"Life"

As I was walking the short distance from my home to the car, I looked up and was really taken by the site (picture) that you see. I immediately saw Gods awesomeness. Grabbing my phone, I snapped this shot and quickly called it "morning has broken". I would like to try to paint the picture that I experienced for you...travel with me if you will (smile)

I see myself lost in a group of trees, but not invisible for there is light (sun) and in the middle of all the "stuff" there is life (the leaves). For me on that day...I saw hope. Sometimes before my feet even touch the floor I am overwhelmed with pain which quickly turns to hopelessness yet and still I forge my way to work. Seldom do I complain I just do what has to be done.

It has been my experience that a person who complains all the time, is seldom heard. People really don't want to hear or experience your or should I say my agony. There is sadness, pain, struggles and fears, how much more can a person take. I do have a someone that I can talk to that's willing to listen for a minute (smile) then the subject quickly changes or she says "ok now, you know there are people who are worst off than you". Let me just say this, one or two things are guaranteed to happen, I either agree, shut down, clam up, retreat or deal with it that way I do best...alone. Please understand this is done not, only out of habit but it's the only way I know to survive.

Through all of this I have hope, I know it could be worst but I also know it could be better. Although there are days that I experience extreme hopelessness, there are also days that the sun shines so brightly I can see the glory of God even in the trees

I can either give up, give in or hold on...today I shall hold on.
