Tuesday's SP Exercise...Thank You, My Muse

My muse. My Spirit

When you read this I know you won't know how you influenced me.
Taking me through places where the storms of life really taught me
about living, and giving.   I want to thank you for helping me face life issues
that come up each day.  You help me to get to the core of feelings, feelings,
problems, relationships, and how to handle them.
Thank you for protecting me when I didn't know that danger loomed.
Thank you for the deep understanding you provide constantly,
and how I can lay in your arms and cry, while I decide what to do 
Thank you for being my secret place that I retreat to when all hell
has broken loose.  You tell me, simply, "just be still....this battle is not yours"
You've helped me to understand that some people may not like me,
or accept my words, or my presence, making their own conclusions
as to who I am.  But, You know me.  And, You keep their judgements
from touching, or damaging my spirit. Even the pain of learning the truth
about certain people, those who don't know You, and those
who use the Word as a means to achieve their own success.  Praying
in your name, and not believing You to be who You say You are.  SMH
Thank You, my spirit,  for not always telling me," I told you so",
even when You did tell me so.  I spend so much time in solitude,  but
I'm not lonely because You are with me, Thank You for cheering me on
in this skin that I'm in., Thank you for reminding me, that if it
had not been for You on my side....I don't know where I would be!...
When I do good, I can say, it was through Your understanding.  Even when
I am left searching, doing things my way, You are not so far from me
that I feel like I'm lost.  When I get so far out there, I feel a gentle nudging,
which is always You--waving me back.  Mind you, You were all there
all the time; it was just me who steered off the path.

I'm supposed to deliver this to You today.  But, I don't have to....
I can feel Your hands stretched out to me as I type this. 

Yes, it's me again....
