Today. Yesterday. Future.

Today. Yesterday. Future.
I have felt the pain.
I have seen the destruction.
I have witnessed the demoralization.


I have watched them flee.
The pain of no one there.
The debilitating thought of trusting.


Yet, I have learned.
There is  One who holds my past, present and future.
However, I hold it close to my vest, like I think I can control it.


Fear is  crippling.
I did not do enough.
Was I ever enough?


So many questions.
God.
My only true supporter.


He wants me.
Even when the others do not.


Why do I run from Him?
This is who I am.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.


Why can’t anyone see that?
I want to quit fighting.
I want to give up.


Yet, my Father in Heaven keeps pulling me back.
Why?


Each day is anew.
I know this.
However, each day I breathe, is one more breath
I know soon I will not take.


Fear of death used to cripple me.
Now...I have learned…
No matter what I do, say or become…
I have been judged.


The pain will subside….maybe. I am only human. But...
My destiny only depends on the One that controls it.

And I pray I will be in the kingdom of no
more tears or pain.


Till then….head down, pray, and hope.


Love, Hope and Blessings…

In Him Alone-

Empty

Will I ever feel normal? Will I always be on the outside looking in? I never feel like I belong, and my gut continues to tell me all I say is wrong. Why couldn’t there have been just one? One that truly loved me so… Will this empty pit ever be gone? As I sit here alone, I know that is where I belong. I don’t understand any other way… What am I supposed to say? I feel the pressure sitting on my chest.. Why can’t I fit in like all the rest? I am hiding the tears because I have to be strong… I cannot be weak because than I truly do feel like a freak. I am trying not to feel sad, but it is so hard when all I feel is bad. Life will continue to move on, but I hope that I figure this out before I am long gone.

Life as I knew it....

Lost. Confused. Hurt. So many emotions that have consumed most of my life, and have become again intensely prevalent in the last year. When I re-read my journals, writings, posts….I see a trend. I see the problems, but nothing changes. I can’t say I have not grown, matured, and learned the patterns, but there are still the same themes. Love. It is elusive, self-serving, and ambiguous to me. I don’t know if that will ever change, and it scares me. It may sound trivial to many, but when it is not afforded to you as a young child, it does affect your ability to grasp the complexity of it, and create healthy relationships. 2016, like 1983, changed the course of my life. 2016 was a year of a 20 year marriage ending. 2016 was a year of losing the last of familial relationships, I thought I might have. 2016 was a year of my 4 beautiful children experiencing excruciating pain and the broken illusion of a happy family. I would be lying if I said I have not felt like I was the worse failure...

His grace & mercy

Today was an amazing day. I love my God & King, & the blessings I have daily. Speaking today was an honor & a great remembrance for what would have been my moms 57th birthday. I feel humbled & amazed at what God has done in & through my life. His love & mercy is so amazing. I feel peace I have not felt before. I am His & He is mine. Jeremiah 29:11
