Rainbow

You provided today. 


So unexpectedly. 


So suddenly. 


Kindness showed up. 


I was so very thankful. 


Grateful. 


The terrifying hostility that shook me to my core afterwards, after the humanity, pails in comparison. 


You clothed us. 


You fed us. 


You sheltered us. 


And you protected us. 


Just in time. 


Everything that you have promised. 


Everything. 


Thank you my sweet Jesus for this lovely breath of fresh air that might not want to stick around. 


I can only live for today anyway. 


We are not promised tomorrow. 


For you will be back any time. 


Hopefully.  


I mean, have you seen the state this place you made is in?


It must break your already broken heart. 


Give me that heart too please. 


Help me forgive as you do. 


Love the way you love. 


See what you see. 


And while you’re at it, my sweet Jesus, please forgive heartbroken me.

He

I lost it.  Absolutely lost it.  I could not contain the tears.  The shaking.  The fears.  Feeling as if my whole world was collapsing at my feet.  Defeated.  But that cannot be.  I cannot allow this lack of belief.  I know with a certainty that my God is in control.  I must stop looking at the world and just trust.  Just trust.  God sees my desperation.  We are not living on the streets.  We are not without.  We may not have what we want, but we always have what we need.  I may feel defeated.  But that’s a lie coming straight from hell.  And my God is bigger than anything.  Even this horrendous heat.  So I lay everything at my sweet Jesus’ feet.  After all, He is in control  Not me.  No one.  Only Jesus.  He.

ODE TO MY SON’S CAT, PRINCESS DAISY, WHO SAVED ME

I have never been this calm and joyful my entire life.  All of it.  And it has been quite a bit and quite the fight.  I have the scars to prove it due to my twenty-two surgeries over these very long years.  And I am utterly delighted with that particular fact.  Because I am very proud to be able to say they are my battle scars.  My precious son calls me The Bionic Woman given all my lovely hardware holding me together.  Almost everywhere.  My head, neck, right arm and left ankle.  So you see, I happen to know a thing or two about miracles.  One of those is in my brain.  Insane! With the 18 screws, I look, without my hair, and I have been there a time or two, believe you me, quite like a big white took a hungry bite.  I shall never be the same.  Given the whole out of my body thing.  I know it may sound as if I might possibly be suffering from insanity to those lost souls who do not believe in miracles.  But I do ...

Forever

  Raped.  What other word could I possibly use to describe what he did to me? He lied.  Then he tried to get the better of me.  And he nearly did.  He stole    my hope. Joy.  Peace.  He stole a part of me.  But I won’t let him steal my faith.  No possible way.  Jesus is my Savior.  Forever.  Despite everything, He carries me.  I run to him and there He is.  Arms open wide.  A big smile on His beauteous face  Waiting for His hurting child.  Always.  To the very end of my tumultuous broken life.
