Living Out of a Box

Living out of a box Everything I ever knew from my existence has been challenged Will I make the cut? What about all the supplies I have saved? Was it all in vain? Will tomorrow be as He said it would be? I must stretch out my hand of faith and hold fast to my anchor in Him I am the only true Soldier in my household I know what is around the bend The rest think I am a bit over the top With hurricanes and earthquakes along the way Will they at least believe me when they see it for themselves? I have been a good son I have been a dedicated worker But when it comes to my faith it is “extreme” they say One day in the not-so-distant future they will see that I was right all along I am a loyal son to my parents And I am a loyal son to my Savior I am still waiting on you Lord Jesus I sit here all alone waiting for the desires of my heart to be fulfilled Don’t leave me disappointed I will be so completely devastated Please tell me that all of these images and dreams are real I have been waiting for 30 plus years on something new I will continue to pray and lean on you You are my Savior You are my best friend too! Written by Gwendolen Rix 8-6-14 Dedicated to a brother in Christ...
