Strength....(Culled from Allworship.com)

Yes Lord, it's me again
And like always, I'm in need
Though not for fame and fortune
My heart is without greed

I'm just weary from the burdens
And the strength I seem to lack
I'm not asking for a lighter load,
Lord I just need a stronger back

There are times when the road gets rough
And it's hard to carry on
When rest always seems out of reach
And all but faith is gone

Make my mind think clearly
And use the wisdom it has acquired
Don't let decisions come in haste
When my body becomes tired

My feet always seem smaller
Than the shoes I need to fill
And that's when I still need you, Lord
And know I always will

Alone in weakness I would falter
But if you'll walk by my side
I can persevere in troubled times
And within your strength abide

When my knees start to tremble
And I fear that I may fall
I bow my head and close my eyes
And on you Lord I call
And I pray that you'll walk with me
As I strive along my way
To give me strength when I am weak
And courage when I'm afraid

No, I don't want a lighter load
When this weight is all I've known
All I ask for in times like these
Is the strength to carry on

Waiting; AN EXERCISE IN GROWTH

  Waiting: a journey in growth Waiting is not a passive hole in the road where life simply stalls; it is a classroom with no fixed syllabus, a workshop where the raw materials of our character are shaped by time, friction, and faith.  We live in an age that measures success by speed, yet some of the most important things—trust, mastery, reconciliation, healing—refuse to be rushed. If you have ever felt the itch to move faster, to force an outcome because the silence feels like failure, you are in good company.  The question is not whether you will wait; the question is what the waiting will make of you. Consider the young teacher who spends years building trust with a class before a single breakthrough appears; the promotion she longs for is not only about competence but about the quiet credibility earned through consistent presence.  Think of the immigrant who waits months, sometimes years, for paperwork and permission, learning humility and resilience in the limina...

THE END: Lately, I've been thinking about "the End".... What about it? What exactly does it mean? "The End"....as in, there's nothing left again... Is it possible that when we get to that bit there'll be an alternative? Or maybe it just means what it means, PERIOD. Nothing after, no alternative. End. When God was creating the earth and the universe, did He have the end in mind? Was it part of His plan or is it the product of man's folly? I don't know.... I guess only the Most High can fully answer that bit of my questioning. Come to think of it, what will the end be like for me and mine? What about you? Will it be sudden or sequential? What are the plans for any eventuality? Yeah, where am I going with all these questions? I'm asking the same thing.... The scriptures talk about the concept of an end to everything... Now some of us might want to look at it differently But permit me to stick by it; how would we fare when it...
