The Spider

Peace be still... peace be still.. to know that He is God...

Sometimes, it's hard to find a place.. where you can find peace. From all the noise.. so I found a place. Removing myself.. to be alone. When taking a bath. It's a place where I can close my eyes, and pray. Say all I have to say.. sometimes I cry out to Him.. sometimes it's me.. that's hearing from Him...

It might sound hard to believe. But you know when a thought.. is like a voice ringing out in your ear.. to hear..

As I lay there in the bathtub.. I saw a spider. At first.. I thought to kill it. But a voice in my thoughts said.. "No, you should watch it." As it climbed up the curtain, it became certain.. that it needed to reach the top.. of the rod. As I watched this, this is what I saw. He kept climbing and falling.. used his web.. to get back on track. Sometimes he'd fall.. further than before.. and I started to think.. he would never make it. (Won't make it).. Sometimes, he just be still and sit. (I'd wait..) He get half way there. Then fall.. start all over, (over again), and I couldn't believe how I started to care.. (really care) if he'd make it. I started to think.. he better hurry up.. before I get out.. cause it would be too late. (Too late) For him to make it... (make it), and that's when his story really hit me...

Gods watching us.. no matter how many times we fall. Sometimes, we open His book, get a little closer.. look.. than fall all over again.. pull further away from Him. Yet He waits.. for our sake. For us to get it right.. (can we get it right) to see His light. To pull us out of the dark. But one day.. it will be times up.. (we better hurry up) He will come. Are we ready.. really ready... (get ready)...

This may be a silly story of a spider.. but..

Let me tell you.. about this spider.. it was just in the nick of time.. just when I stood up to get out.. he climbed right up.. all the way to the top. And.. I rejoiced.. (rejoiced) you made it.. you really made it. It was like a parable.. (parable) And that's when I realized... God wants that for me.. to be able to say.. you made it.. you really made it.. really made it... you made it... (I want to make it)....
