Oh God, early in the morning I cry to you.
Help me to pray
And to concentrate my thoughts on you;
I cannot do this alone.
In me there is darkness, but with you there is light;
I am lonely, but you do not leave me;
I am feeble in hears, but with you there is help;
I am restless, but with you there is peace;
In me there is bitterness, but with you there is patience;
I do not understand your ways, but you know the way for me.
Restore me to liberty,
And enable me to live now
That I may answer before you and before men.
Lord, whatever this day may bring,
Your name be praised.
Amen.

sonata
Welcome back to my blog friends. It has been a while since an invite. Here, let me blow the dust off these keys before I get into it.
I have recently discovered a new part of myself that it is a bit frightening. My childhood and present haven't really changed in one aspect. That being my mother. No, I don't really want to get into the story, but I have taken enough abuse and I am done. I am done crying over her, I'm done fighting with her and loosing the battles, and I am done praying for her. This was not an easy place to get to, but I am here, and I am not leaving for a while. Some of you are surprised of this news, others are not at all surprised; merely wondering why it took so long. nonetheless, I am here now, and that I can be proud of. I know where my faith is in Christ. I know where I want it to be. The path leading me there is shorter that I think, but there is struggle regardless.
Thank you all for believing in me, loving me, and praying for me. Without that support, I would still be at the place I just came from. Now I can start over (hince the title... for you non-musicians out there a sonata is the first movement of a "classical" symphony) and finally be at peace.
