Sometimes I feel trapped
by my own decisions
Times I said “Yes”
when I should have said “No”
Times I was silent
when I really wanted to talk
Times I said “Sure”
when I meant “Nope”
Times I stayed
when I really wanted to go
Times I said “OK”
when I wanted to say “No way”
Times I smiled
when I wanted to scream
Times.
So many times.
But here’s the thing
I must remember
I can change my decisions
at any time
and I’m never really trapped after all.

Being quiet
Being still
Doing some thinking
Doing some feeling
what steps come next?
what path will be mine?
what holds my attention?
define the design…
lights and signs may flash all around me
noise and smells fill the air
stimulation overloads my senses
where do I focus?
I shuffle cards
in the deck of my life
what do I hold?
what do I fold?
What boundaries do I need to set?
What goals do I need to plan?
What will help me understand my gifts?
and use them…
Questions abound
And so I am quiet
And so I am still
Doing some thinking and feeling
and knowing
the bottom line will always be
What will bring me closer to God?

Ready to live
Ready to see
Ready to learn
Ready to hope
Ready to create
Ready to breathe
Ready to laugh
Ready to change
Ready to give
Ready to listen
Ready to work
Ready to believe
Ready to step
Ready to jump
Ready to fly
Ready to be
completely me

I wait
I wait for God
to open new doors
portals of change
though I’m not sure what
I wait for God
to meet my needs
physical and emotional
though I’m not sure how
I wait for God
to guide my steps
forward or sideways
though I’m not sure where
I wait
I wait for clarity
I wait for decisions
I wait for answers
I wait for understanding
I wait
Waiting feels helpless
powerless and futile
I want to take action
I want to have answers
Then I remember
the power in waiting
in truly waiting on God
and sitting in stillness
I can have peace while I wait
freedom in resting
deep breath in, deep breath out
I don’t have to see the whole picture
to know it is there
I can have trust while I wait
freedom in releasing
God will be there
even if I don’t know what my life will be
I can have hope while I wait
freedom in rejoicing
God is my life focus
and nothing else matters
I decide
that I will have faith
while I wait

I can change things about me
about how I interact
about how I process
about how I re-act
But if I am going to make any changes
I have to do it for me
because I want to
not for you
not because
you think I should
not because
you think
life would be
easier, better, happier
for me
(or maybe just you)
That’s your opinion
and unless I agree
and decide to make changes FOR me…
neither one of us will like me very much.
