A Year

It surprised her today, it has been nearly a year
The painful truths that made it unbearably clear
Dreadful signs lead to the only real choice
“This is not life, nor is it love” said her heart’s voice
She had hoped, she had prayed,
A different outcome began to fade
She had made countless pleas,
With her life on her knees.
Packing up a life with all its dreams
Trying to quiet her heart as it screams
Tears flowed freely as she took one last look
As to close the chapter in her life’s book
Her hands shook as she found her keys,
Doubt spoke loudly to sway and to tease.
A new life to begin she know not what,
She paused at the door then pulled it shut.
She began the drive to a safe place.
The stains of the tears marked her face,
A call came from a from miles away
The caller spoke truth as she made her way.
Fresh hope, new goals and dreams to believe
The hurt, pain and deception will leave
Time to heal, restore and to rest
To know that with Christ she is Blessed.
Nearly a year has passed how could it be?
She lived through the pain and is able to see
That day was a start and not the end
Her life is more whole, she is on the mend
The healing the comfort is hard to explain
The balm of His Peace applied on her pain
The questions the doubts, and fears are just
To remember His Love is to trust.

What I Hear

What I HearIs what I hear reality or some strange illusion? If the latter, may this not come to conclusion.
Shall I take the risk, do I open my eyes? Do I turn my head upward to see the skies?
To see the dark clouds have faded, And know the loneliness is abated.
If it be reality — these words are true, Fall on my dry heart like morning dew.
Drops of purity touch what’s forgotten, No longer so dry but as soft as new cotton.
To revive in me the heart to thirst, Allowing myself to be immersed.
To bring new life like the freshness of spring Forgetting winters passed – a new beginning.
The tone of his voice is balm to my soul Bringing new hope and desire that life stole
The gentle expression of love so pure He reminds me, I am safe and secure
The words conveyed are a like blanket wrapped round The warmth that I feel is like the sun all around
It place to desire, to search for It all begins with a door.
Revelation 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

Wake Me Not

“Oh, What Ecstasy As I Think Of The Glorious Encounter With My Prince.
Dare I Say It Is Real? Dare I Say That Is Dream Be Truth?
This Wonderful Man Would Be Placed On My Path To Notice a woman such as I?
Oh, If Be A Dream, Wake Me Not
Disturb Not My Fantasies. Allow Me My Dream.
Allow Me To Wander Through The Heart , Soul And Mind Of My Prince.
Please Be Silent As I Drift Into The Abandon Of His Love For Me.
As We Unite And Are Lost In The Current Of Emotion And Pleasure That Will Take Us To The Heavenly Place Of Peace, Serenity And Wholeness.
Oh That The Dream Would Continue,
That The Enchantment Linger A Bit Longer.
That I Might Tarry In The Sweet Fragrance Of Loves Passion,
Let It Not Evaporate Into The Wind Of Reality.
My Heart Has Tasted The Passion Of My Prince,
My Life Will Forever Be Changed.Hinder Me Not To Return To His Arms, To Be Nestled In His Embrace.
Oh Wake Me Not”

New Friends

On my Journey, I have found travelers like myself. I find strength in their company as I listen to their trials and experiences. Our hearts bare the scars of divorce, deception and dreams lost. Our words are to spur on one another to continue toward wholeness and peace. Not to look back, to wish for what was or should have been but to embrace what is and what is to come.
My new friends have many faces, their lifestyle are diverse and come from many places yet each must navigate this transition in their lives too. Some struggle with acceptance of where they find themselves, facing the death of dreams and hopes. Others are faced with shouldering responsibilities alone that are hard for two to handle. Still others are confronted with messy family and financial issues that bring weariness to the soul. My new friends need me as much as I need them. We must remember that we are stronger, more determined and powerful than we imagined.
A place to reflect and refresh
