God and Man

God determines my fate today
I was going to go one way
And He said "go another"
by not giving me what I want
or shall I say what I thought I want?
Isn't that funny?
We are so gung-ho in going on our directions
that we forgot what our mission was
I still don't know what my direction is
But I know it's not that
since He didn't give it to me
Maybe it is the direction that I think it is
before I forgot it
Haha I am talking in circles
But the bottom line is I know that I know
That is not that
But I still don't know what it is
Can someone tell me what it is?
I am just kidding
He is taking His sweet time
Maybe I should too
Taking my sweet time
Ahh - What should I do?
I know 
I just pretend I don't hear Him
and take my sweet time
No - He is going to know
Maybe I'll make Him wait
No - can't do that either
He is going to know and
He is going to not wait
Shoot - what a person to do
That's just it
What a person to do?
Man versus God
There is no equal
God versus man 
There is equal
Did you get that?

Toguyen, a poem that taught me about the importance of being loyal to God for His mission is greater than ours.
