Stay the course


I must remember I am not my own
I have been bought with a Price
I have no say...only to obey

I have been in an interesting spot the past few years.
Ive been given a "post" seemingly just to "hold ground"

So many ideas,
So frustrating at times,
My hands are idle
My mouth is silent
My time is simply spent..

I go before my Commander and chief
He looks up as if to say "why are you here?"
Marnie you know you will hear Me when I call
You will be called when its time

but not before 

I think of it as being sent onto a foreign field
no one has asked me for my opinion
I signed up and
I just follow instruction,

There is a Board of Three that oversees my deployment
They are experts at what They do
They make no mistakes'
They watch intently and They send ground troops to occupy until They say otherwise,

Sometimes I see glimpses of the enemy
but more often than not what I perceive is complacency.
It's scary knowing there is an enemy lurking not far away

Yet again Ive been given no orders to "do" anything..
just occupy

So I grow in submissiveness
in perseverance
in being faithful

I must not become one of the civilians that
I serve

As an ambassador of sorts 
I pray
I encourage
I counsel only when Im asked

So friends
Its not about what WERE DOING
Its about
OBEYING


How you doing?
