Lunch Time

Another day passes on where life continually throws its hurdles at my undermanaged mind. I sit there thinking, pondering, wondering how long it will finally take for me to realise the time it is. Sitting, wishing, and waiting while the rush of students to the cafeteria creates the sound of a spinning tornado.
I sit there unable to comprehend the current situation I stop. Silence. Somehow in the raging chaos of the lunch hour, I’ve come to a peaceful stop in my mind. I press my palms together and pray “Oh my Lord, You are stronger”. I open my eyes renewed, excited, passionate and ready for the task ahead.

Time goes by tick tock, tick tock I continue the task at hand and soon realise I am running out of time. I begin to hasten my tempo in an act of desperation to finish my mission. Thoughts running through my head “I can’t, I can’t”. I stop and breakdown with frustration and anger towards my tormented soul. Crouched up in the corner I wait in hope of a way out something just to take it away and in that moment of distress I hear a sweet serenade to my ears “You will.”

Once again I stand up with my equipment at hand ready to take down the beast. I work at it, time grows short, and regardless I persevere continually telling my self “I can, I will”. I pushed through the desert and found myself at a blissful oasis relaxed relieved that it was finally over.
“Beep Beep” I get up and go. Ready for the last periods of my day, I stand strong reiterating to myself over and over “He can, He can”. Why? Because He did.

I find strength in the one who gave me strength first.

“You are my strength,
Strength like no other,
Strength like no other,
Reaches to me.” –Hillsong
