I'm Gonna Have A Little Talk With Jesus

As sung by Randy Travis

I'm gonna have a little talk with Jesus
When I get home tonight
Gonna tell him all about my troubles
And I know he'll make them right
Then I'll ask him to forgive me
For the things that I've done wrong
Gonna have a little talk with Jesus
Tonight when I get home

This world can be a struggle
Just livin' day to day
You'll run into the devil
With every step you take
I've seen his face a hundred times
As he tried to lead me wrong
He don't understand
That I don't walk this road alone

I'm gonna have a little talk with Jesus
When I get home tonight
Gonna tell him all about my troubles
And I know he'll make them right
Then I'll ask him to forgive me
For the things that I've done wrong
Gonna have a little talk with Jesus
Tonight when I get home

Lord said I could call on him
When ever I feel low
Any time or place I needed him
He would gladly go
My life has not been perfect
No matter how I try
But he's never turned his back on me
And that's the reason why

I'm gonna have a little talk with Jesus
When I get home tonight
Gonna tell him all about my troubles
And I know he'll make them right
Then I'll ask him to forgive me
For the things that I've done wrong
Gonna have a little talk with Jesus
Tonight when I get home

I'm gonna have a little talk with Jesus
When I get home tonight
Gonna tell him all about my troubles
And I know he'll make them right
Then I'll ask him to forgive me
For the things that I've done wrong
Gonna have a little talk with Jesus
Tonight when I get home

I'm Gonna have a little talk with Jesus
Tonight when I get home


It's been a day of problems. We discovered that we have a rat in the classroom. Missie cornered it in the bathroom closet and Mr. Tucker put out glue traps. I had to wrestle with Taylor today and messed up my back some again. Corey wasn't feeling well and I wound up picking up that 13 year old boy to hold in my lap. Messed my back up even more. Found out Barry refused to let Dr. Burger do blood tests on his cholestrol or blood sugar. When I picked him up I could smell the dirty clothes that he keeps putting back on. Later when I got home I found two messages on my answering machine from Country Cottage. Mom broke her brand new bed. Then the payee and I spoke. I've got to get the house on the market to be auctioned or sold soon. She wants to be able to put Mom's money toward her new apartment and let the old house go. I also learned that she had deposited Mom's money in my account but the bank has not recognized the deposit yet. I'll have to go to the bank tomorrow and see what I can do. Problems, problems everywhere. And yet I am not stressed.

I called to talk to my sponsor and told her of all that had happened today.Sometimes it doesn't pay to get out of bed. Marian told me that she wished she had a magic wand to fix everything that was wrong with me. I told her that I wasn't her problem to fix (she actually thanked me for saying that) and that the things going on now are a piece of cake compared to what my life used to be. My life used to be utter chaos. I don't know if my life has changed or if my attitude toward my life has changed. At any rate I'm at peace and content. I don't worry so much about the things going on around me because I'm powerless to change any of them. I've got to just ride them out until they are manageable.

I've heard of Kodak moments. Maybe this is my gratitude moment.
