What if....?

My Dream Right Now is to be a Teacher



As I find myself getting closer and closer to achieving this dream,

to become a professional in what I do...

I find myself in a dilemma...as I see those around me struggle or strive...

...then I remembered king Agur's words...

"Two things I request of You

(Deprive me not before I die):

Remove falsehood and lies far from me;

Give me neither poverty nor riches-

Feed me with the food allotted to me;

Lest I be full and deny You,

And say, 'Who is the Lord?'

Or lest I be poor and steal,

And profane the name of my God."

-Proverbs 30:7-9-

Ok?

Excuses Are Lies

Contentedness

Is it possible to be satisfied
with all that we have and all that we are today?

Some days I complain.
Some days I just listen and obey.

Some days I am greedy.
Some days I say enough is enough.

Some days I neglect life.
Some days I am thankful for all that have and all that I am.

Then I came across this verse again.
"...godliness with contentment is great gain."

Godliness comes first before contentment
which results in great gain.

So what does God think about it all?
What does His word say?

A World that Does Not Exist

I want so many things,
yet I pretend I don't.

I demand perfection,
though I act like I don't care.

But in the end,
I have created a world that I don't belong to.

Fallen Leaf

Winter has come once again,

and cold chills run through my veins.

Strong gusty winds blow against me,

and as I walk it blows into my eyes until I cannot see.

A fallen leaf is carried away from its mother tree,

flying here and there until it arrives before me.

I bend down to pick it up,

the leaf in my hands, like a cup.

I see now,

but how?

I am not alone.

He has always known.
