Today's t. session proved to be a definite eye opener for me! Not gonna be easy with what I have to deal with at present.
My t. sees me as a broken winged little bird. A broken winged bird, that is needy. And that it is okay to be needy. Lay in my birdie hospital bed. Not worry what other birds are doing flying about. Not worry to have a bird plan or to be in bird control. Just let God take care of me, feed me my happy worms. Satisfy my tummy. Surrender! Just Be!
Okay, all that being said. I went on to say, "What is the plan?" "How must I respond while laying in bed?" "Why can't I perform and be like all my other feathered friends??" "Why, why why or chirp, chirp cheep, cheep?"
Ain't your plan was repeated to my "bird brain!" Plan again is..... Need rest. Need healing. Need to surrender. Need my wings healed. Need to eat my happy worms. And the biggest need now is to be able to accept God's love into my heart. To be able to believe it.
I envision
Jesus lovin' on me.
My dear bloggie friends, when I read your words to me, yes I am very touched. But, I must admit, since I am a broken fowl, it is very hard for me to accept your love and compassion! It has always been this way. I am not good at receiving! Just another piece of the pie to my healing as I lay in ICU, a/k/a 'God Sees Me,' and just receiving what God has to offer me. What you all have to offer me.
At this particular time, I ask that if any of you would like to come along side of me in prayer as I recover my brokenness, I warmly welcome it.
Oh sweetie, I gladly come into the nest with you. I am praying very much for comfort for you, love you dear one.
ReplyDeletei had a 't' session tonight as well. i did not like it, i did not like what i heard. i am still very raw with my emotions right now. our counselor tells us not to talk about this until 24 hours, wait for the dust to settle. my feathers are pretty ruffled right now and there is no settling of dust in the near future.
ReplyDeletei will borrow your prayer and ask the god of my understanding to feed me happy worms too. take care of you, i love reading your thoughts. it really helps
Of course you are in my prayers. I believe in our God. I believe in you. And I believe in healing. ((((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteI love that sweet picture...and would be honored to pray alongside of you with all your bloggie friends...
ReplyDeleteI will gladly come along side my sister in Christ in prayer, in support, and in love. Funny, I have a Dr T too :) He is a precious godly man, a little man so full of the Spirit and tells me things like this....Sounds like you are right where the Lord wants you to be. You and HIM together ....He will carry you every step of the way. I will be praying for you to receive HIS LOve and ours as well. YOU ARE WORTHY ♥
ReplyDeleteI believe in miracles. Some miracles happen in a sudden moment. Most miracles seem to happen over a longer period of time.
ReplyDeletePatience, prayer, persistence are my words for you.
I continue to pray for you.

For me I just had to come to the place of accepting my broken ME and when I did that I started to heal and feel love for myself. I am hoping for you. I believe one day you'll see when those wings are mended and there is only a tiny scar left that the scar is not a reminder of what once hurt, but what is now healed.
ReplyDeleteI have been where you are but this journey is your own and I am honored to pray for you.
ReplyDeleteGOD knows your pain.. He will heal you!
GOD has great things in store for you.
I've been where you are, honey, and I join you in your prayers for healing. I talked about my pain and sorrow with my pastor, at the time when it was deep and dark. She said, Rest in your broken-ness. Underneath you are the abiding arms of the Master, who knows our sorrows and has compassion on our griefs.
ReplyDeleteIn your honesty about your struggle, you are touching many lives who need to know they are not alone. You are blessed as well as a blessing. This your broken-ness,too shall pass. As my AA sponsor says, It came to pass, it doesn't come to stay.
You have been in my prayers and you will continue to be. One step at a time....when you are ready for the next part....GOD will let you know. Stay in the nest with your Heavenly Father and soak up HIS love!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, hugs, and prayers, andrea
JBR I've been with you mainly from day one and will continue to do so.
ReplyDeleteJBR I've been with you since day one and will continue to do so.
ReplyDeleteyou don't have to ask, alongside you in prayer is a given...
ReplyDelete"Look at the birds in the sky. They do not plant or harvest; they gather nothing into barns. Yet your Father provides for them. Consider the lilies of the field. Solomon in all his glory was not clothed as beautifully as they are. Will not God provide for you also? Do not worry about what you will eat or drink, or what you will wear. Your Father knows what you need. Seek first the kingdom of God, and everything else you need will be given to you."
ReplyDeleteMatthew 6: 26-33
You can't be in a better place. Among other believers lifting you up at your go on. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteTake my raptor wings...you need not ask for them just take them for yourself and fly as raptors do, free, high and ever mindful of the hunt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute title with a important message. JBR you don't even have to ask for prayer. God brings forth your rememberance to me. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteHoping you have more room for one more, as I join in...God bless you JBR!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful way in presenting your pain. You're in my prayers. I will walk beside you.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to receive love when we don't know what it is. I realized that I did not really know what it felt like, how to give it. As God's love for me is becoming more real to me, accepting love is easier. Sitting in his arms, listening to his words of love for you is a necessary thing. Until we know in our hearts, not just our heads of his unconditional love and acceptance of us now, it is hard for us to love.
ReplyDelete"We love because he loved first"
We can love because of his love for us.
Soak it up!!! He so loves you!!!
Honey, of course I am with you AND delivering Mill of happy worms to you. The day will come where you leave the bed and hop around, spread the wings and FLY.
ReplyDeleteI just wrote a comment on another blog about self care.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it the hardest thing in the world to take care of ourselves? I would go way out of my way, push through illness, give up more than I had, to help someone else, but when it comes to taking care of myself I am wracked with guilt and feelings of inadequacy.
I wish I had a good answer to why this is. I have probably heard the phrase "be gentle with yourself" a thousand times in the last few years... but that is still my message to you. Be gently, accept what is, and love yourself - because you're worth it.
peace
IFEEL YOUR PAIN. BEEN THERE DONE THAT! NOT MAKING LIGHT OF YOUR SITUATION. BUT THIS TO WILL PASS. KEEP THE FAITH.
ReplyDeleteI'll be by your side, praying for your healing! Lots of hugs! :) Love, S.C.
ReplyDeleteYou hae a powerful and mighty army fighting for you. Never lose hope. When I was in recovery tiems were difficult. God pulled me through. Having prayer wariors also helped.
ReplyDeleteGreat story. Praying along side you!
ReplyDeleteMending is all part of the plan. God wants you to rely on him. Sometimes he lays us up in order for us to learn. Be open.
ReplyDeletePraying for you JBR!
ReplyDeleteJBR I will pray for you. It takes time and love to heal. Just know you are loved.
