When the day is done,
When the curtain closes,
Will I prove to be the one You saved me for?
Will I be seen as “upholding your will”?
Will I have given everything I had for Your name?

When the lights go down,
When the air becomes cool,
Will my decisions have reflected my devotion?
Will my heart prove obedience?
Will I be less
and You be more?

When I lay down to rest,
When my life is laid bare,
Will Peace blanket my face?
Will I be found dethroned?
Will my crown be cast
with no emphasis on it’s number of jewels?

When the day is done…

What will You see…?

Please, may my integrity attest faithful devotion

…when the day is done.

So me and my sandpaper throat are headed to work today. I’ve packed my little medicine bag, dressed in my layers, and brought enough money for a noodle cup for lunch. (A whole whoppin’ $0.59!)

But no matter what I feel like today, I am so blessed to be alive today.

The Lord has blessed me with this breath and even though it can be so easy to get into a rut of feeling sorry for yourself because you feel ucky… I have still been called to share the love of Christ. And people at work are not in any less of a need to feel Christ’s love than they were yesterday.

So, I’m grabbing my scarf and my cough drops and heading out to serve my Lord.

I’m no hero… just finally stepping up to the plate instead of choosing to ride the bench.

I love you, Jesus. May today bless your name.
