These tears I’ve cried are overflowing the tub now

And yet these scars are beginning to heal somehow…

The pain is becoming lighter with each step I take…

But this journey is long and the one thing I’ve learned is everything is not what it seems

But you don’t learn that until after you’ve been naïve…

Rock bottom, you’ve hit rock bottom and you’re on your way to recovery.

Yet it’s so hard to see how God would still love bruised up, messed up, angry me?

This season has left me dead.

 

They say the fire refines you.

But you can’t get through it without getting burnt

Their hurtful words, metaphorical bullets, ended up being the lessons learned.

They say there’s a time and season for it all

Maybe there’s hope for these dead bones to live after the fall.

 

And now I sit here searching for forgiveness and all the good things

But every time I do, the nastiness from yesterday is all that my memories bring.

And then I hear a whisper, “grace and forgiveness”

And I go to the place where Christ said “It Is Finished.”

And I realize that it’s that battle that Christ fought on the cross

That allows me to continue on this long journey and though I wandered I am not lost.

“Your wounds will heal, your heart will forgive. This season is over daughter…

It’s time to live.”
