We moved from our little farm
When I was in junior high
And adjusting to the move-
Leaving special friends behind-
Sometimes made me cry.
The new school was different
No friends known from the cradle there
It took time to make new best friends
With whom to share.
I met some wonderful friends
And loved where God had planted me
But it took a bit of time
To appreciate each new opportunity.
I found myself praying often
Many times throughout the day
Asking God to be with me
And take the strangeness away.
I remember apologizing to God
For taking up so much of His time
Constantly asking Him
To keep me in His will divine.
Then one day I rejoiced
Almost to weeping
When I read in His Word
That I was to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING!
It changed my life in one fell swoop
Jut knowing that with God it was ok
If I wanted to stay close to HIM
It was ok to pray all day!
