This Journey





Today…

 I am happy about who I have become. 

I AM STILL ON THIS JOURNEY.

Looking back…

   I remember drinking Rum,

      As a young girl – in the world –

  …though morally sound, I was hellward bound.

Now I am thanking God for mercy & grace because I have found my place-

Formerly in the world, now of the world, that girl…SHE IS ME.

Only pieces remain of her pain, now without shame – she fights on til the old is dead and gone.

In her new life, still she finds struggles and strife, even as a wife, she pays the price…

  Losing friends along the way, she could only pray; pray to stay His course since He is her source,

Her Healer, Keeper, & Provider. He redeemed. He forgave. He saved me. If only you could see,

  She errs, she is flawed, she is human and she strays yet not far from God’s map; she know it is He that stands in the gap.

   I AM STILL ON THIS JOURNEY

Looking up NOT ahead, lightly is how I tread – 

I AM STILL ON THIS JOURNEY...
