WEAKNESS
As pitch as the black sky, as unwarranted as a cold slap, are the dashed dreams of an unbeliever.
Standing on a far shadowed hill watching the sun droop it's tangerine-tinted head, is the sinking heart of the unbeliever.
The burgeoning grey waves and chill waters drag and pull the struggling arms of the breathless unbeliever.
Thrashing against the tug downward that is too great, too gravitational, terror strikes down the discouraged heart of the unbeliever.
The entrance into the gate of rest, of perfect peace, is disguised to the unbeliever who stumbles drunkenly past.
Withering against the ugly slew of words lining my heart, I cry out to the faithful Spirit, the One who, "intercedes for us with groans that [my] words cannot express."
The knees of one who has lost hope are muddied.
The heart is crowded with pain...
"...but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Amen! Hope you have a Wonderful weekend!......In Christ's Love....Monic
I like this piece.
I can't wait for part 2. Are you working on it yet or did you even have plans for one?
If not, you do now.
Timothy asked me yesterday if I had ever felt so hopeless that I wanted to end my life.
We had a wonderful talk about hope in Christ.
I love my children. They have so much to offer in terms of discovering truth that I am continually baffled.
When school lets out you should come over sometime and spend some time with them (and ME!)
We miss you and love you!!!
P.S. I really do love this piece-
Great post! God is our refuge and strength. Amen! God bless! :)
very elegantly written! So good to have you back!
Michela, This captures the essence of the unbeliever. You definitely have a descriptive way with your words that brings one to the place that you want them to feel within your blog.
Love you, Nancy
