I went on an alanon retreat this weekend and it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!


I wrote these poems after coming back from this retreat. It was my spiritual awakening so to speak. I am enlightened and the speaker told me what I needed to hear and I am grateful for that and being able to go..... Here are the poems


Awakening from the dark

I just want you to see my dreams today
They are what my heart has to say
The dreams that I dream are very real
They will show you how I really feel
I used to not want to be here
It used to be what I did fear
I am not going to runaway, I am here now God
What did you have to say
I know that you do have a plan
I will try not to interfere
God I will let you steer
I am right where I am supposed to be
So god work through me
I give my whole life to you
I know that you will pull me through
You want me to be strong,so that I can help someone along
Thank You God I will listen
Since you are my very best friend
Your love comes from above
Your peace that of a dove
You speak to me through others
You love me just as I am, You are reaching out your hand
I can choose to follow
or live a life of pain and sorrow
I have that choice
I now have a voice

You will lead me though

If you only knew what goes on inside
I am tired of trying to hide
I feel so ashamed
God, you are not the one to blame
I do hurt, I do cry
there are even times when I couldn't take it anymore and wanted to die
When I think I can't feel you
that is when you are carrying me through
Outstretching your hand and leading me through the land
You are slowly creeping in
I know you know my deepest sin
You are mending a broken heart
You had all this planned from the start
I know it is your will
God,help me to be still
It is your choice not mine
I know it will make sense to me in time

So great you were able to go to the retreat.  Your poems really edify letting Go and Letting your HP heal you from the inside out.  Thank you for sharing a little bit of that peace with us today. 

Hugs,
Twinmom~
