Batting average

 As the sun rises

On this beautiful morning

I’m reminded that

What I thought

Were losses

Aren’t looking

That way

Anymore


I’m still impatient

And want it

My way

So folks

I’m still

Being molded


I’ll take small wins

All day long

Because my 

Batting average

Lately

Is nothing

To write 

Home about

These days

  4. Good to hear you woke up with a positive attitude, that is a great thing to have, we all fall short every now and then, we just need to ask God to pick us back up :)

  13. Sometimes God uses even our losses to help us grow stronger and better! We can't always see it at first, but in time it all begins to make sense. I pray that your week will be filled with many little wins along the way!! Sometimes baby steps are best.

  18. I'm reading a book called I Am by Steve Fry, and just read a chapter about not dismissing the small things. In Zechariah 4 the Lord tells him, "Don't measure things by their lack of scope or minimal size. Don't despise the small things." It may be because what God does with the small thing if the true measure of the greatness of His power. (The little town of Bethlehem, a small band of ordinary men.)
    I've read the chapter twice now. It's exciting to read that what you thought were losses, the Lord is showing you His perspective of them and they're not really losses at all! Be encouraged! Love you!
