In The Arms of an Angel

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 13:27:53 +0100

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh, beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

~ * ~ * ~

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

~ * ~ * ~

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness
Oh, this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

~ * ~ * ~

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
In the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

An Addict No More

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 09:03:58 +0100

Today is the birth of a new outreach to addicts (I hate that word). Please pray for the success of this new Christian intervention ministry because it is expanding and needs more people to help people in crisis. The name of our non-profit organization is An Addict No More Outreach. There are so many out there who need to know that all things are possible with God. Addiction can be healed permanently. Jesus is the Key. I did not go through a near death experience from drugs for nothing. I need and want to share God's solution to addicition. It works! I'm living proof. I am an addict no more.

Guess What!

Sat, 27 Jun 2009 20:54:36 +0100

It's Saturday, Bill & I are saved, it's beautiful, we're alive, all is well........but, the world out there is still so superficial. That is why there are just so many addicts out there. People need so much more than just the "outline"...they need all the colors. I tweeted on twitter about that last night. Everyone is so afraid to color in the coloring book of life that God gives us all; they're just afraid that they will go outside those stupid lines! So what if you go outside the lines! Are there coloring book cops going around anywhere? Not since I recovered there haven't been.

Having Found Love

Sat, 27 Jun 2009 07:56:10 +0100

It's so wonderful having my husband's love and support. Through all I went through, he has stuck by me and loved me unconditionally, as God has. I think God made some who belong with another, others who can do it alone. Then, there are those who are alone and can't bear life...they probably don't know Jesus. I want to spread my wings and place a few more people under them to love...it's time to give back. I love you, Lord...so very much.

The Mind

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 06:59:45 +0100

I had never given thought to the power of my mind until I fought to come back from addiction. God truly gave us a powerful instrument. I guess I think of my mind as joined with my spirit because, with it, I am able to conquer anything that I need to. I can rise above all the turmoil and my spirit soars high above the earth. My mind had become my best friend...next to Jesus, of course, when I had my breakdown over a year ago. I held on to God's Hand and my mind in order to come "back". Come back, I did...stronger and more powerful than ever before. God gives us the tools we need right within ourselves.......amazing!!! The Scripture kept ringing in my ear and still does when HE says, "For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of Power, and of Love, and of a Sound Mind". Praise be to God. The Lord has taught me to use the powers of those things He has given me to enlighten and bring so much peace and joy to my life now. He has blessed me with all my Spiritual needs and earthly abundance that I never thought possible. Happiness is something I own now. The mind...the body...the soul...the spirit...and God's Holy Spirit is what I'm made of; not sugar and spice and everything nice. :-)

Beating Addiction

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 05:28:56 +0100

I'm thinking about 13 months ago when I finally beat prescription drug addiction...opiates, tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, etc... I was not able to do it on my own; I needed to totally submit to Jesus in order to be forever free. It wasn't until I lapsed into a coma, had a breakdown, and suffered severe withdrawal, that I realized it wasn't going to be by my power...it was going to be by God's Power to get free. Initially, it was hellish to get through it; once I did, it was so easy. I learned to trust in Jesus...not just for being healed of addiction, but for every moment that I live and breathe. Praise God, my joy has been made full. Now, I am giving back to God by helping others who suffer the way I did. Whatever the addiction, it takes courage, it takes much strength, it takes commitment, it takes crying until there are no more tears...most of all, it takes faith in our Living God.

With God...

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:54:37 +0100

With God, there was a beginning for knowing Him...but, there is no end. God's love and mercy and forgiveness are eternal and everlasting. His love has no beginning and has no end. He has always been and will always be. Who else can be that way? Who else could ever love me with such unconditional love? The answer is no one. He is my Father and Jesus is my Savior.

I can remember standing with Bill (my husband) in a strange motel room. We were placed there for 2 weeks because we lost our home and all of our earthly possessions due to damage created during a storm. Whatever we had left, a very evil landlord prevented us from taking...the rest she stole from us. The Red Cross had generously given us shelter and money to buy food. God was good. I looked at Bill and he looked at me. We smiled and knew what each other was thinking. We were praising God that we had our lives and each other. The Lord spared us from destruction. We didn't know at that moment what would happen next, but we learned to wait on God for everything in our lives...from that day forward. We would never have to worry again about anything because God was in control.

All this happened one month after my discharge from the hospital after suffering heart problems, a complete breakdown, and withdrawal from prescription drug addiction. I was now detoxed and ready to walk with Jesus the way He wanted me to. My mind was finally clear. No longer would I ever put myself first or do those things I wanted to do. I was now allowing God to have the reigns on my life. I finally realized that He had to be in control. God had given me my final warning that I must obey; I heeded that warning then and continue listening to Him now. Jesus shed His blood for me and then He shed His tears.

Why His Way and not mine?

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 00:45:43 +0100

His ways are not necessarily our ways...so I've learned. It takes much time and much prayer to come to this conclusion. By "His", I mean God. Everyone today wants to to it their way. I guess it's a matter of self recognition and notoriety. I thought along those lines for many years; however, all of this brought me to my knees and to total brokenness...all of which I am grateful for and thankful. God loved me enough to set me apart. Now I live the life that HE wants me to live. It has cost me much, however, eternity is a very long time.
