Faithfully Free.

I am somewhere inbetween
The courageous woman I aspire to be
And the recoiled girl I once was;
Still learning the definition of my name.

I am somewhere inbetween
A seasoned past
And a brilliant future;
Caught in the spell of today.

The uncertainty of what's ahead
Beckons me to stand still.
Temptation creeps up
Not as to lure me in -
For that would require movement -
But rather, to remain ever still,
And ever silent.

I look up to the One who defines me
And I look forward, never returning
To the way life used to be.
Now my heart is faithfully free.

Each new second is my future
To the one before it.
You say I am a new creation.
Hallelujah, my future begins now!
