A poem written today to help me to release what I felt stirring inside of me...

Intensity Rises... Pressure Builds...

The battle to fight for my life continues to intensify...

My well of strength seems to have run dry...

Now it fills up with the tears I cry...

The struggle to choose life grows more intense...

In hesitation I press on with growing suspense...

I wish I could take a break from all of this...

The lies build up and vie for more space...

Trying not to yield - not to lose faith...

I stand amazed by my Abba's relentless chase...

Though I stiffen up and my teeth clench tight...

I won't relent; I'll choose to fight...

Trusting my Abba to help me save my life...

The end of this journey seems to slip farther out of reach...

And as the pressure builds, I struggle to breathe...

I will cling to my God, and I will claim His peace...

Though it is tempting to quit and run away...

I know God's strength will equip me to stay...

As I let Him walk with me throughout this day...

I will put on His armor, so I will be...

Ready to face ED - my relentless enemy...

For on the other side of the battle awaits VICTORY!
