Saying "In God’s Time" doesn’t make things better...It simply makes them worthwhile. - Corina.
God hears our inner cries.
... Here are my thoughts put to verse
Inspired by God's Holy WORD, and personal experience
I pray you will be blessed, inspired, and challenged.
For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 2 Corinthinans 4:6
note: All comments will be screened before they appear publicly. God BLESS.
“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”- James 1:5
My prayer: "Dear Lord, please give me the wisdom to know when to be 'silent'."

Oh well... leave it with the Lord.
It's time like this, I wish I were completely ignorant to everything! But since I'm not, "Denial" is my second choice. 
Well, whatever it is, I hope I'm ready. ...for enlightenment, discernment; and praying that God will open the doors necessary. Praying that my October work schedule cooperates with ministry objectives.
It seems these days, I’m running
And getting no where fast
Unable to move into the future
Constantly trapped in the past.
I’m longing to burn bridges
Except the ones that carry me to you
In the meantime, fighting to keep up appearances
When really I’m feeling blue.
Not feeling as if I belong
Yet "trying" to keep on track...
Battling to move forward
And finding that something keeps hauling me back!
Lord, I’m feeling weary
Condemned by my lack of faith;
Can’t help but feel like falling,
At an alarming rate!
Lord, I just don’t understand;
When I stood so strong for you
Why I would find myself slipping
Not able to rise above what I’m going through!
Have I denied your name?
Or wandered from the path you have chose?
Has this chapter of my life been re-written;
And at the authors command, been closed?
Is it too late to appeal by grace,
To once again, come and ask to be restored/
Or have I wandered too far & too long
And I’m not being heard anymore?
Am I lost, and don’t realize it?
Has this sheep taken her eyes off you?
Am I cursed to wander aimlessly
No matter what I do?
Lord, darkness is surrounding me
And I’m afraid - because I can’t find my way.
And now, I’m seeking shelter,
Hide me Lord, I pray.

'For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. Ezekiel 34: 11, 12 (NIV)
we all have "those days" when we feel like we want to crawl under a rock, (or something like that) - Lately, I'm having WAY TOO MANY of them.
There are also times when no matter how much I love God, I can't seem do what I ought to be doing...This is one of those times, when I'm oppressed (can't worship), depressed (down), obsessed (in perfectionism), and plain/simply: Unable to stand in my own strength. I'm not doing a great job concealing it...In fact, I've gotten to the point that I could care less "what I appear to be" --- "Dangerous."
Good News: God can see us through these times as well! Personally speaking, it's very difficult to be in this position...simply because it's "as if" you're lost in limbo. I don't know where I'm suppose to be anymore. I always thought Officership would be it, but: I "can't" go that route. (Feeling like a "failure" ~ understatement!) God isn't the problem. I am. (so, with that being said: There's days I wonder why He [God] just don't cut his losses and move on?)
WHY?
Because He [God/Jesus] is the "Good Shepherd" (and I'm sick, and lost - in need of rescue...)
Eventually, I'll look back on this experience and be "affirmed" in the faith. Right now, I'm looking at it from a different angle; and finding it extremely difficult to maintain status quo.
Chorus comes to mind:
"Here am I, so unworthy of the blood...
Unworthy of the blood, that sets me free...
Here am I, so unworthy of the blood...
But yet it flowed for me."

...my novice attempt at being OPEN. I hate being open. oh well.
God BLESS! 
Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation,to share your love , and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience. Let so love that in that day you will smile and say welcome home!
Hey CORINA!!!!! :) I like this one...very special. Of course I like ALL of them, but this is...I dunno, different. ;) Talk 2 ya latta, luv u!
This is actually one that I'm thinking about deleting. Too personal... Thanks for the encouragement - It goes a LONG way!
Marti and I appreciate all your work and love you much! We pray for you each day! 
We are in a real war "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places]." 
Nice poem, it's not real unless it comes from the heart. I find that usually, I'm way too candid!Thanks for the compliment though. 
Well, candid is good.
- Thanks. As you can tell, I don't use spellcheck, so I'll take your word for it...
^^;;; You're welcome.
