Little more upbeat

Look inside
What’s going on
Think of good things
Drawing you on

Things to be learned
Things to be done
Walking with others
Very fine ones

Think of the joy
When things come together
Sharpen each other
Get better and better

Think of the times
When challenges huge
Felt overwhelming
Tempted to kluge

Remember those times
With no way to pass
They did open up
Like very long grass

So hold on securely
The hope to complete
There will be a finish
With you on your feet

Too Much to Do?

This week, as part of my "being coached" activities, I have agreed to examine the thoughts behind my proclivity to require more time than I would like to complete various tasks. This is a good time for pressing into that area as I am feeling the pressure of a lot to do, many tasks with definite delivery times.

Too Much to Do?

This is not a good time
Its not a good place
Must reach down inside
Get hold of his grace

Let go of the weight
Of things to be done
Release the concern
Take hold one by one

Don’t carry it all
Its too much to bear
Each one’s not so hard
Why pull out your hair

Put your mind
On the Lord
Touch his life
Tap his peace

He wants you to know
There is a release
A place of abiding
Where worries do cease
