My Journey Through Poetry My life has changed forever, I am not sure of the moment or day. But I know I have started a journey which was lonely in every way. I began to search for an answer; that not one doctor had. My health was beginning to fail me, and my heart became very sad. Why is this happening to me? I tried to live a life that was right. I prayed for God to just take me, I did not have the courage or fight. I would look in the mirror with disbelief, again to the Lord I would pray. Why God has this happened to me; is there anything I can say? Each morning I woke up to this nightmare Not understanding what I could do. I became very angry with my Savior Still not believing that this could be true. And still I would search for some answers, Because of my children’s undying love. Knowing that somehow God could save me, My eyes looked to the heavens above. It has been almost two years that I have been trying, to get healthy and become all I can be. Through this journey I have come to realize, God has a new plan for me. So now I embrace my Lord daily, Praying for the strength somehow. To severe my God with the Glory, He has deserved both then and now. I know he has answered my prayers, and led me to a place that is true. So vitamins, rest, and have faith, are the most important things I need to do. Each day I start off reading scripture, God’s message is very profound. I learn from the people he sent me, Understanding there is love all around. It is my goal to stay through this journey The rewards will one day be great. I have beautifully amazing grandchildren I want to hold before it’s too late. I will embrace this new life God has sent me Knowing he is leading and guiding the way. I realize GOD chose me to help others, And this I must do every day. I now walk through this life without fear Because my GOD has a mission for me. Thank you God for the courage and strength, I Love you and your truth; which now has set me free. | |||

Dear Ruth Ann, Thank you for the kind words. Poetry helped me get through so many dark times. The most profound moment for me during this journey was when I really decided to listen for God's voice. I kept praying and asking what do you want me to do? That is when I felt him saying "I died for you, so please live for me" In some way we need to remember what Christ endured for us in order to give us eternal life. It is very difficult and you may never really understand his full purpose for you. But be encouraged that you were led here and he will see you through. I pray for you to completely overcome this disease and move forward with your life in Christ. In Christ Love, Laura | |||

Laura, I read your poem which is a heartfelt description of what you were feeling and many of us also. I also asked God to take me home, one night several months ago and he said to me, "No, I still have work for you to do." I am not sure what the work might be,but I know that the Lord never lies to us. Therefore, with hope I keep waiting until that time, when I can do whatever work he has for me. Ruth Ann. | |||
