The Real Work Just Began

I am attempting to be sure to exercise patience...
In my former hell I was writing, reading, smoking, pleading, meditating, and waiting

I manifested the move- I worked for it. 
Then boom! I get here, I'm working immediately, I am thinking things will just come to me but I begin getting exhausted. 

Then Boom! I realize the real work has just begun. 
I am not motivated- you can't bet on motivation- it comes and goes.
I am exhausted though. I was given sleeping pills/Anti-depressants. Now I am exhausted lol. The most tired Ive been in a long time. 

I don't even feel like getting up to fix me some food so you know I am exhausted. 

BUT GOD! 
One day this will all make sense. God said this is the year of Recompense!

We all will make it. Some way, Some how. We all will make it-if we so choose to strive for Righteousness... 

When you're in hell you're so confused and working so hard to get out. Little do you realize once you're out is when the real work has begun. Remember Job in the Bible...Joseph...? They never mention how exhausted they were when God put them back in position... Well, let me head to this kitchen. 

Daylights savings. God is greater than this world. Some souls cannot be saved. 
Grateful mine can. 

Talk to you soon xx Gu

Make sure you lead as normal a life as you possibly can. Carry on, don't give up don't give in. Its easy for me to say, and harder for you to do it, But your poetry is amazing, which makes YOU amazing. C'mon do it with me now. Sit up straight, chin up, smile on your face. Write again soon, Please. I will be watching for it. Best wishes my dear Login to Reply

Stephan McBride Date: 3/13/2023 9:41:00 AM I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. Philippians 4:12 NIV Great to hear from, May you embrace the rest, peace and joy unto your soul through your struggles to come so far while giving praise to God, glad you ended with going to kitchen: ). Look forward to many more poems Login to Reply

Constance La France Date: 3/13/2023 8:44:00 AM Gu, your poem is full of raw emotion, well done. And I want to say one thing to you, sometimes taking sleeping pills/Anti-depressants just make things worse. Be careful, blessings, Constance Login to Reply
