A Slow Thaw

This is the first of a compilation of songs from stories about people and how they've dealt with physical ailments..hope, feeling defeated, being healed, not being healed..many unsung heroes (in my eyes) that continue walking amongst the pain that often makes you feel as if you are a prisoner in your own body.  I can relate as I have struggled with years of chronic pain.  I'm not giving up hope but the journey does take a toll on one... I hope these songs inspire you, humble you to pray for others,  and overwhelm you with gratitude for the blessings in your life... I'm working on the music to this song.

Backdrop to the song...a beautiful woman feels trapped in her house, bound to her couch, barely getting  by at work... She underwent radiation therapy, had a hysterectomy when all she's ever wanted was a family, has struggled with digestion issues since childhood and anxiety much of her life along with much chronic pain that limits every day of her life. If you met her you would see behind her blue eyes a depth of love that puts others first, has compassion for you, and genuinely cares about your pain.  She's selfless and one of the most generous and kind people I know.  Welcome into her story...

A Slow Thaw

Winter in Nebraska is not supposed to last ten years

The blizzard winds keep blowing even when spring appears

The frost keeps nipping not just my fingers and toes

This chronic pain keeps my heart frozen

Chorus

Oh it’s a slow thaw

Oh it’s a slow thaw

I would like to change

The time it takes to heal

This is my appeal

To a slow thaw

Spreading its colors all around as most people awe in wonder

Budding trees flowering leaves and the sound of thunder

The storm is real my bones are chilled with the coming of  the next spring season

You wonder why my shoulder is cold endless pain is the reason 

Chorus

Bridge

Today I gave hope another chance

I pray it won’t leave me disappointed again
I need something to hold onto. Something to hold onto

Chorus

Oh it’s a slow thaw

Oh it’s a slow thaw

I would like to change

The time it takes to heal

By not demanding an appeal

To a slow thaw

Tag

Now there’s a trickle of water where there used to be only ice 

I believe her healing is unfolding and pray that the fullness of time would come... The picture above is a depiction of this woman's journey of healing that she created.

The Incubator

It's been a season in life where I've wanted to be in a different place than where I am and have things in life be in my timing...frustrated with not being able to change things ...striving to try to change things...So I ask and pray to God.  I got a picture of an egg in an incubator.  I am the egg. God has the controls and temperature set for when things will move forward and change.  I am to rest and wait.  Be grounded in Him and His word. He is the goal and he determines what's next.  Perhaps you can relate.  So I choose to continue to rest and let God be like the chicken on the egg...He will sit there until it's time to "hatch"...I have peace in that.

The Incubator

Stay resting in this space
even if it feels crowded
Be assured I’m preparing you
to make you stand grounded
to make you stand grounded

Chorus:

When it’s time to hatch the egg will crack
but not before you’re ready to go
When it’s time to hatch the egg will crack
but not before you’re ready to go
Oh I know you want more
When it’s time to hatch the egg will crack

Don’t be in such a hurry
There’s a reason for the delay
Your resistance is not helping
You need to be in this place
I want you in this place

Repeat Chorus

A Temple

...a new song... Meditating on 1 Corinthians 6:19...Love this scripture!¹⁹ Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; ²⁰ you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

Can I Give You a Gift

A group of about 8 women were sitting around a table over lunch...our leader, Pam, was sharing about walking through the holidays and stresss that seems to be waiting to be put on us like a coat...but we can add our own stress as well.   The question was posed at the end as we were being reminded about the true meaning of Christmas and how to keep our gaze upon Christ.  What gift could we give God for Christmas??...the gift of forgiveness, choosing not to "do it all" and just taking more of the season in...taking more of Christ in...is what came to my restless heart...I also think these are gifts we give to others...my heart is more at peace because my heart is right with God, I'm not running around trying to do it all and that in turn affects my interactions with others. We'll see as Christmas is still 10 days away and I think of the list of things I think I need to do...maybe they'll all get done and maybe they won't~and that's ok.

To listen to the song, please click on the following link and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Can I Give You a Gift

Can I give you a gift
Can I give you a gift
Can I give you a gift this Christmas

        

How about the gift of forgiveness I have had enough of withholding love
I will lay that offense down, down, down

How about the gift of staying home
Saying no to all the seasons busyness
I will lay my burdens down, down, down

The gift of simply saying I love youThe gift of time
to speak to this restless heart of mine
