A New Beginning For Me
Free at last,a wonderful feeling,to free my spirit,soul,
mind and body;
Found some peace,rest,a new start for me which is exciting!
I left the old behind,including family who didn't under-
stand
In order to begin again,to find freedom,to find peace,hope
and love.
My mind,soul,heart,body are so much happier,livelier -
I know that I have people who love me for me now and under-
stand my tbi problems,
I thank God for that every single day,His kindness,love
constantly sustain me,see me through
Life is a puzzle,a riddle,a blessing all in one-hard to
figure out,
But a gift,nonetheless,to be treasured,lived to its fullest
And shared with others,thank you,God,for the new person in
my life who loves me for me;
Not expecting more than what I can give or do,but loves me!
A new start,new beginning for a life that I control,I have
say over am responsible for;
A New Beginning for me that I never thought I'd see!
Amazing how different I see things,I view things,am blessed
by even the small things which give me joy!
Thank you,Lord,for all you've done in my life;use my life
to help others,to give you the praise!

Feeling lost,feeling empty,emotions churning turmoil emerging
Life confusing,thoughts unsettled and depressed;
Where to turn to,is this all just a test?
Where did all my friends go,when I needed them most?
Why would they leave me now,just an injury,not a joke;
Cruel is life and hard to live;hard to figure out what to do
Rattled is my brain thought processes,my heart beats within;
Is this to be the way my life is forever? Friends deserting me
Leaving me,not caring,making me want to cry,to die for being
left behind;
People can be so cruel,mean and nasty,selfish and not
caring;
Others who don't know you well can take up the places of
those who leave with love,acceptance and honesty;
Being there,helping you,accepting you for who you are,a gift
from above;
God brings gifts in different fashions,in people,in nature
It's awesome to see how He works in our lives,how He works,
Loves us,helps us,guides us,heals us when we let Him do the
Work He wants to do within us daily,continaully as He does;
That is the only way to get past all the bad stuff that hits
To have faith in Him,to pray,to worship Him with all your soul
To know a supremem Being is awesome,too wondrous for us to
understand!!
I thank you,Lord,for saving me,even though I am having a
rough time;
May my life reflect Your love for others and I be your
vessell
Used by You daily, to help those hurting,in pain,who
need You in their lives ;
Thank You Lord,for saving my soul,Thank You,Lord for making
me whole,
Thank you,Lord,for giving to me,your great salvation so
fresh and free!!!

Wandering,lost my way thru a maze of emotions,conflicting my
way;
Answers elusive,hard to grasp,where is the meaning,feeling
help that lasts;
Life is questionable,hard,terrifying at times to try to live,
Yet I know I am to be here,to give to others,to share & give
God's presence is always with me,even when I don't feel His
Spirit,I trust He's with me,
Holding me,guiding me,loving me,within me, part of me so i can
help others be better,
Even when I don't feel like it,I obey His Spirit,for all He's
done in my Life;
Trusting,knowing,loving and helping me through every single
day and His blessings abound
Around me,through me,for me,so I can't deny He's here for me!
Life isn't trusting emotions,feelings,thoughts or cares;
Life is about commitment,faith,trust and belief in a God who
cares!
I have learned much already through different experiences in
my life
That God loves His people,wants to use us,to touch others
so I let Him do that with my life!
Things will get better the more I let go,the more I trust Him
The less I worry so
I love Him so much,He always takes care of me
Provides my needs,gives me friends who listen and see
God bless all my family,friends and people out there
Cause God does love you,very much,deeply everywhere!

Trying To Find My Way,Amidst The Lost Maze of Emotions and
Thoughts,
Churning,Burning,Inside of my heart,my head,my soul;
Feeling lonely,sad,lost,angry,deprived of true understanding;
Needing human touch,human love,human understanding now during
difficult time of grief and sorrow;
Knowing others are worse off than me,feeling guilty about that
yet still having my own needs to be met;
I do not want to come across as being selfish and conceited,
but rather one who cares and loves others,
Even through this is difficult for me to do during this empty
period of time in my life where I feel nothing;
I desire to serve God with my life,to be His Vessel,show forth
His love,His light His mercy;
Even thuogh I may not feel these things in my own life now,
I know they exist and are true,are real;
I pray God reveals Himself to those who ask for His help,
and that He will continue to use me in His ways;
Lord,help me find my way through these maze of emotions,
they threaten to overtake my life,steal away my joy and peace,
Help me trust in You,knowing You will guide me through this
maze of confusion,
Help me find a good support group and friends who understand
and care,
To help guide me through this process,so I am not alone;
I know You care about all things big and small,
So this I lay at Your feet,praying for Your help,keep me
sane,
Help me not to fall;
Give me strength day to day,filled with your Presenece,
loving me all the way.
I trust in You,My Lord God to heal these emotions and
thoughts,
I know you care about all inside of me,being one of your
children,loving me through this time,all the while,
which gives me comfort and love;
Grant me Your peace,forgiveness,love and strength to see me
through this time,
Let me know Your loving Presence is here beside me daily
all the time;
May Your love be reflected through my life each day,
May it touch many hearts and lives to give glory to You,
and save othes from the turmoil I've had to go through.
I love you,Lord,with all my heart,I praise you,thank You,
daily,for all You do in my life.
Amen.

Emotions gushing,rushing,coming so fast,
Changing,emoting,gripping my heart as a test;
I can't get a grip on my life or mind,damaged as it may be,
Help me,Lord,to sort through all this torment,confusion I see;
Allow me to see a clear path,Lord,the way you would have me go
Allow me to help others even during suffering to serve You so;
All I desire my life to shine forth is Your love to be seen,
Even though I may not be in a place I should be right now,
Help me sort out all this turmoil somehow;
I know You,love You, serve You with my life,
Help me sort through these emotions that are tearing me up
inside
Teach me the things you would have me to know,
Teach me the things you would have me to grow;
Help me trust more in You,help me to give my life over to You;
Be with me daily in my struggles to find my way,
May your grace,peace,guidace and love guide me each and
every day;
Forgive my sins,my regrets,my sorrows,the part of me that is
lost and gone forever;
May you be given all the glory in all I do,may my life
Reflect a love for You!
