For now, I'm in the ante-room of life, waiting,
perusing month-old magazines,
fully expecting You to wave that flag
when the race begins.
Little do I know, it's already fully underway.

Motivate me to see beyond the confines of faith
and to move from waiting on You to walking with You.
I ask that You bless me with self-determination,
and I'll assume that if You gave me the dream,
You want me to make it come true.

When I try a little, You bless me a little.
When I try a lot, You bless me a lot.
Remind me of this correlation daily.
