Happy Wednesday before Easter. I hope your family is able to enjoy this week if you celebrate Passover, Easter, Earth Day, 89er Day, or just the arrival of the Sunday Times.
Without going into a long whine, I will say; our family has taken another shot to the jewels. The temptation is to throw a pity party. The BIGGER temptation is to let the bitterness wash over me like a wave. To indulge in claiming my right to my anger.
Can I keep the temptation from coming? No.
Can I, this one time, choose to stand? Yes.
I am standing. For today.
Another day, I may be crushed (Another day, I will wallow around on the floor whining and putting my sneakers on the sofa and looking at God with one eye to see if He is appreciating my drama.)….
That was yesterday.
Today, picture me, belly down.
On the floor.
One eye peeping…
to make sure the Father is still aware.
I know what I am supposed to do.
but it is more than I am made of
to hold back my feelings.
Like a three year-old.
When I hurt,
I say, ‘OW’.
Even though, I know…
Healing is coming.
Alright, did you write that poem? Because it is freaking amazing! I'm sorry y'all have taken another hit, but what comes out of you when you do is something wonderful. Stand up and dust yourself off. You've got this.
I'm sorry that you are going through a rough time. Sending you prayers!
Sometimes it is perfectly okay to throw your hands up and have a bit of a pity party… If that's what it takes to move on. Good luck, and have a great weekend!
Sometimes Ow needs to be said
I've found that writing through my troubles makes me feel better. It's cheaper than therapy! I'll pray for the Lord to give you the strength through this tough time.
