On APRIL 18-23, 2013 I wrote
I believe God has been asking me to:
(1) more sleep, water, & movement
(2) prayer & praise and study & meditation (build and maintain home altars)
(3) honor God in the "doing" (work is my worship and mission field)
(4) love, trust, rejoice, be thankful, and be a blessing
Today I review this and I think CHANGE IS SLOW, and then think of the words to the song, like a skin ...
The butterfly can just look back
Flap those wings and say Oh, yeah
I never have to be a worm again
The snake gets tired of being him
He wriggles from that itchy skin
Leaves it lying where he's been and moves on
And I am longing for something tangible
Some kind of proof that there's been change in me
Feels like I have been waking up
Only to fight with the same old stuff
Change is slow and it fills me with such doubt
Come on, New Man, where have you been?
Help me wriggle from this Self I'm in
And leave it like a skin upon the ground
Two steps forward, one step back
I make my way along this path
Never sure what any of it means
What I'd give for a scenic view
of where I've been and where I'm going to
To know that something's happened in between
