    THE NEXT CHAPTER...

    Here I sit in the wee hours of the mornings, sipping on coffee, sicker than hell. I guess you can say I built my own little hell with my own two hands. Not something to be proud of, but all the same, here I am.

    for the last two hours I have been contemplating whether or not to take the last few pills that will give me some relief from the torture chamber I live within. I have been slowly and painfully been helping the devil defeat my soul, unaware of divine intervention just up ahead.

    To say that my life was a bed of roses, would be a lie bigger than one could fathom.  I have a boxing ring around my heart where scars of defeated battles lie. To say that I was an angel, you would not see my wings.

    I dream't that hate and bitterness did not exist, only to wake up to terror lurking down on me.

    with cruel injustices inflicted on my heart and soul, I grow bitter instead of better.  Is it just the sickness and my demise I fear?  Or is it the judgement and the cruel pointing of shame that tears at me?

    As of yet, I cannot answer that, for I am still in shock.  Was I so terrible in this world, that I should die this way?

    I claim to be a christian, I believe in God and the Holy Spirit. Still I doubt my soul will enter for the wrongs I have delivered. I was asked if I was to die today, would I be ready? I answered truthfully.. I don't know.

    Why do I have to rush to get ready for what eternity awaits? I am terrified of falling down to the pits of hell, instead of ascending into heaven above.

    I was told I have to forgive my enemies in order to enter into heaven's gates.  How can I forgive them, when I can't forgive myself?

    awaiting the second chapter..

    great write-so much sadness in your words--ive always been told if you ask God for forgiveness he will give it--open up your heart to the Lord and let him fill it up with joy instead of sadness--thanks for sharing this wonderful piece love Asha

    Beloved...some peoples sins go before them, and others trail behind them. We all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of GOD. But that is the whole reason HE ONLY could ransom our souls back from destruction and the pit. Jodi, every moment of every day is brand new, we are clean and fresh because of what He accomplished because we couldn't. The more you fill your mind and eyes and ears with His word, U will begin to feel more and more free. Follow Him, listen to the word on Cd or tape esp. at night. Fill yourself with conversations with Him as He willl begin to unravel His truth and deep mysteries very easily as you simply dwell on and in Him. Music will change the atmosphere to cleanse your home...only believe=Be-living and co-work with Him one step of faith at a time and He will enlarge your steps beneath you...Only believe and do...than U will soon begin to see the promises unfold before your very eyes as He is not a respecter of persons, He blesses as we trust and walk forward.. "Spiritsong"
