“Desperation” by Allen Paul Weaver III
Here’s a piece I wrote back in 2007. I think it may speak to where some people may feel themselves to be today.
Why Do People Unplug?
If you are seeking to live life to its fullest then this is a question for you.
Jesus gives the call in Luke chapter 9, verse 23: Then He said to [them] all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”
In our daily lives, what causes us to unplug from God? Why do we do it? And how does that affect the outcome of our destiny when we do?
Are you a caged soul? In what ways do you feel trapped in life? What are you doing to work towards freedom? Here’s a video of a poem from my book, Transition: Breaking Through the Barriers, that deals with this very topic. Be encouraged. Freedom is available for you.
This is my greatest struggle in life… to overcome mediocrity.
I feel myself constantly at the window of opportunity… able to look out but unable to fully break through.
On the other side of that window is an existence I have imagined my whole life - every day - every breath - every heartbeat…
Even now as I write - tears fall from my eyes because I know the desire is strong to be free.
