THE ANSWER IS IN THE CLOUDS

My daughter open your eyes to the beauty in the
 Heavenly skys.
Let each little white puff of a cloud
 engulf a great big WHY.

Keep engulfing all your WHYs into this beautiful
 white clouded sea.
Now my daughter, once they are all gathered together
 and look so freightening - 
look beyond the dark clouds and see ME.

When all the WHYs are gathered together,
 they appear as a storm cloud above.
My arms can reach beyond these clouds,
 bring you above and
wrap you in my never ending love.

Once these clouds hold all they can hold,
 I release them to fall
into the sea of forgetfullness.
Never again to be brought up
 and again stir up the dust.

Put each WHY and hurt into these clouds
 to be carried into my arms.
My sweet child, don't reach back into
 the sea of forgetfullness
and bring these hurts back up to harm.

Leave them there and know they are in my care.
My Armour of God you will now carefully wear.

The enemy's darts will no longer be able
 to enter your heart.
Healing will begin and you will
 have a beautiful new start.

Don't look at the past and what has been done.
Know when I stretched my arms on the cross
 - those battles for you
I have won.

My forgiveness covers you and
 wipes out the past.
I will bring you up higher
 and it will happen very fast.

You see my daughter,
 I have souls for you to touch.
They long for healing and look
 for direction oh so very much.

You are now armed with new courage
 and weapons of Praise.
Teach others to look beyond the
 dark clouds and to Me let 
their arms be raised.

My daughter I am proud of you for
 the battles you have won.
Know the enemy will be defeated
 for all the damage he has done.

Look to Me for strength,
courage and your new walk.
Let me guide you, direct you
 and give you the words to talk.

Know that when you pull one of those
 WHYs back down from the sky.
You'll see that I've really sunk
 those WHYs into the sea and there
will be no more "God - why? why?"

Lean on me my daughter for I am strong.
There will be no more feeling
 that you are in the wrong.

My hand will be forever upon you
 and cover you with care.
The reflection of Jesus will
 cover you until people will
stand in awe and stare.

Keep your hand in Mine my daughter
 as we walk this fine line.
Together we will pull those percious
 souls in and I will gather them 
up in just a short time.

up inside.Well, Im that friend who
 is hurting so much .My past just keeps
coming back to haunt me .
 I have no family around as far as parents,
 My dad
was killed in a car accident
 when I was 16,Im 36 now .
I have so much anger
,hurt , and bitterness towards
 my mother ,I never want to be like her .
 Any ways she moved off  with my youngest
 sister 16 soon,but didnt bother telling
anyone where she moved.
Well that just dug the knife deeper .
 I hold a lot of
anger in because of the way
 she raised me .My gosh you name

, drugs,alcohol....you see.I do believe in God
He has brought me a long way .
See I 'm  married to a wonderfull man and have
three beatuifull children 12,15 1/2  and 17 1/2.
They also know God.Ii did
raise them differant .
My mother never told me about God or church camps .
Ive only been saved for about 6 years .
 I feel I am slowley driftting away from
God, my hurt inside stays deep down.
I have let some things go but I always
keep a little inside.
Mighty Warrior _____ is a true friend
 she knows how
hard I try to let go.
She also knows how much I hurt.
That girl has prayed
and prayed for me ,over and over againe.
I dont think I would be here if it
wasnt for her prayers.
I keep asking God ' God just break my
 heart and start
all over againe Let the healing tears flow "
 but I hurt so bad  and hold it
in so much I cant even cry
 any more Sure I can cry
  But I need God to let
those healing tears flow ,
I dont care if I cry forever ,
I need to get rid of
the hurt I have kept in me for so long .
I feel I cant allow God fully inside
of me  because Im afraid of beeing hurt againe .
I know God would never hurt
me Gods love is pure and gentle.

home with me and so did others .

words.  ...............Let me guide you, 
direct you , and give you the words
to talk...........Sharon those words
 were straight from God. I told you
nothing about how I had been praying for God
 to give me words to speak so
I may bring forth his words to witness 
and to comfort others. God knowes
exactly what we need before we even ask.

healing. Satan has NO chains on me!
