A work in process ...

So, I sat in my car yesterday on my lunch and began writing. I've been wanting to pick that back up for a while, and just have not done so. This is what I came up with ... it's not completed and needs a lot of work. But I'm determined to bust out of this shell I've created for myself and try to reach out and branch out and all those other "out" phrases. ha! So I'm sharing ... I hear a melody with it, so I suppose it's going to be a song, and I only have half of the second verse ...

The father of lies is at it again
trying to cause defeat
He comes at me daily putting thoughts in my head
And he whipsers - go ahead and retreat
I try to walk forward spinning out of control
determined not to give in
He's creeping through the darkness about to take hold
And I fall to my knees once again
---
I've got no where to run
There's no where to hide
Lord, I need you right by my side
I can't move ahead
And I won't turn back now
All I can do is stand my ground
But I won't turn around
---
If you feel defeated child, just lift up your head
Your help is just a prayer away
Surrounded by darkness, all your fears have been fed
But all it takes is just a little faith
(here would be the missing part)
---
You don't have to run
And you don't have to hide
He is still standing by your side
Just open your heart
And lay it all down
Once was lost and now you're found
Just don't turn around
Like I said ... a work in progress ... be gentle. ha! Gotta go to work, I'll have to tell you all about my first Body Pump class later ... let's just say -- my legs are still shaking, oh wait - I have legs?! haha. Later...

Hi Jen, can't wait to read the rest of the story about our trip. It will bring it all back for me. I can't believe I've been home 2 weeks already!! I would think it was a dream if I didn't have the pictures to prove we went!! I loved meeting you and all the others!! If you come out to Cali, you are definitely invited to my house, too!! Bring Tif..

So far, I love the "song". I can also hear a melody when I read it, so know it will end up a song. It's great!
