Set me free. <3

Small- JJ Heller
"Cardboard cutouts on the floor
People wish that you were more like what they wanted you to be
Eventually they won’t have much of you at all in their theology
The walls are closing in on you
You cannot be contained at all

I don’t want to make you small
I don’t want to fit you in my pocket
A cross around my throat
You are brighter than the sun
You’re closer than the tiny thoughts I have of you
But I could never fathom you at all

Broken moldings all around
Broken people hit the ground
When they discover that you’re not here for our benefit
You love in spite of us
You use the least of us to prove the strong aren’t really strong at all."

How foolish I am.

For the longest time, I've made it my prerogative to do things on my own.. If you know me well, you would know that I can be a very independent person. However, I am human.. And I often overlook the fact that I NEED to break that barrier if I am ever going to get anywhere in my relationship with Christ.

I have been walking alone for the longest time. Every once and I while I would grab His hand for a short time and then let go.

I overlook the fact that letting God take my hand and be my strength is all that I need.

SO.

I'm taking a stand.

I'm tired of making promises that I NEVER keep.

Remember the whole "I'm going to read the Bible in a year" thing? Yeah, I'm still in Genesis.

I'm sick of sitting here feeling sorry for myself, because I have nothing to be sorry for!

I am a chosen person, loved and wanted my my Creator, and set apart to do His will!

What is stopping me?

It's time I shed that awful skin that I've been hiding under, and begin my journey of letting God control my life.

I'm ready already. Let's get this party started. ;)

Grace and peace.
