head held high.

These verses. 

Oh, I love them.

God brought me across their path last year

when my world was swirling.

When I didn't understand and my heart

Just. Hurt.

These verses are like balm.

Salve.

For my soul. 

Then and now.

In the trials both big and small. 

When I've received news that I cannot carry alone.

And when the dryer decides not to function. With my wet clothes waiting. 

These verses remind me of who God is

and who I am.

No one but God has all of the answers. 

No one. 

And one day, Lord willing, I'll understand the whys…

but for now, I need to wrap up again 

in these verses

and take strength from the God who sees me.

Because today 

I want to walk 

with my head head held high. 

Many blessings,

Deni
