Tick Tock...

Love In Disguise

Written September 5, 2011; dedicated to impatience

There are things we can’t explain

There are feelings we cannot shake

There are moments we want to remake

There are chances we want to take

And while we’re sitting in our restlessness

All this longing turns into stress

Wanting our way, but praying for Yours

Blind to see all the open doors

Make it clear

Make it real

Make it something we can feel

We’re contradicting ourselves

Putting hope on shelves

Too eager to know

When you’re telling us to wait

Which direction do we go

Which side do we take

And all You say is wait

So we do…

Life is passing by

What’s taking so long?

Is this how it should be, or did I do something wrong?

All You say is wait

My patience is slim

These moments are grim

Are You still there?

Do You still care?

I can wait no longer

I thought I was stronger

You left me here alone

I’ll do this on my own

So I go…

I made a big mistake

I know You said wait

Can I have another chance?

Or is it all too late?

Waiting…

I wish I listened from the start

Instead I let this world tear me apart

Yet even when I was a broken mess

You showed me grace and forgiveness

I prayed for what I thought I wanted

Yet You showed me what I truly needed

All along You were right in front of my eyes

My One True Love in disguise 

Sincerely,

Stephanie
