To the ONE who suspends the stars in the sky and the ONE who orchestrates the choir of birds through out the universe. YOU surely have my heart, O Lord! What an emotion to be loved by the Creator and to know that YOU are pulling the strings of my heart. Each and every day YOU carefully pull one string after another and align my life in YOUR perfect order.
I can just see YOU pulling the strings right now. First YOU pull the ones that have to do with my purpose. Then YOU pull the ones that guide my footsteps. Then YOU pull the ones that have to do with my response to those YOU send across my path each day. It is a perfect harmony that ONLY YOU can create.
I can also see the colors of the strings too. They are the colors of love and the colors of forgiveness. It wasn't until I learned forgiveness that the strings could be unparalyzed, for a heart of unforgiveness is really not a moldable heart at all! Thank YOU for the gift of forgiveness, Heavenly Father! I bet there is an entire rainbow of color inside my heart by now! I love you eternally!

Here I am frozen
between planning and action
A very blank paper
Picture without caption
I know not what move to make
and certainly not how to make it
I helplessly try to trick my mind,
but I can't even fake it
A pulsating time bomb
is ticking in my head
Agony throbs through
as nowhere I'm led
When will I be unparalyzed?
When will I see liberation?
I despise the clock with it's little time
I can't afford to be patient
Immobile and unsure
like a car without traction
Here I am frozen
between planning and action
