I went to sleep sunken hearted.

I've been asking God for a poem. A poem, a poem God. I was asked to write and read a poem for our Big Easter Service, with our two churches merging. And have been wrestling for the last month.
The other night I was trying, doind my usual way of writing which is very cut and paste, and pulling pieces from here and there. but no, I wanted a whole poem, a whole message. I wanted it to be as God does, where He gives you the whole thing. where he gives you the whole package. i had such little faith. i didn't think it was going to happen. The night before i went to sleep sunken hearted, fading from trying to pull something out of my poem that just wasn't working.

Then at 3:30 in the morning I woke up out of the blue, i was awake. I thought, "Ok God let's Go." And I sat there, and the poem poured through. I took the platform of what I had. And really I wrote in this way i have never written before. He did it!
