If the Birds Can Sing After the Storm,So Can I~



    Have you ever watched a storm roll in? The sky gets dark overhead and the trees turn inward and the wind starts to blow. The sky opens up and the rains pour down. Then the lightning flashes across the skyline and the thunder crashes. It’s beautiful, but its strong and it’s a powerful demonstration of Gods beautiful creation. That’s how I feel at times dealing with my IC, I know that’s how all of us feel at times, like were living in a storm, and were trying to hold on even amidst the storm!
   Found a quote that I love and it says “God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us in the dreariest and most dreaded moments can see the possibility of HOPE! So Here is a poem that I wrote a short one that describes OUR STORM~
                                                         “My Storm will pass”
     I feel the pain, I feel the rain. I feel the storm is coming in I can’t control what my days or future holds, but I can brace myself for the rains .I hold on, though my winds blow, I press on though I want to just lay down and not try at times. I know the storm it won’t last forever, though this pain may not end, the thoughts I feel at times, the moments I want it all to end, there are brighter days ahead, I know the rains will stop falling, I know that nothing can grow without a little rain and if the birds can sing after the storm clouds pass, why oh why can’t I? We can, we dont have to forget the words to the beauty around us! My storm will pass, the sun will shine again. I’m learning how to dance through the raindrops that fall, and make the best of what I’ve been given. When my storm passes over and I have regained my strength, I can pass on that hope that I have to another that I know is hurting? Our storms won’t last forever, for the creator of all the universes’ can calm the raging sea and calm the storm raging inside of me. The end~
     Yes that sums up how our pain, how IC can feel to our lives, but even a midst the pain, a midst the storm, there is beauty that bursts forth! Like Vincent Van Gogh says” There is peace even in the storm”

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 ...

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...
