Walls

Two days ago I surrendered. Not to say I won't go back to fighting....I mean come on can't you see the wall I've built....I sure there will be other times when the war will break out...I'm human

There I go again, talking as if I'm in control of this wall I've built. This heart has become so cold, so small. You know when your hands get so cold from being out side and when you come back inside you place them under warm water to warm them up, at first you feel nothing, then a sting and then finally eventually they become nice and warm- that's what it is like right now, I think I've come out of the numbing sensation into the stinging sensation....

If you ask them they will tell you that my name should be Israel- one who fights with God, but not just your typical brawl, but an all out fist to fist fight with God. They warned me that I would get tired and soon enough the white flag of surrender would rise....sigh....I don't like it when their right sometimes. SO

Now comes the process of kicking down the walls I've so hastily built, forgiving people that haven't said "I'm sorry" and getting the courage to face others who I've embarrassed....if I ever seen them again...

This is a good place you are in...even if it doesnt feel like it. Keep seeking...

Remember, papa made you a fighter for a reason...this wont be the last fight...just remember to always rely on him in the fighting, and fight FOR him too:-)

Hi, um, did you get that e-mail I sent you? If so, don't listen to anything it says because I totally miscalculated. Don't buy any fabric until I can work this out. But I WILL make you a quilt.

I MISS YOU.
When can we have coffee?

...And you will FIND me when you SEEK me with ALL your HEART!

Consider this
