Stability

Staying on the straight path offers stability and confidence.
He holds us up when times are challenging, and we need support.
"Nothing is wasted" is a popular saying, however it doesn't always
seem so whilst trudging through the mud and mire.  
"He is my defense and I shall not be moved!   Selah.

New Life

When you think you cannot move forward
special grace comes to move you on.

There is no other way to gain experience
then to live life and weather the outcome.

To not take risks is to not live. 
This is not an option.

Doing what is necessary to heal my heart.
To go to any length to be emotionally healthy is "key".

Mountain Range

We are always looking up or across to the mountain view. 
Sometimes we have the relief of standing on top of it.
Though this is not everyday life, when we are on top,
we are so blessed!   However, it is in the valley that we

are changed and transformed into the Master's image.

Betrayal

It's amazing how much we can go through in our lives and still remain sane.
We strive to be emotionally healthy, so as not to let our inner person drift
off into despair.  Adonai, you are the only One who can keep me in the light
when darkness falls around me.   I look to you for comfort and restoration. 

Devastation

Pressing through the shrapnel, trying to find my feet again.
Holding onto God with all that I am.  Desperate for healing and restoration.
Starting over.  Not wanting to partner with bitterness or anger.
Forgiveness is the first step.  Selah. 

Heart Cry

Continually going to the cross of suffering, clinging to the only One
who can make a difference in my soul.
Holding on for dear life, knowing He's my steadiness beneath my feet.
Taking each step forward in faith that He will meet me and carry me through. Selah.

Beloved Cross

As each nail went into His hands, He knew the Glory of God was set before Him.
His Joy was in knowing that He was the author of Life, and His choice to go to
His cross would redeem human kind.   He knew He would be seated at the right
hand of the Father in Heaven.   He has done it all, and so we have life! 

I know I am alive when I hurt.   Though I want to disconnect from all of my sadness,
I know I cannot for any length of time, for then I would be emotionally dead.   That
is not an option for me.   It was for many years.  I knew no other way.  
I have run after my healing, and I must hold onto it.   My emotions are a blessing.

To love is to hurt.   It is stepping out in courage to let another person's heart in.
I am glad I am alive in my heart, but I don't enjoy the pain.   Learning to grieve loss
is a step in the right direction.   It doesn't happen all by itself.   I have to be willling
to let this process happen inside of me.   Looking to my Maker for comfort.  Selah.
