turned them in. However, God put these words, this prayer, on my heart one day while I was doing some soul searching and about 2 weeks later God presented me with the World Race. I knew then that God had answered my prayers. I wasn't until I had these words written on paper that I began to understand that all the struggles I had, and all the running away from God I had done was all part of His plan to mold my heart for His Kingdom.
I'm a million miles from yesterday,
On a train bound for no where.
Lost in translation of God's plan
Frantically looking for my worth.
Rummaging through material wants
Yet still an emptiness haunts.
I feel desire light beneath my bones
Taunting me with greatness
I ponder on turning around.
But I know salvation is forward
In a place where I can live
Extravagantly poor in the presence
Of God's great scheme
I was scared to share these words with others because I knew how bad all my other attempts at writing had gone but I finally showed it to my mom and she asked me who wrote it. I slowly replied that I had because I figured she thought it was terrible. Her response was no you didn't but once I convinced her that it was mine it brought tears to her eyes and she told me that she needed a copy so with a little help from my sister in law I gave it to my parents for Christmas.
