Famous Last Words

What a week... Y'all (non-existent readers) I am so tired. I know I have said this before but whoa, do I feel so silly for signing up for 18 hours worth of course work. Why did I do that to myself? Self-sabotage, I tell yah.

This weekend I attending a women's gathering for the ministry that I participate in called, Karis Fellowships. These women and their wisdom astound me and I am so very glad that I was able to have to opportunity to come join in this weekend. I learned a lot and feel like I've made new friends in the process, which feels so rare! My time gets all tied up between being a single mother to two kids and trying to get this damned degree of mine.

The great thing about this nice little retreat, is that these women all have this same common goal to being the best that we all can be, as children of God and following the path that He has paved for us.

One of the beautiful meditations of the weekend was the structures combined from words//phrases of Psalms 91:


Dwelling in shelter
Refuge

Deliver her

From the snare of the hunter
Terror by night
Give angels charge

Eyes on salvation







I know that probably looks like a bunch of mumbled garb to most, but that rung so very profoundly in my heart and spirit. I am love and looked after, sheltered beneath the wings of God. I just... I am so grateful for this life.

Week 13 Story: The Great Awakening

The Great Awakening The war has ripped my soul apart... Of every suffering, every loss, and every single moment- this one could kill me. I wish my grief had taken my life. Each of my beloved sons has perished.  I have no will and no meaning without my children. Yet, I am doomed to remain in this world without me. Oh gods! Why have you forsaken me? How can I go on without their love and light and laughter? My heart has shattered into a thousand irreparable fractures. My grief can never end until I am with them again. Great god, Vyassa, please help me.  Vyassa Summons Ghosts http://ouocblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/pde- mahabharata-forest-and-its-ghosts.html Draupadi and the Pandavas are in the forest by the Ganges with all others who are in a state of ceaseless mourning.
