too much for me

too many files
too many incidents
too many emails
too many folders
too many meetings
too many requests
too many tasks
too little time

too many arguments
too many insecurities
too many sighs
too many flags
too many apologies
too many tears
too many misgivings
too little smiles

too many mishaps
too many calls
too many tickets
too many clients
too many places
too many stops
too many tantrums
too little patience

too many late nights
too many meetings
too many headaches
too many missed meals
too many misunderstandings
too many quarrels
too many pressures
too little fun

too little sleep
too little exercise
too little confidence
too little recreation
too little reassurance
too little bonding
too little ministry
too many negative thoughts

my challenge

Too busy.
Forgive me.
I got problems of my own.
Your help is on the way.

but was I your help all along?

Can the world see...
the love you put inside of me?

If I say I love You,
but they can't see
my words are empty,
they won't see You in me

No more excuses,
I give it all away
because I may be
the only Jesus they see.

[based on The Last Jesus]

faith food

My faith extends beyond my God
to the invisible parts of the visible:
trust, integrity, honestly, goodwill...
the belief that each person is capable of these
and each can contribute positively and equally,
though many may choose not to.

Their choice however does not shake my belief,
and it's the belief that makes me who I am
that feeds the spirit that I am known for
that infuses positive energy...

Fight the belief down,
and you lose more than you may gain.
