Toddling Baby Steps

    1
    I want so badly to leap forward in progress.
    To all at once fully submit to my Lord's will.
    Baby steps though are all I manage to access.
    And forgiving myself again becomes my pill.

    3
    Yes I am striving,
    reaching out to find Him.
    sometimes His caring
    empowers my light so dim.

    5
    I am unable to do this thing, striving,
    Unable to his will, fully submit
    But am reminded that by allowing
    Him to carry me, the doing will fit.

    7
    The spirit whispers
    3 strengthening words:
    "Ask your sponsor."
    Men are used by the Lord.

reminded of my Heavenly Father's patience.
Again I am reminded of infinite love,
I falter in emulating Christ's countenance.
I, as usual, impatiently push and shove

4
Toddling baby steps;
but short strides lengthen,
when I allow helps,
from others with addictions.

6
The pity trips I go on, my human failures,
He can make up for. He can cleanse, and atone
Can I allow it, trusting His lighting fixtures?
allowing his human helpers on the phone.

Toddling baby steps;
but short strides lengthen,
when I allow helps,
from others with addictions.
