I always say
But do I do?
From the bottom of my heart
I want to be true to You

Tangled webs are what we weave
Naturally
Like rainfall in the Amazon
Sunshine in the Sahara
Thirsty for more of You
But do I even spend time to find the Living Water?
Five minutes?
A few seconds?
Staying in Your presence
Finding the eleven faces of You
Or discovering more
Like the lost city of Atlantis
Am I diving?
Plunging deep below the surface

But I
I do not spend time
It’s time for me to finally wake up

Reflections
Self-examinations
Made me realize that I can’t manage the test of life
Living with you is not the main focus
Living through the motions
Like a boat drifting with the currents of the sea

I need to live my life
Not in the mindset of a fairy tale
Pretending all will be well
I need to be sure I’m on the right path
I need to be secure
Fastened
When the wind ceases to comb my hair
I don’t need to try and guess what my next moves are
Coming to dumb conclusions
I need You more

It’s time to be sober
Vigilant
Do the work He has entrusted to me
Not be laid back
Not in a spiritual jacuzzi
Rest comes later
Work is now
God first
I stand behind
I stand
Not asleep
Waking up from this fairy tale
