Jeans Fading as Flowers

Sometimes I see my life as a road. And I'm the car. I don't know where this road will lead, and at night it is dark and empty. No one in sight. During the day it's bright, full of people and chaos. This road is also lined with traffic lights, some are red, and some are green....and of course yellow. Oftentimes I will choose to keep going even when the light is red. Then there is a collision and my world is turn upside down, twisted and confused. Other instances the light will be green, and I will again go, but sometimes it will be yellow....telling me I need to slow down. God is the ruler of these traffic lights, he will show you when you need to stop or go, or even just slow down.



I love it when people write me letters or notes. On a piece of paper, like in the old days. It makes it so much more meaningful to me, to think that someone actually sat down and took the time to write me. Sometimes I write my friends letters and send them in the mail. I think it's a nice surprise.

I have been having these weird feelings lately that something is going to happen to me, whether something happens or not I just want people to know that I love them. God is the only good in us. I read soemthing the other day in my Social Working book that said "It is the Social Worker that holds everything together. The Social Worker is the constant; the GLUE." Going into the Social Working field, I agree with this statement. But all I could seem to think about was, "Why can't we just let GOD be the glue?" We can't hold anything together without God, so what's the point in trying?

I would appreciate it if you would pray for me, I need it. Everyone does.

With Love from Christ,
