I ran across something that I wrote 11 years ago. It’s always intriguing to read some of what I was thinking and feeling back then and how much I have changed since then (and yet how much I remain the same).

I don’t remember the circumstances behind what I wrote. I don’t remember much of anything about March 12, 2010. I may or may not have gone to work that day. It may or may not have been a good day. All I know is that what I wrote speaks to me and will hopefully speak to you.

Here’s a blast from the past:

When I am alone and nobody seems to care,
Lord, You know my name.
When I am ignored in a crowd,
Lord, You know my name.
When I am screaming inside with a smile on my face,
Lord, You know my name.
When I have one more step left in me before I quit,
Lord, You know my name.
When I have all that I want and am still empty,
Lord, You know my name.
When I forget You and walk away from Your promises,
Lord, You know my name.
When I am in heaven and see You waiting for me there,
Lord, You know my name.
For it is written in stone and on Your heart.
