Searching

Ecclesiastes 6:11 

11 Since there are many things that increase vanity,
How is man the better?

 

 

Searching deeper to understand what is laying on the surface

Living by faith not needed here ... just do what appears right

Need a good excuse right now ... a reason and a purpose

to procrastinate as usual to lighten my chosen plight

 

How do I get so often where I don’t want to be?

Why do I volunteer so fast for where I’m not requested?

Do I want to be the first for others to observe and see?

To be placed on a pedestal ... for pride, for joy, so tested?
