God,You have broken my heart.

Me: God,You have broken my heart.

God: I know.

Me: I called out for You but You did not come.

God: I know.

Me: I was desperate for an answer.

God: I know.

Me: I looked everywhere.

God: I know.

Me: I shouted Your Name until my tears drowned all sound and fanned the flames of my worst fears

God: I know.

Me: I have been afraid to call again .

God: I know.

Me: I’m terrified.

God: I know.

Me : You may never come.

God: I know. Trust me anyway!

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: The past few days have been incredibly dark and troubling. It feels as though  I have lost more than the ability to walk and use my hands. My identity is shaped by my words. Words have been my life for the whole of my life.

God, for reasons known only to Him, has allowed my voice, for my words, to be struck dumb. He has allowed my song to be silent. Why? Only God knows  All I know is to fight to find my son once again.

I just stopped by to encourage those who have lost their voice,  for all who have been laid bare. Through your own hand or by the hand of forces, unknown, you find yourself here with me

We are now faced with the choice to move forward or to walk away in  despair.

I choose life. I choose love. I choose hope    What about you? Asking for A Friend. In case no one has told you today.  I love you and so does He. Keep looking up.  Keep moving FORWARD.
One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

When.

When the going gets tough, I am learning to throw hands!

When the world says give up, I am learning how-to tell doubters to shut it!

When I fall,  I am learning how to laugh out loud.

When troubles come calling,  I am learning how be still.

When all hope is gone,  I am learning how to believe again.

Keep on believing, beloveds.

Be encouraged.  I don’t know HOW to do today, God ,but I’m STILL here…

Facts,

Facts:

You are NOT alone.

You can do so much more than you ever dreamed was possible.

You can start over as many times as it takes.

This the beginning and NOT the end for your dreams.

We hold ourselves back more than we propel forward

Thisweek has been hard. I have quit at least 50 times. I have kicked Life to the curb at least twice. I have told God to kick rocks

I have:

Blamed myself for having a stroke.

Blamed you for not being able to give me my legs bac.

Wept.

Raged

Still, beloveds, I rise. So, too, must you.

Begin.

Again. Cry. Rage Then, rise again

Since we do NOT know the future, our try IS enough. Just stating FACTS!

Be encouraged

I found me in the storm

I found me in the struggle.

I found myself in the middle of all this hard.

I found what I had lost…ME!

I have spent the bulk of my life encouraging others. Life decided to snatch my legs For now, beloveds, this stroke has had its

I GOT NEXT! Don’t feel sorry for me. God has me. Jesus walks by my side I have family and a few friends who love me.

I am starting to feel like myself again. Rehab is soooooooooooooooooooo painful. There are days when the pain chases me back to bed. Still, I sing

I just stopped by to encourage someone. We are all battling with something. Remember, beloveds, that quit is not in our vocabulary Although, I can’t move my right arm, I can now take small baby steps with my right side Miracles take time I shall have mine one way or the other How about you?

I found me in the storm.
