Yesterday after posting Respecting Him I was tested in respecting my dad! I should have known, I should have been preparing for battle but I didn't even see it coming until it was too late, before I knew it I was caught up in the very thing I had just encouraged you girls to avoid. I feel so ashamed but I wanted to confess this to you all because I don't want you to think of me as Mary Poppins, "Practically Perfect in Every Way." I sin quite a lot and need forgiveness constantly. So Jesus....
I'm sorry for the things I done, the things I always do,
For taking my eyes off Heaven, for the sake of another view (myself).
I wish I loved I you as much as I say, I wish my heart worked that way,
But here's proof of my sinful heart, just another day!
And all I can say is guilty
And all I can plead for his mercy.
I have no other stand, except for Grace.
For How can I hope to live Holy, before such a righteous face?
My Only Hope is in You Jesus, to come and take my place.
My Only Hope in in you Jesus, to come and take my place.
I wrote this song after yet another bad day maybe a year or so ago.

Yeah, sometimes that happens to me too. I always think of it as God telling me that I have not arrived quite yet and giving me that reminder.
Love, Carolyn
P.S. I like your poem
