Broken for so long as to not remember when my thoughts told me that I had the right to be less than so. My bones are bagged within my skin, to keep them from leaving a trail behind me. Protesting movement both forward and back they consistently rattle forth my distressed condition. I know that I asked so boldly, as to even give permission but Lord I knew not what I asked. More than broken, my crutch is gone, my strength in this world is missing; how will I withstand? Shall it be everlasting are my shattered pieces never to be made one? No. Please forgive my ageless asking for a piece of me is up there with You and choiceless am I to remain. Lord You have become my leaning Your presence, my yearning. Inhabited by fragility this broken world was not intended for eternity. In a state of brokenness I wait for the promise of a new world wherein fellowship with You and lost loved ones is unbroken. post note: the poem below was written one week before the death of my son....sigh... Break me Shattered, reeling, broken and begging questioning without answer; there is no clear reason. Added to my existing overload a feather would be unbearable so Lord You and I both know that this is one straw too many. The confusion is unarguable, so much there is that is not understood, but this I know, Your Word is Truth and You promised not more than I can take. Corrosion resists change. All choices eliminated, time crumples into silent weeping. Your answer is Grace and it is sufficient. Liquefied pain falls like rain and all that is I diminishes. Closed eyed, clarity and breathing gradually become consensual. Angered into boldness, previous hostility is now subdued into hushed pliability. Faith whispers Lord if break I must then... |

jellybeans I wish there was something I could say to make things ok for you, but there isn't. Each person must walk the road in there own way and speed. I do know one thing though...there is a light there...you are walking towards it.  |

When words hurt so much to read, my heart weeps for the load the writer is carrying... and when that writer is a beloved friend... *sigh* As painful as these are, they're also beautiful... but even more beautiful is your love and your faith. |
