i am

i’m a giver without a receiver

a lover without a match

a helper without an outlet

i'm a mom without any kids

a wife without a husband

a housekeeper without a house

i am lost

------

i'm a sinner who is saved

a child who is found

a daughter of the King

i'm a weak one who’s been given strength

a poor one who’s been given hope

a lonely one, but in His embrace

i am found

------

my first thoughts are true

but ultimately less important

my God is bigger

------

i am saved

i am bought

i am owned

i am uniquely created

i am particularly chosen

i am specifically wanted

i am loved

Oi.

the stress.

it has arrived.

and i'm having trouble coping.

lucky for me, i got a few hugs yesterday, and that always helps.

but when i'm here, trying to think about too many too-difficult things at once, it rains down.

and i feel lost.


(sorry to dump today... maybe i'll be more upbeat later.)
