Walking With My Forever Angel

Until you’ve walked a moment in my shoes,

you can’t know how deeply I loved that man.

And until you’ve walked a moment in my shoes,

you can’t possibly know how important it is to walk with purpose.

Once upon a time, I myself did not know, either…

that life was happening while I was busy tending to menial tasks.

Until you have walked a moment in my shoes,

you will not realize that because you move slower than others

that alone does not exclude you from winning the race.

Until you have walked a moment in my shoes,

I’m sure you will look around and catch yourself

quickening your pace. Not me you say!

Because until you walk a moment in my shoes,

you won’t realize, God slowed your pace,

that you walk with purpose, that you walk in His perfection.

Hear this. I don’t walk LIKE YOU, people!

Simply because I’m not going where you are going…

You may have the privilege of knowing one day,

when you walk a moment in my shoes.

I am not counting down

nor am I counting up

I am taking one step at a time

because as long as I take steps

I know that I am progressing…

The world keeps spinning

as we are forced to keep up

But what if we don’t want to keep up

just let us go, at this steady pace

As we take one step at a time

All the while remembering

slow and steady wins the race

As we remember…

there has been “some change”

 

 

Today I feel like I have cried all night,

but all I did was pray…

It feels like a dark night,

but I look out and its day

the enemy tells me I can’t go on

and that I idon’thave anymore dreams

but the love of God and my love for him

tells me this is all just the weight of the world

and this too shall pass…hmmm.

…some may think oh yay! her pain is over,

her pain has come to an end

but I will tell you that’s not true

this is just a new chapter that is about to begin.

I still wake up and look over and think

my baby is never walking through that door

lying in his spot on the bed next to me,

is the love of my life no more.

But what I do have is the peace of God

I am walking in His light,

and I now know I have a few angels right there guiding me

leading with their heavenly sight.

I have one foot here on earth, and one foot in heaven…

I am where He means for me to be

moving forward in His grace

allowing His light to shine through me.

as I move forward, please continue to pray for me.

 

 

Two very good friends invited me to a huge even held in Colorado Springs, September 22-24. I share because this event is/was a pivotal point in my life. I now know that I AM walking in God’s favor, I AM walking with purpose and my life means something. It is okay to live the rest of my life and Wardell would NOT want me to stop living just yet! I climbed up on some “rocks” i went a little out of my comfort zone! Ashley and Toni thank you for inviting me to Gather 2016.

I’m FREE,

no longer held captive, free to be me.

The hurt, the anger

the enemy held my love over my head

and made me blind, unable to see…

Thank God, I’m free, no longer held captive

Simply free to be me.

My forever angel, I am not alright but I am okay.
Somedays, I believe the healing has begun. Other days I’m back at square one. But as long as I put one foot in front of the other, there is progress. My love, our legacy is being built  each and everyday. I will always do my best to pay it forward, to give back and remember to leave a place better than i found it. Thank you for always believing in me.

my friends tell me, “you are so strong”

those that don’t know us tell me, “You can move on”

I have heard it all from “God has someone else for you” to “he will send the right one to you”

I said today was a new day, but it feels familiarly old in a different way…

the difference is that I had to face a new trial this morning, alone…

and it was one of those you would have talked me through…but you’re gone

you can’t appreciate the walk unless you’ve had to crawl

and you won’t appreciate a good cry until you have to bawl

you won’t know the significance of the two’s until you experience life in fours

and tragedy is not tragedy, until it is yours.

the struggle is not real until you trudge through miles and miles of snow

so tread lightly my friend, many will arrive, but all cannot go.

I leave you with this, I accept this heavy load, and I’ll carry it with care

This cross I will carry, for it is mine to bear.

remember, tragedy is not truly tragedy until it is yours.

 

this phrase has been resonating with me for weeks now… I wrote it down and something about it didn’t come out write. lol funny that just came out WRITE when I meant right! I am going to share this with you all, to the very core of me I am a writer, but just as a singer sings from the soul and when one sings beautifully to the point that it sounds as if the sound is coming from somewhere else, well it is the same with me. I write from a supernatural place. Lots of time my words are not my own, it is as if the Holy Spirit is speaking through me. SO I am going to share, I still don’t know what this is about but I need to share this, unedited…

“Look for me and you won’t find me,                                                                                                   Listen for me and you hear silence,  but seek me and I Am there in the midst…                   Just as I have always been waiting for you…to stop looking and start seeking me with all of you and all that is in you…                                                                                                       Look for me and you won’t find me.”
