Poem~ "Not Another Day"



                       Good evening readers,I know its been awhile since I wrote in my blog and I apologize for that. This entry won’t be a regular entry I feel led to share with you another one of my poems to encourage your weary souls. I know that a lot of my IC and fibro and many suffering from chronic pain are dealing with a lot, their health is failing, and they feel overwhelmed, pressed down from so many different angles.
      Today my pain is so severe, I was late getting my period, and we know how that flares our IC, but I forced myself to go outside and just sit in the sun for a little bit. It was a time of refreshment and peace. The sky was so blue, as blue as can be, the sun was so warm on my face and the clouds so puffy. I then spent a hour just reading my bible, I felt the Holy spirit drench me with His peace. I put myself aside and focused on God. Then I felt so relaxed, thought he pain rages on, my spirit will not be crushed. I then wanted to share with you this poem to encourage your spirits, to lift you up, to reassure you all how lavishly our Heavenly Father adores his children.
                                                           “Not another Day”
     I lay here, you sit there. My body aches, the pain tries to break and ravish my body, trying to break my spirit. Another day I face, starring down this pain. My body feels as though its giving away, my spirit feels broken in two, oh what am I to do?
   I cry out in the middle of the night, all I hear is the loneliness of silence. Nothing seems to let up, cant I just give up this fight? Not another day of relentless pain. Then I feel His love wrap around my heart, I feel his touch in my spirit, I read the precious words of God, his peace fills me , falls on me like the gentle rain that falls from the heavens. In the midst of this storm somehow I feel his peace, when my life feels like it’s in chaos, his peace falls drenches me, his peace like the tranquility like the calm waters when I can see my reflection, water so still, my spirit is still in Him.
   Another day I face, but I can’t let this break me, Lord continue to use my pain, whatever that may mean, use my pain to touch my sisters lives, to not be  afraid to step into their pain, feel it as mine,  help them bear their burden, love on them, as YOU love on us.
    Even through this pain, I can find my blessings, another day I can say I’m thankful, thankful for my Lord who has never let go of me. Thankful He can use people in my life to bring me comfort, so I’m not focusing on my strife. Another day we all want this pain to just go away, Lord in the midst of this storm, let me look heavenward and see your rainbow of your promise, you will never leave or let go.  You are ever faithful. Another day to count my blessings, another day to see and appreciate all that so many take for granted. Another day to lift up and praise your Holy name Lord, another day to have my pain bring you glory, another day to count my many precious blessings. The end!

You all are blessings to me~ I thank God upon every remembrance of you! Its because of  you all that I do what I do~

I Give Permission

  Put away that smile and brave face. We are not required to stay strong, we all feel weak at times. There is no shame in this. There are more than enough days that I lay in bed and just cry, until I no long have tears to cry with. I cry because of the relentless pain, I cry because I want to be free of this monster that tried to wreck havoc on my body. It does to my body in many ways, but I refuse to let it do that to my soul. This is about giving ourselves room and permission to cry and to let it all out. I need to be honest with myself, I hate this I really do, and WE all do. It’s not fair it feels good to be real and raw and speak it the way it is. I know many of you will be able to relate to this. The day’s I’m bedridden, that’s tough. But I give myself permission to not be on top of it all. It’s ok to cry its ok to breakdown, I give you permission. I’m sure you’ve heard this before; TEARS are a cleansing to the soul and spirit. God gave us tears, it he wanted us to always ...

Poetry~ "Its In Moments Like This I Live For"

Another night of endless pain, hard to remember   the life i had before all this pain began, another night I face, the world sleeps as I lie awake thinking of another time, another place, a place far away from all the pain and the tears, if only I could go back so many years.     As I sit here with tears falling from my eyes I cling to the words I   know my Savior said” never will I leave you, never will I forsake you” its in moments like this I so desire to be wrapped up in the arms of my loving Lord.     Outside I can hear the river flow on by, and the small waterfall at the end. it’s the way I love to   begin and end my days, hearing the sound of God’s creation   the sound reaches into my soul I feel its echo through my body, I sense the peace and the tranquility it brings its in moments like this, amidst the pain that I live for.   Day after day as time ticks away, the hours slip by, they give away to days, days turn into weeks...
