Declaring Identity (change is simply the process of transformation)

Ask yourself this: Do you believe that what you believe is really real?

this is something i wrote.

here are the words :

I've tried and tried to understand
to come up with a plan.
A solution, an ending
resulting in relief..

But i can't make it happen with these two hands.
So, I'm trusting in the one i cannot see.
The one who's truth
Comforts grief.

He freely gave His love to me.
And as i accept
Step by step
It's given me that shove

That push that drive
That passion

To remove the scales from my eyes.
open them up and realize
See as He sees

See me
as He sees...
Clean.

The dirt and grime
built up over time
now broken down
the river released

a new creation i stand
a new woman, new hands
new feet.
i humbly take my place as one deceased

living now free
His breath flowing in
and out of me

I step up to the plate
breathe in deep
knowing this is who He has called me to be
and speak:::


World,

I will not be swayed by that which you claim to offer.
I won't be hypnotised by your lies
Overcome by your ability to persuade
to manipulate
I won't be.

You call me a flower,
but you fail to specify
what color?
which kind am i?

When you look at me,
Do you really see me?
In here, deep?

There's more to me than meets the eye.
More than just a touch or a feel.
A fragrance so sweet, you couldn't even begin to analyze

Here's the Truth, Here's what's really real:

I was called
even before you knew my name.
every letter, set in it's purposed place.

M I A
C H R I S T I N E
S H U M A K E

My name.
and only mine.
Serves to the purpose of identification
given me by the Most High.

You are correct
I am a flower..
Betcha didn't know i was a rose
of Sharon, that is;
a lily of the valley.

I've taken on His name, my beloved's
And in so doing,
Broken free of every single hold you've had on me.
I tear down
every label
every chain
every name

and put on the garment of praise.

Watch me dance, watch me sing, lift my hands and shout.
my heart leaps for the one i can't live without.

the one in whom i define myself.

enjoy? (=
