Running On... JUN/JUL 2017 | Page 33

We, she and I, weren't even suppose to talk today

But it happened any way

She said every thing I needed to hear

Clearly, the Almighty whispered in her ear

Strength....can you see it in her eyes?

The words she spoke

Gave me hope

I listened and understood

I listened and understood because she told me she knew the good in me

And that the reality of everything happening to me would eventually become my testimony

A breakthrough is upon you...

The words she spoke to me, I've heard them before...

But for some reason today they just meant much more, my knees hit the floor

Imploring God to strengthen the me within...

to save me....

I know he hears it, but my spirit was weary

Just hearing everything she said, speaking to the weakest part of me

Led to me writing this piece, giving me perfect peace I needed

I listened and I understood

Evaluating all the debilitating situations I've been facing

Painstakingly making the same mistakes

Refusing to wake up from this dream or is it a nightmare

Foolishly not realizing I was the one I needed to be scared of

Soul sickened

I became faith fatigued

I never embraced my position as queen

I've never seen myself being worthy of it

Never completely me....but I grew weary

The fear won't let me question his plan for me

But I need to breathe without impunity, escape punishment

Live in spiritual nudity

This is all so new to me, experience the beauty of a newly created BGP

Jubilee...

The overcomer I've come to be experiencing

Victory for the first time

Walking in my shoes, peacefully

Me, a lethal weapon, I kept on pressing on

Like Teflon, disaster doesn't stick to me

Walking in my shoes fearlessly

The words she spoke to me woke me

No more broke me, feeling sickly, worries incessantly, angers quickly

But completely free of all weapons formed against me

I am Strength...do you see?

Repeatedly living this way will lead me to my victory

Strength...can you see it in my eyes?

It was meant for us to talk today

because it caused me to reevaluate my level of faith

Stuck in the notion I should let my emotions take control of me
