Rescue

Who is like our God? Who rescues the needy from their affliction and increases their family like sheep _{psalm 107:41}

Today I arise, to a beautiful morning of blue sky, bright sun through the trees, scattered snow draping the rocks, and a sweet doe at peace. What a glorious setting that God has given me.

Rescued… from the pain of living in a haunted house of past memories; from waking each morning just wanting to sleep forever; from walking the cemented neighborhood in continual tears.

Rescued this day… from lies that almost devoured; from unrest with the now of my days; from the anguished scream of my soul; from the disconnect of any meaningful connection.

Today I arise, with joy in my being, love in my heart, hope in my spirit, and faith in my mind. What has changed? What has changed… this moment, I have been rescued from my afflictions.

And now I take a stand… when the words of lies berate, bringing hopelessness and despair… NO! I will stand on NO, not this mind and being will you torture with your lies. And as Miriam sang of the deliverance of God for God’s lovelies, I will sing the song of deliverance that God gives me in these moments of rescue. When the pain builds, I will release in tears and screams and walking and writing, and the release will bring peace. And the words of truth I will hold dearly, my mind renewed.

And as the doe is now joined by another doe, meandering and eating, my family of people will grow with those who will meander and eat with me.

Live my lovelies, live…
