Scene 1 Take 6

Every step feels like a hurricane or twister, and it’s not child’s play I keep letting go of the notebook, guess it’s time to review the frames You can never walk on water if you don’t first crawl with faith Insert cliché: life is a movie; so why do we choose to keep reliving the scene when hope slips through the crack like the regret you allowed to happen When His spirit whispers directions to us, we often treat the truth like rumors Going into a life questioning spiral causing dizziness, aka indecisiveness, what, who, where, when, how, why, why, why the lack of motivation, depression, fear and so on… We look at the gospel like gossip instead of instructions Then the ways of the world become our heartbeat, choking out our God given breath We choose not to see the sun then questions why these cloudy thoughts bring an unwanted storm I wake up, I go to work, I run errands, I read, I work out, I do my best to provide, and it’s a productive day, right? Then tomorrow comes and completely forgets about yesterday You see on tomorrow my mind erases any progress made I’m learning how to push through as the knife is being pushed through my back Success is not a label it’s learning how to push you We all know the end of the movie but right now I am stuck on the 2nd take Listening to a second opinion only keeps you in second place Don’t misplace your I.D. and if you do, like me simply remind yourself I once was lost but now I am found Oh, there’s my wallet…it’s so nice to be seen But we give more sight to social eyes that don’t even know half of the story Instead of the eyes that saw all when there was nothing They say write your own story, but mine was already written by the author and finisher of my faith I’m just co-writing these words so if life brings writers block it’s not because I can’t shoot, it’s because I didn’t read Between the lines it’s not a game more like war of the spiritual form So, here we go again take 3, shooters shoot and I’m going for three So, keep practicing your form like this isn’t even my final form Allow Him to mold you into the best version of yourself Remember life is cinematic but that doesn’t mean you have to live in slow motion Ok take 4: stay focused and be the star of this motion picture Picture this: the creator of the stars sees you shining brighter than all the stars So, let’s go the time is now, the journey is ongoing so keep looking forward Don’t let the ceilings keep you from looking up Don’t put limits on yourself, when God who is within you says impossible is nothing Not adidas, three stripe life because His spirit is within me Three stripe life because I am healed by His stripes Three stripes but even on strike three I wont strike out This is the crescendo, He’s too good for me to be silent like turn down for what This is the requiem because the old me is dead so allow me introduce the new creation The rise because He rose, so I will bloom like a beautiful rose Don’t break character your identity is found in Christ so break chains Bringing change because you are not just leftover change You are priceless p.s. life is a movie, don’t watch it, live it…this is part two…
