Along The Way

I wrote this when I was struggling between my old lifestyle and the call God put on my heart.

I go off-thinking I am moving away from God. I begin to seek old pleasures only to find no pleasure in them. I find myself in familier places noticing things I never noticed before, like; hurting people and actions that appear innocent enough, but knowing they are destructive. Consequences scream loudly at me even before I do anything wrong.

I lay awake doubting myself-disgruntle at my actions. Wondering why I continue to seek something I know is worthless.

Then I look up. I praise God and find strength I didn’t know was there-My journey was shorter this time-I am strengthened in my return. My heart leaps!
