About Me

My photo
Hi I am a Christian, a nurse, the mother of two grown children and two grand daughters, one grandson, and 3 dogs. I love people and have a huge heart. So why am I blogging? Well I've been told that I need to publish my writings. This seemed to be the easiest way to do that. Also, I want to get out there and live life to the fullest. Empty nests are great because now I get to explore the world. I'm starting right here on my computer. So come along with me and as I learn to fly we'll soar together!

04/26/10 tears


Today tears are just a breath away.
I feel
I feel something I can’t quite put my finger on.
Sadness and remorse. Some pain is just outside my focus and I can’t seem to see what it is.
But it’s deep.
It’s very deep.
So I talk it out, try to identify the source.  Not sure I want to but I know this.
When it starts I need to pay attention because it tends to grow and get out of control.
I don’t like the monster it becomes.
Yeah I know that darkness.
Not sure the source, unfulfilled dreams, disappointment, desires unmet, longing and pain, expectations unreachable, loneliness.
Long list of possibilities there.
And I’m so tired.
I know that when I am weary I am weak.
Vulnerable.  Even more than normal.
And my senses are working overtime to try and feel the presence of God, my God.

I listen to my programs and get instruction from Him.
I know He is present.
But there is such a huge hole in me still.
And obviously it is my fault.
God has not nor does He move.
So here I am – again imperfect and unable to close the gap.

And I cry out to You my Father to please put Your arms around me.
I do not feel safe.
I’m trying to learn these lessons.
But I fail so miserably.
I’ll never be good enough and I know it.
And there are all these failings that I’m trying to fix.
And my heart cries out to You.
And my tears flow.
Oh God my Lord how I long to know your presence again.
Why have You withdrawn Your blanket of love from me?
What have I done.
I am so evil and I do not know how to manage it.
My desires have ruled me Lord.
Is that what is between us?
I am so tired.
Please forgive me Lord God and save me.
Save me from myself.

How I long to be in Your arms again.
