Summing up how I feel...

I am still working through it all, I do see hope, I do see a light, a friend (BL) sent scripture that was perfect...we are choosing to stand on these...

Isaiah 43:13
13 Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?"

Isaiah 58:8
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

This poem is my human side...how I am feeling. I haven't written (or shared) a poem in a long time...so bare with me...

Mind is screaming
Heart is dreaming
Mouth is silent

Hot water rushes down
Take my pain and let it drown

Wake me up from this nightmare
Take me from this life unfair

Innocence taken away
Too soon why can't it stay?

Dreaming of a better tomorrow
Hoping for refuge from this sorrow

Praying that God will intervene
Turn our heads from what we've seen

Show us that there is a light
Let us see His strength, His might

Thankful for a life so small
Changing lives around us all

Mind is screaming
Heart is dreaming
Mouth is silent.

  1. That was a great poem. It's not wrong to express ourselves, don't feel guilty for feeling down.

    You've been in a war and if soldiers don't get tired after being in battle, then they're robots, but there's a difference between lying down and giving up.

    Moses couldn't keep his own arms up (he was tired), he needed someone else to come along side him to help him out, so that the job could get done.

    I want to be your Aaron. Most of us don't know what it's like to be in your shoes but we can help hold you up. Tell us when you're tired, need a rest, need help. There are some days when words of encouragement aren't enough - where hands and feet are needed. I'm here, awaiting instructions.

  2. on a different level but so much the same I SO get where you are coming from, we just got bad news about jason, I feel like crawling into a small small hole, it takes so much just to get thru the day.
    just when you think you see light at the end of the tunnel.... it disappears! so I am thinking of you love your poem! and it's good that you are getting it all out!
