Cause and Affection

Hey guys! Well, John Roberts and I had an enjoyable time this evening eating Hot Tamales and watching "Walk The Line" (which would have been HORRIBLY depressing if John and I had not been laughing together the whole way through). Anyway, that's my excuse for being up late even though I'm getting up early... HAPPY DAY AFTER YOUR BIRTHDAY JOHN! WOOOOO! Thanks for being such an encouragement to me and a source of wisdom. Press on in your faith, man.

On a different note, I wrote this poem about my struggle with waiting patiently for God to answer prayer.

Cause and Affection

I thought it over
I made my design
Waiting for the right time
I thought it was over
It seems I was wrong
The waiting goes on
My plans are laid bare
And the need is still there
I simply want to reply
Ideas I have to deny
Your gifts are lovely, but they are not You
They’re only beautiful because they’re from You
And I cannot take what’s not mine
So I kiss all my dreams goodnight
They’re sleeping but will they survive?
