Poetry ~ A Slave’s Prayer

’cause [ LJ User: caitriona ] was a doll and said I could share:

A Slave’s Prayer

From my knees, I ask with all of my heart…
Grant me the strength to submit to Him
Without fear or doubt – only with love in my heart
Grant me the ability to make His will my own
Even when I cannot understand the reasons
Grant me the wisdom to know silence and
To always speak with humility and respect
Grant me serenity in my service to Him
That my joy may become His
Grant me the ability to bring Him
Comfort and pleasure in His use of my body
Grant me the grace to accept punishment
In a manner befitting of the woman He owns
That I reflect well on Him in every moment
Allow me to accept Him as He has become
To change what I am to what He desires
Without losing the girl that He chose to make His
Grant me the ability to inspire Him and
To bring light to guide our way on this journey
But more than anything else, I ask
Grant me my greatest desire
To make His life complete
As He makes mine

Hopefully someone that wakes up one day and realizes they’re not afraid to take the journey, someone that knows…[t]hat anger, like growth, comes in spurts and fits, and in its wake, leaves a new chance at acceptance, and the promise of calm…”

Eeep!

We have a cat next door. He’s a fat one, too.

One night I was sitting outside smoking a cigarette and saw this mass of fur moving down the driveway. We’d seen a raccoon lurking in a tree not too long before, so I got a lil nervous and had to turn the light on. It was just the cat out prowling.

I ended up being awake at 4:30 or so this morning, so I went out to smoke a cigarette and something similar happened.
