The Workout

Yay! It's Day 2 of my 30 in 30 journey. I won't be long winded but I hope you enjoy as always :-)

"The Workout"

My heart is beating out of my chest
This cardio's killing me
An inch turns into a mile with you
I'm winded but I'm pushing through
There's a lot more that I have to do
Running isn't my thing
Especially when the treadmill has me in the same place
I'm unsure of the pace that you're trying to go
I'll just take it slow
After all we're just warming up
Now it's time to tone up
But you won't pick the phone up
So 100 pound weights are left on my shoulders
Focused && determined to push past the pain
Striving for a positive end result
Sweat beads form and my muscles pulse
This is a workout
I just hope that things work out
That we both put the work in
Release some endorphins
End up happy
Healthy.
Fit.
That's why I won't quit
I'm trying to stay dedicated
During yoga I meditated
Sometimes I get frustrated
But that's what cool down is for
I take time to breathe
Let off some steam
Rest & relaxation
So my heart can stop racing
No more running after your love
I'm tired out
But it's been worth the weight
When I see your face
It's worth the wait
The end product is beautiful
My goal is met
We made progress
Us working out together is always a success.

Agape

Helloooooooooooo everyone!! So today I begin something that I've been wanting to do for a while. [30 Days of Poem/Prose] I'll be writing a piece a day and posting them all for your viewing pleasure. Shouts to Shane & Monica for joining me on this journey! We're gonna have a lot of fun. So anywhoo lol in writing this first piece, I saw it only fitting to dedicate it to the love of my life, Jesus Christ. Without Him, I know that nothing is possible and since I could speak of His love and mercy forever, the topic came sort of easy to me. So this is the first piece of many and I hope that you enjoy!

"Agape"

Thankfulness
It's what envelopes me
I'm totally
Mentally && spiritually
Focused on You
My EVERYTHING
The reason I sing
Tears brought to my eyes; The sweetest melody
Living in me
G-O-D
Gratefulness
Is what I have for Him
Cleansing me from within
Loving me [despite my sin]
Unconditionally
I don't deserve all the blessings He continually
Bestows upon me
A lowly Human doing wrong daily
But He steadily gives me chance after chance
&& I take any opportunity to praise His name
Faithfulness
Is all He asks of me
The least I can do
Is try to walk like You
Talk like You
Live in You
I long to be filled with Your spirit
Your grace is sufficient
Only You can make me feel this way
So I pray
With Steadfastness
Seeking Your face to be in Your presence
I want to feel You
A never ending euphoria
Filled with the glory of
The King of Kings
Jehovah Jairah-- My SOLE Provider
I'm NOTHING without You
Brokeness
Knowing that I can call on You
In the darkest of hours
All praise, honor && power
Belongs to MY God
My Staff && My Rod
The Solid Rock on which I stand
The very Beginning and the ONLY End
The time I spend with Him is incomparable
Through Him all things are possible
I'm a witness to what He can do
Striving to be more like His Son
Bowing down in amazement at all He has done
Righteousness
I need it to live eternally
Walking with Thee
By Your bleeding side
Where no pain resides
Milk && honey sounds great to me
I can't && I won't wait to be
Saved by Your grace & washed in His blood
Forever grateful to know the greatest love
Agape.
