Defying Gravity


I raced to my seat early Wednesday morning last week. 

As I silently opened my netbook, my nurse colleague took one look at me and began grazing my back... I wasn't sure what it was she smoothed but what began as a sob almost immediately turned into a yowl... 


I knew something inside must be hurting deeply... a slight touch becomes a prick... and easily reduces me into tears...

me in the swing
What sensitized my nerves to react this 
way the whole September?

Was it the famous question of 'efficiency' at work?

... a promise I've been waiting for a long time that was broken? (Epiphany: Sam's promise that he'll visit me in my country September 2011)

... attention I sought and didn't get?

... an unanswered prayer?


I looked into life with so many rules that stifled my growth...

A growing list of screw tapes and disturbing 'have tos' and 'must dos' knocked me down... 

 I grew weary of this journey with so many burdens to carry... 

"Don't Be Tethered to an Ass" steered my spiritual sister Jessica Mokryzcki:

 "If we simply ask God to reveal to us those things that are stumbling blocks to our faith and our relationship with Him He will surely let them be known..."

So, I bade adieu to some people and left some groups...
 threw away thoughts and words that brought me down...
and broke bonds that enslaved me for many years...

God, I wish to be lifted up...

So, I think this time, I'll try...

  8. When God closes a door, somewhere He opens a window. Letting go of the doorknob is the only way you can move to the window and open it. May you bask in His comfort and grace as you move forward in the life He is unfolding for you!

    Blessings, my dear!
