When asked how he made his statue of David, Michelangelo responded, "It is easy. You just chip away the stone that doesn't look like David."

this is my battle. this is my struggle.

its painful to be chiseled into who You say I am.

its hurtful to let go of the old and step into the new.

i remember the old. and she cripples me.

i find my freedom in You. meet me here, Lord.

don't keep me prisoned by what has already been nailed to the cross.

i am running after truth.
