Sometimes I just feel I have to post something in order to get something out. I know it's been what, 2 years since I've posted. Ha ha. I'm surprised this hasn't been deleted yet but here's a new addition. I wrote this in response to my feelings for a girl and yet my conviction to place God first and to try to encourage the same for her.

Your heart is a treasure that gleams
With Christ’s light shining like beams
Growth and molding will take place
Finding yourself surrounded by His grace
Convicted though I may be
I still have feelings for thee
Submitting them before the Lord
Renews my heart restored
In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame.
Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness;
turn your ear to me and save me.
Be my rock of refuge,
to which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress. –Psalm 71:1-3
I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.
It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.
Let him sit alone in silence,
for the LORD has laid it on him.
Let him bury his face in the dust—
there may yet be hope. –Lamentations 3:24-29
