I had the joy of being the guest speak on PF Women Radio today. I shared this poem at the end; enjoy the listen and below is the poem.
EVEN WHEN…
Even when you can’t take one more breath,
You doubt
You cry
You can’t imagine life alone
You feel unworthy
Unnecessary
You feel afraid and lonely
You’re hungry
You’re sad
You stand in disbelief
You think you can’t do this for one more second
Let alone one more day
The walls feel like they are crumbling in around you
You no longer have joy
Your marriage isn’t something you hoped it would be
The pain gets so great, you wonder if you will ever be the same again
Your children no longer want you in their lives… they’re grown
You picked out a name and the miscarriage took that name and dream away…Multiple times
You miss your Mom who died too soon
And you simply want to stop crying
You struggle to let go and let God
The diagnosis is death
You mourn those who have died
You think you will never be the same again
Even when one or all of these things are true
In this moment
This is NOT the end of your story
God is our life, our strength, our hope, our redeemer, our rainbow after the storm
Our everything
Our What’s Next
Our miracle
Our healer
Our joy
Our warrior
Our peace
Our everything
Even when it seems like the walls are crumbling around you
Hold on to Him
He’s got this, He’s fighting for you
He rights the wrongs
He fights for us
He holds every tear in his hands
He is for us
He loves us
Even when you think things will ALWAYS be this way
God says… Not today
God says… I am here
God says… I love you
God says… follow me
Even when…
