Be patient with me, I'm still learning. I don't have it all figured out.
When I was a kid, I thought I did, but everything's different now.
Don't push me too far, too fast. I'm already hard on myself.
These are truths that must come with time and not from somebody else.
What is God? What is life? What is love? You seem to know it all.
I'm asking my questions, taking a chance and I'm not afraid to fall.
Don't be critical and expect me to thank you. Don't rob me of my journey.
In due time I will reach my conclusions. I will be where I need to be.
My heart is in the right place. Whether you agree or not.
I'm standing tall, my face to the wind, I'm giving it all I've got.
So let your mind rest easy. Don't need to cry for me.
Cry for yourself and all the others who go through life so blindly.
I'm risking it all, to find the truth, I cannot just conform.
And I will stand, knowing who I am, what and Who I'm living for.

Beautiful. Is it ok if I quote you and link to this?
So well said. Is it original? If so, double well said! Take all the time you need. No hurry. It's your life. Nothing..... nothing happens out of God's time. You can't rush God's timetable and you'll know when it's right. There's nothing as sure as an idea who's time has come. Blessings to you!
Hi Erin! Absolutely!!
Don, yes, I wrote this after receiving an e-mail from Jays Grandfather- a retired SDA Pastor and Conference Pres. He is concerned about my salvation because I'm not warming a pew every week. In his opinion, by turning my back on the organized chuch, I have bailed myself from the liferaft and am now treading water with the condemned. His words, though well-meaning were hurtful and this poem was my response...
I wrote a post about this. Hope it's OK.
Hi,
I came here via Erin's blog post. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing such stunning words. It's like you have read the minds of so many of us on this journey. I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to link up to this post?
Excellent. I can really relate. It's almost as if you were writing about my own experiences.
ahhh... your words make my heart happy!
Thanks to everyone who has read and responded- it blesses me.
Anyone is welcome to use anything I write or link to it.
I believe God is One Who appreciates gut-level honesty.
