The Race

I may be faint and weak in my body
But I will not let it get into my mind
Not in my spirit because I know I must win my race
I will stay in the race
Though I may look like I am about to curve me in
Even when I fall, I will not fail
I am committed to this race because I won’t have a re-run

I am in this race for my life; I will not stop for gossip
My heart will not doubt, I live by faith, I believe
And I am running the race with patients
I have the strength for each day, one day at a time
I will not loose what I have for nothing
Not over a cigarette, sex, beer… Oh no the list is too long
I got to run my race, I can’t give up now
I can’t waste my tears over that foolishness of yesterday
I shall not look down, I will look up
I have great witnesses of many that made it over in this race
I got a testimony, I don’t need any proof
I got a witness that I have a friend that sticks closer than a brother

I was on the verge, and it looked like I was done
The doctors said I wouldn’t make it
But I am still in the race; I can go some more miles
I can take it because I have been lifted up again and again
Peter can stand and say I denied the Lord but I made it
Paul can say I was the chief of sinner but I made it in
King David can say I murdered and committed adultery
But I was a man after his own heart
You see I can still run I have had my own portion
But I can make it too as long as I put down
Every weight that can weigh me down
Because when I am closest, the race gets harder
But I can’t give it up now I am winning my race

walk in victory

I walk in victory, I smile and laugh at the roar of sadness My inner person understands I am more than what meets the eye I am this and so much more Love joy and peace have won my heart Thus I am not moved by this thorn in my flesh Because I know I have a future and a hope I will see tomorrow with newness and great expectations My hope shall not be deffered I walk in victory. I am the face of a winner.

Thanksgiving

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5v18 (King James Version) If the heart is thankful, giving thanks is not hard but if there are seeds of ungratefulness it will be hard for you to give thanks. You may say what is there in my life that I can thank him for, let me say just a few, the fact that you woke up this morning and you still have your breathe that alone is a miracle to thank him for; life is a great gift you can never be able to repay. Thank him that you are in your right mind, in good health, with a place to lay your head etc. You are blessed and if you are thankful you will not be discouraged. Thankful people are always filled with goodness and loaded with benefits. It is a Thanksgiving day, think of all he did for you this year … if you make a list or get out your journal, you will be amazed at his goodness. Your year might have been filled with thorns but I know that even roses do have thorns but when you ge...

Smile!

O what an Ah-ha! moment to remember it doesn’t cost me anything to smile. Sadness melted away when I smiled and the sunshine beamed on my soul and my spirit was lifted up and I began to soar higher and higher. Elevated now I can see how much attitude is keeping me on this platform with a bird’s eye view the mountains that were humongous in the valley are tiny rocks, the river that was flooding on me have become like a creeping creek. There is a gold mine of strength in a happy countenance, grace, peace and life. A merry heart is the medicine for all times. This is what I have said, but hear what the wisest man that ever lived has to say in proverbs. Proverbs 15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. Proverbs 18:14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? At all cost I will have a merry heart, a...
