My lesson today

My lesson today is that I am getting older and I will have to admit- I am not the same guy I was when I was a youth minister, an editor, and a hundred other things I've been in my life

I am unsure of the future but I'm OK with that.

I realize that I may fail and that may be God's will for my life.

My lesson today is all about trust in an unseen hand that knows ever inch of my flesh and has seen the depth of my darkness and the burning light within.

My lesson today is that happiness is ephemeral shadows in search of something deeper.  And I may not ever really see happiness in ways that I thought (And I'm OK with that.)

My greatest works will not be documented and my deepest wounds may be seen by all. (And whole I shutter to think about how hard it is to stand in truth- I''m OK with that.)

My lesson is that I may end up penniless and alone with little more than a few coins when I die. (And I'm Ok with that.)

I've learned God is slowly growing me in anonymity to be a man of truth who is comfortable in his story rather than his reputation.

(And I will be OK with that too)
