I've had to make some choices Many not understood by man I've had to make some sacrifices That were not easy to understand As difficult as some of the choices were That my flesh wanted to override I have to admit, the things I gave up Gave me more peace and joy inside Now I know some of those choices were weights Disguised as wants and needs And many of the things I laid aside Were things that kept my flesh appeased So without the weights it's easier to hear The difference in my voice, God's voice and man's And with each weight now that I lay aside I'm freer to run the best race that I can�� copyright 2007 Helen Swift

WOW! What a powerful write and so, so true; how quickly we disguised the the weight that keeps us bound, and places stumbling blocks in front of our blessings...Thank GOD for the HOLY GHOST.

Stay bless and know God will remove anything that is keeping us from doing His will and our blessing.

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
