moment for today...

january 29...

sometimes doing nothing, is the only thing to do...

even when we claim to be doing nothing, we are invariably doing something, even if it is just going with the flow of things. sometimes that is all that is necessary. not fighting against what is. accepting all as it is, and surrendering to it...

moment by moment, i will remember that doing nothing is sometimes all that is needed.

footprints...

when there are no footprints in the sand,
God has me safely in his hand.
when i don't know which way to go,
God is there and i am home.
when i don't know just what to do,
doing nothing, gets me through.
this moment is the only one,
maybe another, when this one's done,
taking one step at a time,
forever asking, Thy will, not mine.
upon awakening, my heart may see,
footprints, waiting, just for me...

to row or not to row...

finding myself not really wanting to "row the boat" today...and wondering why it matters anyway. if God is in charge of everything, then whether or not i row gently, hard, or not at all, want the boat get to where ever the stream of God is taking it...regardless? this from someone that has been sober for almost 9 months...haha! been dealing with a sick baby, busted transmission, and a lack of points needed to become a renter...and am powerless over all of it! sometimes it is difficult to be willing to be willing...but then other times, seems i have both oars in the water...and the boat seems to be heading in the right direction...guess as long as i don't drink or drug...all is as it should be...go figure...there must be a learning lesson in all of this...sometimes, when i don't feel like rowing...God's stream will take me where i need to go...or maybe, just maybe, i will wake up and already be there!

just for today, star.
