Simply shaken as I realize my feet are falling in on this foundation I built for myself.

There it is again i see that strength wilted under me as I pretend to stand on my own two feet.

His foundation looked so much better than mine and still I moved away.

How did he do it? With just spit and mud ever yet healing and strong His foundation astounding my imagination.

But walked away to build my own.

He even had my name engraved, I put my hand prints in before it was dry.

I crawl back and there I see it my place saved. By His grace even laying on His foundation I have more strength.

Thank you for my foundation my Lord my grace. Here I'll lay till you pull me up.

A year to date

This is as true to my life today as it was when I first put this up. With tears and much learning I am still growing.

Romans 8:1-8 (NIV)
1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
Oh there can't be a better time for prayer that first thing everyday.


Still fuzzy eyes from all the dreams, praying until reality is clear.

Lord consecrate me for you today. My attitude must be like you. Make me quick to listen slow to anger.

Let it be clear you are the only one I fear.

Amen

LORD Prepare Me

You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, 2 and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men1 awho will be able to teach others also. 3 Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. 5 An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 It is gthe hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. 7 Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.


LORD how can i be so weary so far from the front line? I have become such easy prey for the enemy. My calluses have fallen from my hands from lack of battle.Please LORD hold my hand back to the strength to hold the sword of truth, that the enemy will fall away in fear of your light in my eyes.

I praise you for your grace in discipline that leads to discipleship. Thank you for providing the words of Paul that I might learn today what Timothy learned yesterday.

Create me to be a trustworthy servant of your everlasting word. I say "I love you", I say "I respect you". Remind me that these are mere words that mean nothing without grace in genuine love of persevering action.

LORD I do love you.

Amen
