This is how I feel:
Broken-hearted
Disappointed
Tired
Angry
Stressed
Life is chaos
Pukie
Love isn’t real (I even told someone this today)
Pissed off (yes, I said it)
I’m not gonna make it one more minute
When I was in grade school at a Halloween Party my art teacher Ms. Sisson had made these halloween bags and we had to put our hands in and guess what was in them. I don't remember very many of the contents of the bag, but I do remember one, the "eyes. They were peeled green grapes that she had frozen and thawed to make them slimy and squishy. They "felt" like eyes but they were really grapes.
Sometimes we feel a certain way, but really... we are something completely different.
Toay one of the last straws was when I found out my washer has water dumping out the bottom, yes, I am thankful that it’s going down the drain and that I don’t have a first floor laundry.
I’d like to be thankful and have lots to be thankful for… but sometimes I am just thinking "this sucks"
Sometimes it's just hard, and that has to be ok. But I will not pretend that things aren't perfect or that it's always easy.
Those are things I feel, and sometimes feelings are not always what is real. Like the "eyes" that were grapes.
But this is what I do know.
God is good
He is our provider
Love is real, even if it hurts
I am healed, and will always continue to be healed
God is on time
There are days that I don’t puke even if I feel like I might
His Word is true
I am blessed
He is a Warrior
He is the beginning & the end
He never leaves me
I am loved
God loves me
I am not alone even if I feel lonely
It was true. All of it.
I can afford to pay for the things that have broken because He provides for me. When I reach out to Him, He is always there. He even meets me in the bathroom when I cry.
I get to choose what I focus on. I DO! I have that control. I have the choice to focus on the good or the bad. I have the choice. While there is a battle going on, I will focus on the light. I will let Him fight, I will just focus on Him.
He is in it.
Standing on this mountaintop Looking just how far we've come
Knowing that for every step
You were with us
Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You've done
Knowing every victory
Is Your power in us
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Carried by Your constant grace
Held within Your perfect peace
Never once, no, we never walk alone
Ending Chorus
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Every step we are breathing in Your grace
Evermore we'll be breathing out Your praise
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Broken-hearted
Disappointed
Tired
Angry
Stressed
