A song

There is a song in Wicked I heard, and it stung.
Here are some lyrics:
I'm limited:
Just look at me-I'm limited
And just look at you-
You can do all I couldn't do
So now it's up to you
For both of us
Now it's up to you

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you

This song has hit me hard.
There are more lyrics.
I wonder if I get weary from teaching or being taught
I didn't want to type out the lyrics
I'm lazy, it takes time and I'm crying.

I wonder if a calling
is not always typical
God grant me what it is
I need
I can't say it now

God Bless,
R

Observe

I was in Dallas this weekend, and it was good for my soul.
Here are some observations.
Being disabled is a pain in the a**.  You have some kind people of which I'm grateful, and you have those who make you question.
An airport to me is a love hate relationship.
I saw the musical "Wicked" and while I enjoyed it, it hit a little too close to home.
Sometimes pain is incurred in moments unexpected.
Not much is easy.
While I think I teach others, God teaches me.
We hate what we don't know.

God Bless,
R

Thoughts

Children are blessings even if I don't have any.
I'm learning what grace is when I extend it to myself.
Love one another.  It's our legacy.
I heard something this morning. Religious people feel a need to do good things, As Christians we want to do good things.
I don't need to learn to pray better. I need to pray.
Jesus didn't come to be served, but to serve.
God is everywhere.
God Bless,
R

Chasing

If I have to chase you
You don't want me
I'll be a priority
Not just a choice
I've spent many a year
Chasing.
I don't want to anymore
I'm tired

R

Confession

With losing weight, comes trying on new clothes.  I've love to default Amazon.com, but I won't.  I'm afraid certain things won't fit, and I'll put pressure on myself to lose more weight because of a number.

I need healthy recipes with veggies, chicken and beans preferably.

I love gummy sweets, but have stuck with chocolate.

Eating healthy isn't glamorous, but worth it.

I love baubles.

I want to trust His timing.  I don't do this well.

God Bless,
R

Broken blessed

At church today the pastor made a point that stuck.  Are you willing to be broken to be blessed.  I never equated brokenness with blessing.
Right now, I can't quantify my brokenness.  I don't know if it's brokenness.  I'm learning me.  And who me is I will find out soon enough.  I was listening to music, and artist described their song as "asking God for the hard things".  Do we really want to ask God for the things we are".
Right now, it's where I'm at.  I know what I want, but do I know what I want?  Right now my pants are loose, my feet are callused and yet I still ask why?  I cooked a chicken and ate chocolate, and still ask why?  Real life is real right now.  I look great, but I don't feel great.  And that's okay.  It's where I'm at.  I know I ended with a preposition, but I'm okay with that.  Acceptance right now is a daily goal, not always achieved.  Where I'm at, not where I want to be.
Another day, another lesson, another blessing.
Broken, not so bad.
God Bless,
R

My confessions
Eating healthy takes works, but is worth it.
I love fried eggs
Being in Belk's shoe department made me a little sad
I resented these braces for a minute
Chocolate is good...any picks?

thoughts

Hey
I'm listening to my praise and worship songs, and I wonder:  Am I letting God be God?  I'm too busy scared and comparing.  That's a combo I don't need.  I need to cede control.  I'm to busy wondering if time has passed for me to see my dreams, to give up on them.  Am I quitting?  I don't want to fight.  Are my dreams worth fighting for?  God, grace me with Your Presence, Your Love, Your Grace.  Only You will do.  Love me when I can't.
Be Sovereign like the song by Chris Tomlin is titled.
God Bless,
R
