We've all been there a time or two -
"Frustration is the difference
between expectation and reality"
-So much truth to this quote
that a dear friend once told me
We expect one thing
it becomes something else completely
It's not what we agreed to
And it's so easy to become angry
You try to be strong
Hold your head up high
But your strength is waning
No one knows how much you cry
Life has rearranged
The plan that you had
It' not quite how you imagined
And it's making you sad
Please know you aren't alone
Your so often on my mind
I pray earnestly for you
That HIS peace you will find
I know I can't fix it
I can't make it all better
But I can love, hug, and pray
And let you know we're in it together
You may not have known
the awe that I've had
At your poise and acceptance
When I would have been mad
But you need to know
There is a breaking point for all
No one withstands pressure
With out as much as a fall
What you have been doing
Takes so much for just one
I know you can do it
It's just so hard to do alone
There is only one place
That your strength can be renewed
He's waiting right now
His eyes right on you
Kneel at his feet
Just lay there in stillness
Don't worry about words
Or the need to impress
All he wants is you
Tired, defeated, and mad
He already knows
Each disappointment that you've had
Right now you're exhausted
You don't see an end
But you cling to the hope
That your faith will not bend
My greatest desire
Is for peace and sweet rest
In the midst of the tumult
Your heart will be blessed
You are so very loved
More than you know
And your burdens are shared
You are never alone

Beautiful. (Seems to be what I say in every comment I leave.) :)
I especially loved this portion:
There is only one place

Don't worry about words

Your heart for God is amazing... I wish I knew you in real life.
And congratulations on your new bun in the oven. :) God bless and keep you both.
