Always Growing

by Danielle Atkinson, posted in Choices, Growth, sadness, grief, pain, prayer, peace

This year has been very hard. I lost some very dear, loved ones and I am still grieving. I have been stuck in a place of wanting to go forward and also wanting to remain. It seems like the two have been parallel in time. In saying that, I have kept moving, growing, learning, creating, and exploring the complex world around and I have given myself a space and time to just be. I have stopped trying to answer all of the mysteries surrounding life and I have kept my thoughts and hurt inside.

I write today because it gives me a comfort to know that I am not the only person who is grieving, and if I can give just one person faith to know, seasons change. We are always growing whether we want to admit it, it is what we do. We grow through hurt, pain, grief, love, laughter, heartache, joy, anger, and all of the other emotions we have. It doesn’t mean we will understand all of the why’s, but we Will grow through those times and keep growing.

I have chosen to use writing, and educating, and joy to keep growing and in that I intern will work out my grief in my own way. So remember, when you meet a person, give them space to work out what they are feeling because we all need time. We are all growing!

Wishing It Were not So

There is that thing that you wished were not so. It may just be me, but I doubt if I am alone. Finding out something you just didn’t want to know, and it hurts so bad that you wish it were not so. I have a hard time with changing situations, changing times, pretty much anything that changes, but nevertheless it is what it is. For everyone that wished it were not so, I UNDERSTAND.

The solution is to accept the new change, or situation, and find a way to move onto the next because one things for sure, this too shall pass. It will keep changing, it will keep being new and it will keep you wishing it were not so. I am accepting this fact DAILY. I don’t think I will ever fully accept the changes but I will put all things into perspective and grow.

Blessings~

Space and Time

I will give you your space, I will give you your time.

I am here for you when something is on your mind.

I understand you are hurting right now, and I don’t want to pry.

I will be a good friend to you, on my shoulder you can cry.

I know it is hard to go through life right now, but I promise it gets better someway, somehow.

I know your heart is broken, you cannot understand why, take your own time now and soon peace will be found.

I will give you your space and time, but meanwhile I’ll be praying that you will be alright.

I know you will recover, and you’ll be stronger too, for God will comfort you and hold you tight.
