more than a circumstance I cannot control
more than an ox with a burden
more than a series of catalogued mistakes
more than an broken soul crying out
I am more than
‘just’ a woman in a pair of high heels
more than ‘just’ a mom, exhausted and fulfilled
more than a set of morals & pleasantries
more than an embarrassed, clumsy, graceless, loud & unruly child
Because of You
I am peaceful
I am forgiven
I am redeemed
I am unconditionally loved
I am understood
I am KNOWN
I am embraced
Beautiful words.
ReplyDeleteI am reminded of two great hymns "O God Our Help in Ages Past" and "A Might Fortress Is Our God"
I am thoroughly touched by that collection of vulnerable thoughts. Reaches to the pit of my soul. Thank you for sharing. -Erin
