Stages of Pain
Feeling alone in the
midst of a crowd
My anger leaves softly
my losses come loud
"Little girl", they say, "there is a
silver lining on your cloud."
But the pain, it digs, it
hurts so deep
There are memories in
my mind, they come out in my sleep
What do they look like,
Dare I peep?
It's a big ugly monster
who burns and who kills
he uses fragile little girls
to get his cheap thrills
My tears well up
quickly til they spill
I never give up!
I'll go on til I make it
But soon I'm on my
face again saying
"God, I can not take it."
At this time of year I am called to remember, amidst all my current blessings and fulfillment, the wounded and hurting this holiday season. Someone in your family or circle of friends or church is devistated by death, disease, financial ruin, divorce, all means of sin and pain comes to us in this life. Someone is perhaps hurting worse than ever this holiday and feeling deeply misplaced by the truth that the entire world seems to be happily going on without them, continuing to orbit in their life systems. Life has stopped for them, but for every one else it is food, music, family, fun. It is all very abstract and surreal for the one who is arrested in their circumstance. For them it is painful and meaningless, the traditions and things others are consumed with at the holidays. It is as if everyone is so consumed with food and shopping they don't notice the person bleeding to death in the room, so to speak.
Lord help us all be open to minister to those who need a touch from you this holiday season. Let us be your heart to them, in prayer, in word, in deed.
In Jesus Name, Amen
Happy leftover eatin- list making- decoration finding- for some, sport of shopping- weekend to you all.
Love ya

Great reminder!
Lonliness is a fierce enemy to many - watch for those who have no one during this season. Invite single people over - take them shopping - give them a gift. Single moms are hurting, single ladies & men are hurting, those without or between jobs, those who have just moved into your area... they are all around you and lonliness can KILL their spirits.
Love them for their season is just temporary but they may not recognize. I know, I am one! But God...
Appreciate you Jen... Minister Melanie

| Just this past week, we have had numerous applications for employment come into out office. As we even recieved a phone call on Thanksgiving day for a person looking for a job. Gee. I felt such an ache in my heart for these ppl. I prayed that the Lord would continue to prosper our business so that we may be able to provide jobs for these men. I completely understand the depression that tries to creep in on every subcontracted during this time of the year. Cold weather leads to no work for many. We are blessed to have what we have at this time. We have found such a joy to be able to give any way we can to those around us that we see in need. |

| That's funny; I have felt to dig out some old poetry....I only wrote "good" stuff when I was suicidal though. What a gift you have! Wow. I so missed reading your blogs. Thanks for the reminder....I am so selfish, a wretch, really, and yet I have everything!!! Bah, the flesh sucks. |

| JENBOAT YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING....... THANK YOU FOR YOUR POST....... |
|

| Beautifully said! Soo many people put on the mask--an acting performance worthy of Broadway. Watch for the clues, the little comments here and there. Invite them into your world (a life in Christ), because theirs is a whirlpool of depression and they want out but are afraid or don't know how to reach out to you. |

I must apologize for the dramatic into... it is my personality, but also I feared someone would think these are my feelings NOW and mistakenly send me messages of help and hope! Judging from some of the comments I got on past blogs I figured not everyone reads the whole thing b4 putting in their 2cents, but you all got it! Good for you! LOL~
It is a blessing to share this and in future, other areas of my past that God has healed. It has forever changed my perception of the world, for the better, I have my Father's eyes. I am blessed to share what perspective I have gained in my young life to give others a broader view without all the pain and tragedy I went through to get it. Thanks for reading and commenting guys...
Love in HIM! |

| A good reminder, Jen! Honestly, part of the reason I love this time of year is that the opportunities to reach out to others is a little more on the surface. Extending invitations to others to your sledding and hot chocolate get-togethers or your holiday parties is a natural thing and your chance of getting a "yes" is more likely. We already experienced that with a family that came to our house for Thanksgiving dinner (new to this area). When they were getting ready to leave, the dad was asking when our church service started. (They are not Christians, and no "God stuff" ever came up while they were here.) I LOVE it when the Holy Spirit does His thing! |

| I feel so glad and so proud that you have come to a place with the Lord to open your vault/heart (as he leads) to those that may need to hear your heart then and then to hear your heart now. What a miracle our Lord does for each of us as we go into those tender places of healing with Him. As He heals us we find out - we are not our pain but we are ohhhhh so much more!!! Much love to you! Toot toot! |
