Do as I do but not as I say ,
or is it say as I say, not the other way?
Can I have this? It is what I need.
I promise it’s not my ego I feed
I’ll answer your question if you answer mine,
course I’ll make my transparency benign
If you want my number
make sure your willing to dial.
I’ll be keeping a tally
be keeping it all on file.
Every fear divulged
every perceived lie
when I need to cover my ass
The accusations will fly.
Don’t hurt me baby, you’ll pay if you do
It’ll be veiled and contorted but definitely true.

A cynical look at the new age languaging popularly used in my circles, hot on the tail of the communication commitment. It is the way of things, anytime a new movement comes along, as people struggle to make it their own, make it authentic, there is struggle.

I struggle with setting priorities. I struggle with letting go of the things that are at the top of my list when life itself gets in the way of my being able to meet those priorities. I struggle sometimes with punctuality. I struggle sometimes with being as consistent as possible with my kids...I much prefer fluidity and non-rigidness, but I know they need consistency and a certain amount of structure and I struggle sometimes with being able to provide them with that.
ReplyDeleteI struggle to stay surrendered,
ReplyDelete-and to walk in the Spirit and not the flesh,
-and to consistently walk out the truth...
"I do the very thing I don't want to
and don't do the what I do want...",
-and to hear His Voice
