We pretend that our half-truths are wisdom and that our occasional kindnesses are love. When things go well we praise ourselves; when things go wrong we accuse others or blame You. Have mercy on the rank silliness that distorts our behavior, the ease with which we get seduced by trivial goals, the clumsiness and insecurity that marks our relationships and the burdens and hurts we impose on one another. Lord of unlimited mercies, please pity our weakness and forgive our sins. Let us begin again with no agenda except that of living as Your redeemed children. Through Christ our Saviour: Amen!
I used to sit and worry about the future, but worrying about the future doesn’t change the past. I used to think that tomorrow would be better, but now I know that I’m doing the best I can. I’m just human trying to find the reasons as to why I stand. It took some time to realize that I am what I am.
I want to be rich and I want to be happy, more than a fantasy. And I want to be inside a love that shines bright enough to last a lifetime.
Suddenly, I see the things I used to see so differently, I feel as if I’ve found a new reality. The noise outside my window is a symphony, a symphony of endless possibility. Right in front of me.
It’s all my state of mind,
Christina
