Car Drama!

I don’t drive

Nope, I haven’t driven

An ugly paradox

Actually, a secret hidden

A dreadful monster that rears its head every time I think of climbing into the driver’s seat

However, it’s not what people may think

It’s a plague that’s haunted me from the beginning of "since I can remember..."

I’m at the mercies of

DWF: Driving While Fat

Will I look squished in the front seat

Will I even fit

And most frightening, will the seat belt click.

Yep, that’s it people

Why, I haven’t driven

Why my license still only grants “learners” provisions

But with God I know I can beat this stigma

Because now I finally want to drive

And begin freely, independent living!

Binge & Purge

I flip through the channels and watch people stuff their faces.

Donuts, cakes, chocolate and pounds and pounds of mayo!

Mayonnaise has begun to turn my stomach like never before,

As I watch people spoon heaping amounts of it into EVERYTHING!

Folks inside the "Idiot Box" have willingly given in to the pleasure of over indulgence;

And frankly, I’m repulsed!

Suddenly, I understand how God feels about the sin of gluttony.

I can’t be associated with this class of people…

I desire God to view me as: clean without spot or wrinkle

Not a white-shirt-wearing hypocrite who preaches the gospel while disguising,

Ketchup and burger stains.

Stains that dirty my outside with rolls and cellulite,

Clutter my arteries internally,

And clog me emotionally with guilt and depression and a recurring cycle of

LIES.

“Just eat the pizza and then pray for forgiveness later.”

“Just ignore the chest pains because we all gotta die sooner or later!”

But, today I say NO to temptations because I am utterly repulsed by my behavior

So, I humbly

Repent and make a vow that today I make better choices and run

As far away from those who give into

Mayonnaise binges and sugar highs

Because

I wanna live…

More like I GOTTA LIVE!

God has given me too much to say, and it’s not all yet shared…
