Ravyn’s Musings

Resurrection

Eyes closed

Tears streaming hotly down my face

No one to dab dry my tears of pain

No one to hold me in a tight embrace to never let me go

No one to whisper, I got you

No one to brush my tear-encrusted lips and say I love you.

Don’t get it twisted because I am still here

I am not going anywhere

I will keep on moving forward

I am my own best friend

I will never give up

I will never surrender to the dark places in my mind

The LORD is the same both today and tomorrow

HE is the GOD of second, third, and fourth changes

I have found my place of grace

I am tightly held in HIS grip

The LORD is the I AM THAT I AM

I have heard of HIM and now I will softly rest in my experiences of HIM

Comfortable in My Own Skin

It has taken a long time BUT

I love me and my imperfections.

I know what I am worth….priceless.

Fearfully and wonderfully made said the LORD

To love me is to know me completely and honestly.

I do not have to be with anyone but myself.

However, I chose you.

You get me and I get you.

Tingles, giggles, and wiggles when you touch me.

You touch my heart and my soul.

How can I refuse you?

You see me authentically and truthfully

Our love is EPIC!

People spend their whole lives searching for what we have naturally found with each other

I love the way my body, my heart, and my soul respond to you and you alone

I want the moon, the stars, the sky, the sun and more than that, I want you.

I want you to continue to love me

as I need to be loved.

More than that, I want you to continue to love me

as I was meant to be loved.

I am priceless.

I love me.

I am loved by you unconditionally

I am comfortable in my own skin.

Battered not broken

When words don’t match the actions, it is time to bail.

I was complete before you came into my life with meaningless promises of love.

That is why I can walk away.

I don’t share my love.

I don’t accept crumbs of affection.

Your loss not mine for I am whole before my LORD.

Your exit is my inauguration into the journey that the LORD has called me to walk.

I love you but I love myself more.

I want the sky, the stars, the moon, the sun, and

I want me to be loved the way that I should be loved.
