High stakes
Well, life ain’t always easy, is it? We recently had a nasty bout of the endless flu, different projects and endeavors of ours are in the up-in-the-air stage, and I find it particularly not-fun to be struggling to pay the bills. It just doesn’t feel very “idealistic”. But He never said it would be easy, did he? He said he’d help us make it through… and He always does. We got an 800 USD donation this month to cover the rent, and I’m particularly jazzed about an idea to give seminars to the local police, as they are under-paid, dishonest and often times angry at society. Please pray we can get the government permission and necessary sponsorship for this!
Anyway, the other day I was listening to STEM’s new album, and the song “High Stakes” gave me the boost I needed. It’s a fight, but I’m learning to love it.
So, we’ll go!
We’ll learn to love the fight.
No compromise in our minds.
We will give our lives
for right, for light,
for swiftly comes the night.
We dedicate each breath we take,
to win, ’cause there’s high stakes,
for all our sakes.
…
Life of sacrifice is not the way that I would describe it.
We’re free -don’t need all the things that they can’t live without.
Though we’re weak, and fear to taste defeat,
we know the keys will bring us victory.
