Grow Through It

Troubling Situation

We all go through things that are uncomfortable.
There’s that troubling coworker who gets on your nerves.
There’s a dream that has taken longer than you thought
To come true. Generally, it feels like you’re caught
In a trap of frustration. No person deserves
Such a thing, but it seems it’s not preventable.

You can’t pray away everything that bothers you.
God uses inconveniences, difficulties,
And delays to see if you choose to Grow Through It
Rather than getting bitter. If you can submit
To the test you’ve been given, then you will with ease
Get the insight and strength needed to follow through.

Our faith is tested in the fire of affliction.
We don’t grow so much in the good times. We grow in
Difficult situations. It’s not a mistake
When someone does you wrong or you get a bad break.
If you choose not to hold a grudge, you will begin
To live life with a little less contradiction.

Grow Through It! Go the extra mile. Take the high road
And forgive. This is how to use God’s loving grace.
Build your spiritual muscles. Don’t get upset
Over struggles that haven’t even happened yet.
Do not be afraid to look challenge in the face.
Grace comes to you when you’re in the receptive mode.

Life Is Easy

Happy With The Routine

The immensity of it is overwhelming.
It’s my life that I’m talking about. It beats me
To a pulp why things don’t want to turn out my way.
Why do I end up working my ass off all day
Without much satisfaction? I just want to be
Free to live a life that is truly amazing.

I’ll attend my own seminar. I’ve learned enough
To fill lifetimes of wisdom. If I could access
All of it in this moment, I would realize
The illusion. My truest self wears a disguise
Called the ego, and it specializes in stress.
It can keep me from getting to all the good stuff.

I could go for a different experience
Than the one that I’m having. The one most ideal
Is of passion and wonder. I’ve been there before.
It’s my strongest intention to be there some more.
There is nothing more important than how I feel.
I can deal with a life of delightful suspense.

Do I know what I’m doing? I know better now
That my doing means nothing unless I’m aligned
With my truest self, then I can do anything.
What is the vibration that I am offering
To my universe? In the answer I will find
Everything that will enable me to allow.
