she hurts she wonders she tries

can wounds reopen she asks
old wounds can still smart
not as frequently, not as painful
but still smart

what does one do with old relationships
do we leave them on the shelves in the recesses or
do we take them off, dust them & try to work new stories, life into them

she wonders if life could have played out better, with more warmth, less distance
but these wonders are in vain & silly cos no one knows
you cant judge between an unknown & the present

its wiser not to dwell
but surrender & trust
the One who knows, the One who embraces, the One who loves

so she tries, she keeps trying… grateful she still has He.


your grace is sufficient for me
your strength is made perfect when i am weak
all that i cling to, i lay at your feet
your grace is sufficient for me

things in the past, things yet unseen
wishes & dreams that are yet to come true
all of my hopes, all of my plans
my heart & my hands are lifted to you

    ah, the classic question of what if. Perhaps if we spent the same amount of time working on our present lives as we spent wasting on what-could-have-beens, we'd be a more productive generation, you think? And yes, He is lovely, the only one we will never be afraid to claim full dependence upon.

    "Time heals all wounds", found this true in my experience and observation.

    When we focus on the here and now and the tasks God asks us to concentrate on now, one fine day, you will realize, "Hey, I've forgotten his birthday/phone no./e-mail adress/etc!" and you can bounce away thanking God for that.
