Every time I lament about not being good enough
I invalidate the truth that the price Jesus paid on the cross was enough

And no woman,
It is definitely not the perfectly contoured YouTube tutorial face that makes you beautiful

I think as tweets or instagram stories.
My thoughts are no more mine,
I must always write them down.
They don’t belong to my mind,
No longer do they exist only in my life,
My phone must always be close in hand

“she’s so sure of herself”
“she’s so controlled”
“she knows what she wants”
“she makes her own way”
“she chooses her own path”
“she’s so independent”

I don’t mind waiting
I don’t mind waiting
I don’t mind waiting, on you Lord

But can we wait?
Do we know what it means to wait?
