Authentic Stories Sharing His Authentic Love
A peaceful spirit changes things. It limits your reactions and creates a space for wisdom to lead. Peace settles within, and as we embrace this gift, joy enters and plants itself in our inner being. It is the assurance that all is well between us and God.
I’m the mother of an addict. My eyes burst open daily with one anxious thought, “Is she dead or alive?”
I play the 'forget game' to move on. Forget what they did, forget what they said, forget the pain, forget the abuse, forget the porn, forget the drinking. I work so hard to forget, I never allow myself to heal.
You have considered your legacy for a couple decades now. What will it be? My dear lady, it is never for you to know. It is written once you breathe your last, leaving this world behind.
…I fell to my knees. Outside his room, I sobbed to God. "If you have to take my son, I understand."
Perhaps my destiny is marked by a neon sign flashing ‘overcomer’ and a fate filled with wonder and awe.
I see a rant ahead, but I will not tackle that today. I will cut this short and end with a, "Yes, I enjoy my job." (I'm sure there are 2000-word responses one can find here somewhere)
When I am bound by bipolar, I fear movement. I cast this unimaginable shadow over myself that darkens with each passing day. I proved this earlier this month when I looked out my office window and noticed the sun.
"God, if you have to take my son, I will let him go." I will never forget the pain in those words. I was heartbroken and angry. How would God do this to us?
A break from the agony would be a delight. Instead, tormenting worry steals my sleep. Stress robs my health. And fear plagues my mind.
