It's Interesting
March 31, 2006
Justene Martin

It's interesting how I react,
When faced with a decision
How fear steps in when faced with facts
That Illuminate my vision.
It's interesting, when closer still,
I always find a reason,
How somehow I can't fill the bill
for something I believe in.
It's interesting, that beast within
Just keeps on rearranging,
I'd never, if 'twere left to him
Change things in need of changing.
It's interesting, this enemy
who stops me in my tracks
From being all that I can be,
By always looking back.
Who is it I'm afraid of,
When I possess the key,
That unlocks this awful prison
That keeps me from being me?
Though it's hidden deep inside me
'neath the layers of my fear
I must start the excavation
of the rubbish of the years.
It's interesting, the treasure
That's uncovered from the past
That reveals His precious promise
And sets me free at last.
So I face each fear in layers
Lifting one brick at a time
'Til I face the truth about me
And a destiny that is mine.

It's not someone else who thwarts  me,
No one else has that control
It's my own limitations
Hidden deep within my soul.
It's interesting to ponder
What the outcome now will be,
Since I've found the only person
who is stopping me..  is Me!
