Shatter Proof
Shatterproof is my new blog for 2007. 2006 was the year of the Jo. 2007 is about that solid core inside me that keeps me from shattering completely. 2007 is about God, and the transformation of me and my life I hope for in Him. Welcome readers, old and new, to Shatterproof

Tightrope

Balanced, precariously.
One wrong step and it's all over,
plummeting downwards.
Everything balanced.
Such an effort to keep upright,
keep everything together.
Pushed and pulled,
shaken.
Can't see what to hold on to.

Unbalanced.
I sense myself falling.
Can I stop it?
Do I embrace the blackness?
Or fight it?
Too tired to fight,
the embrace calls out to me,
I long to fall
into its deceptive charms,
a siren call of lies
dressed up all pretty.

But I must fight.

    Well, now is the time to hold on - it was not for nothing that you called this blog 'Shatterproof' and while I will say that this may not be the worst time of this year (only over half way) you still have to understand that you can be more than you were the day before.

    It is a dangerous thing to see your exes and your crushes girlfriends' as merely 'eye candy' - or worse, understandable as it is - you're hurting and that is good to be able to feel [far worse when you are so deadened to the pain you no longer feel it] but you should try to see them as more than that - as you should also see yourself as more than that.

    If we did not want something we would not be tempted by it - and therein lies the appeal to try to taste as much as you can without being caught up in it... Like a child trying to pinch sweeties in a candy store...

    In the end, I would like to see you loving yourself as God loves you and while it may take time to be able to face yourself - do not worry about how others see you. Be reassured by how many folk care for you and by God's love for you.
