Take Me To You

I feel so much better today. Thank y'all for your sweet encouragement. It is just a battle to handle these crazy emotions. I feel much more hopeful today. One day at a time. And it's as if the weather copies my mood. Or maybe it's the other way around. It's been so dreary lately and today it is a BEAUTiful day. I'm so thankful for the peace that follows such hard days -- for peace in the middle of the storm.

I wrote this little poem the other day on one of my hard days. It really captures the battle going on in my soul. Feeling like I am sinking so far but doing all that I can to reach out for God to hold me up.

I hope He encourages you today in legit ways.

Hold me up I am sinking
Lower and under beneath me 

Hold me close I am shaking 
Don't want to move forward please take me 

Take me home
Give me peace
I surrender

Take the weight 
off my chest 
And remember

Each step is a step in the valley
Each shadow I see overwhelms me

But I'm not alone you're surrounding 
So I will not fear. Please take me

Take me home
Give me peace
I surrender

Take the weight 
off my chest 
I remember

 In you I am whole and complete
In you I have all that I need 
So take me
Please take me 
 To you

  1. What a beautiful and heartfelt poem, you are very talented=) I'm glad you are feeling better, and taking it one day at a time is the best way to go. I find saving pictures and quotes that inspire me and looking over them daily or when I'm feeling down also seems to help. Your day WILL come!
