- I can not upgrade a wastewater treatment plant
-theoretically, for my design class

-that does not commit to accomplish our goals - I can not design a water treatment system, and build it
-write detailed analysis of the treatment principles used
-while managing budgets, renting cars, registering people - I can not lead a worship team that does not put in effort
-not striving to learn
-to take initiative
-to look beyond themselves to serve the community
-to explore worship beyond music, and be willing to share - I can not solve racial tension
-be a scape goat for thousands
-solve the problems that apply to you
-watch you sit idly as I tackle the problem of the centuries
-that actually apply more to you than me - I can not write poetry on what it means to be me

I can not carry the weight of the world
I can not do everything I want to do
I can not do everything you want me to do
I can not solve all your problems
I definitely can not solve all my problems.
But
I can do my best
I can strive to be the best friend, support, man that I can be
and I can trust. In something greater than me.
Because only He can give me strength to make it through.
and I pray.
and pray
and pray
hey, i bet you could share this too.
