Quiet Time- time tolisten

This is one of my favorites though I don’t know who wrote it.
Luke 10:38-42
Lord, I had asked you
To teach me…
And then I’d gone my way
I had never listened

I had sought your advice
And then I’d leaned on my own …
I had never listened.

I had yearned for your presence
And had talked on and on…
I had never listened.

Now I stop,
Silent,
Waiting,
Listening.

Now your voice
Softly,
Quietly,
Speaks,
As I listen.

Iam at crossroads in my life now
I have a faint clue how i got here
Though am not really sure how and when
Days have turned into a month and one into many

Just when i thought that i stood firm, i fell
Iam filled with thoughts both positive and negative
It started with the denial, followed by excuses
Time has taught me to accept the reality

The reality, Iam out of work, jobless
After the schooling, shhort gig, the excuses
I accept that iam jobless, out of work
Humorously, Iam a domestic manager

How can i find humor you ask in all these?
How can you not find humor in all these?
How long canthis self-pity last?
How long can i hide from the truth?

Easy, When you come to self-realization
A point of self-reconciliation and acceptance
of who iam, what i have and where iam
A point of decisionmaking and action

I choose to mop around no more
I will get up and get a job if its the last thing i do
I will get back to school and educate myself
i will dream, hope, believe and achieve all i can
Because i know that i can do it
Even more i am a believer in the Almighty God and
I have put all that iam/ ever be in Him.

To be upset over what you don't have is a waste of what you do have.
