The silent sufferer

Happy almost 4th of July! It looks like July 4th weekend is easily becoming my poetry weekend. At this time 2 years ago, I wrote a poem about rest. This time, it's about suffering in silence. We’ve all experienced some sort of hardships in our lives. Sometimes it can be difficult to talk to others about it even though the more we hold on to things…

Slow down and spend this time with God

For some reason today I am drawn to write something that will help you (yes you) process. I don’t know what you are going through and I usually don’t write like this, but the Holy Spirit led me here, so here we are. Many of us struggle with being still.
