shredded and stretched...

you stretch me...
 many of us have experienced
the pain of
our hearts being
shredded
and stretched...

we pretend
we are fine
we act as if nothing has shaken us 
but in reality our core has shifted and our foundation has become weak.

...dear
we are lost for months...
not until the healing begins
do we realize the extent of the damage

when we surrender to our powerlessness
we become powerful
our lives become manageable
 peace begins to heal our scars...




Psalm: 51:10, 12

create in me a pure heart, O God,
   and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

 restore to me the joy of your salvation
   and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Relationships and love can be difficult, challenging at times!
Anne and I are taking Britta down to the Thrivent building in Minneapolis for lunch tomorrow and a look at your paintings! Can't wait!
