Back in February I shared a poem,When We Don’t Have the Words, about being awake at 1 a.m needing to pray for a friend, and in the past few months, as we have fellowshipped and prayed together and shared our stories more I understand why!

This story is written for a friend who went through something I can’t and won’t put into words, but through it all her desire is to grow closer with Jesus!

Don’t call

Her weak

Her testimony

Would bring

You to your

Knees.

~~~

Don’t call her

Weak

But she’ll be

The first to admit

Her strength is

Not her own

She finds it

Leaning on the

Lord!

Don’t tell

Her she’s strong

Either

She will reminded

You that she’s

Strong because

She has to be

Strong in the spirit

But she’ll remind

You too

The flesh

Sometimes

Make us weak!
