REFLECTION

Reflection

It was that time again, my birthday, a time of reflection,

the annual day to look at myself, am I headed in the right direction?

I know I'm a Christian, but am I really being Christ like?

Am I doing things the right way - am I shining my light?

I believe that I am on the right path - but there is far to go,

for God is truly working in me..this is one thing I know!

He's on the path with me, steering me in the right direction,

I can see it in my eyes and spirit, I see Him in my reflection.

Things may be tough sometimes, it will be rough time and time again,

but I'm never alone in the muck- God always sends me a friend.

One to pray for me, another to remind me of His word, one simply to encourage,

it is through those people that I keep moving - I push ahead, I am not discouraged.

From time to time I am slapped around, things seem to be so bad,

but! I know God's got my back, I'm doing what He said.. so I don't even get mad.

Surely I am enjoying this time, this special time of life reflection...

the road continues on for me.. with Christ, I'm moving in the right direction.
