"God is My Healer"

A Poem of Faith and feelings

I am a wounded soul

Full of love

But afraid

So much pain inside

No where to run and hide

I am a wounded soul

Full of Joy

But don’t know who to trust

Want to leave my past in the dust

I am a wounded soul

Jesus is my strength

God please break down this wall

I built it up, afraid I’d fall

Fall in love, fall apart

How does one heal a broken heart?

A knight? A prince? A toad?

Life is a bumpy road

I was a wounded soul

God lifted me out of the black hole

Up out of my desperation and despair

Reminded me that He will always be there

I am a delicate rose

What comes next? Only God knows.

The future, so bright

I have seen the light

Radiant sunshine fills the air

Live as a child, without a care

Love with all your heart

Even when you fall apart

God is my super glue

 Showed me His love is always true

 My passion is to heal

 For I know the pain is real

I want to be the light for each lost soul

 Those that feel their lives are out of control

Smile a Cheshire cat grin

Things will get better again

When you are lost, try to pray

God is happy to lead the way!

        These past couple of months have been very busy! I moved and got married. I also am in school full time and work about 30 hours a week. I feel so blessed to be married to my best friend, Cirrell Battle. Planning a wedding was...a lot of work but it turned out great. We have been through a lot together and I think that's part of the reason we are so close. We have only been married for two weeks but so far it's going really well. It's so strange to think that a year ago we did not even know each other! Some people think we rushed into marriage but something I have learned over the past few months is that life is too short and we need to cherish the time we have with each other. God is so awesome and I am so grateful for all the wonderful people he has placed in my life.
         At Kaplan University I am learning a lot about CAM (complementary and alternative medicine). I hope to bring   peace and balance into my life. Sometimes I keep myself so busy that I forget to take time for myself. I am starting to do yoga and deep breathing exercises. I want to learn how to stay calm, even when my life is hectic and crazy.

Bewildered Busy Bride to Be

I have not posted lately and I think it would help me to get my thoughts down in writing. There's a lot going on in my life right now. I am planning my wedding, a full time student, and  a part-time manager at Blockbuster. Stability was an important constant of mine. I have learned to live with out it. I am in a house that is for sale. I am praying that my fiance gets a job before this house sells. I am also praying that I find some friends to be part of my wedding. Two people I thought were close friends of mine...well, they got tired of dealing with all the drama in my life. I need to learn how to let them go...I just haven't quite figured out how to do that. They were people that I was always there for when they needed me but then when I needed them most, they abandoned me. Girls talk about their wedding days as the grow up together...and I just don't know how I'm going to do this without them. I take comfort in the fact that God is always there for me. He has brought me a man that I can see myself happily spending the rest of my life with. He will provide employment and a place to stay. He will provide me with friends that care for me and won't leave me.
