{Just a journal entry I wanted to share}

Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise - Micah 7: 8

Your glory

As the sun bursts in 

and covers me

i rise

Another day

Another battle

Another struggle

i rise

it should be enough

but my heart 

has opened the gate early

for lies 

To invade

& conquer

streams fall from 

my eyes

i am no longer 

a daughter

but a slave

to my own demise

if only my voice

would carry from 

this 

prison cell

in reach of your 

promises

but choosing to feel

hell

Falling down

only to stay

How foolish when you

made a way 

For me to look 

you in the face & feel no shame

to reign in your family

and carry no blame

Giving me a foundation 

to rest my head

i chose to 

break your heart instead

Against you & you alone

did i sin

One moment feasting from your bread

the next, from a pigs' bin

Father, i return 

broken, needy, & dependent

to lay at the Cross

Lord, find me repentant 

Leave the ruins behind

wipe the ashes 

from my face

Your glory 

as the sun bursts in 

and covers me
i rise
