Stubborn And A Little Bit Scared

I was prompted to write this after seeing an article on Utmost Christian Writers…

I AM STUBBORN AND A LITTLE BIT SCARED

I am stubborn and a little bit scared
I wonder why my body is this old, but my heart is not
I hear timing ticking by, sometimes by the second
I see the past, as well as the future
I want to be right in the center of God’s will
I am stubborn and a little bit scared.

I pretend sometimes that I really am grown up
I feel like the needle in the haystack
I touch the hands of time with every breath
I worry about far too much, I know
I cry when something touches my soul
I am stubborn and a little bit scared.

I understand that there is reason and order to everything
I say God’s Word, because it is alive
I dream of things I want to accomplish with all my heart
I try to be better today than I was yesterday
I hope one day, to accomplish that one thing
I am stubborn and a little bit scared.
