3 AM

It is 3 am

I am wide awake

I feel you are awake also

Not sure why God has tethered us together like this but i know He has

I am not allowed to pray for you

I think of putting my hand on your chest and feeling your heart

Comfort and peace is what i wish to give you

But confusion and stress is what i seem to cause instead

I sit staring in the dark thinking about what i can do

Even though i can not pray for you i still thank God for you

Tethered in the spirit united in the flesh is how i feel

I close my eyes and touch my chest and ask God to heal the only one i can feel tonight

Sweet and pleasant dream my dear

i hate him

I hate him

I hate him because he hurt you

I hate him because he is in control

I hate him because he stole what was not his

I hate him because he will not let you go

I hare him because he won’t let you heal

I hate him because when i look in the mirror i see i am just like him

im sorry

When last we spoke you said I broke your trust and made it all about me. I listened and took those words to heart. I did not mean to break your trust and it was not my intention to make it all about me. I am sorry and ask for your forgiveness.

In the past, I felt led to ask questions and to question choices that did not aline with the beliefs you had shared with me. These questions were not easy for me to ask, as I knew they tended to steer up strong emotion and increase your stress. The last thing I wished to do was hurt you or push you away. I only wish for you to heal and believe that can only happen when we reach our earthly limits and choose to fall into the hands of Jesus. He is the only one that can bring us healing.

My only purpose now is to be quiet and listen. When and if you wish to talk I will always be here. God brought two broken people together so He could show that His love can heal all pain. You have helped me to find that healing and I pray I am able to help you find yours. You are my sister in Christ and I wish you to be free from your pain. God has great plans for you, trust in His love.

your will

Heavenly Father i wish to honor you. Help me to die to my will and wants and to lean into you so i may find and understand your will for me. And if it is your will for me to move on, please take this desire and dreams away from me. Provide me with peace so i may let go and find the happiness and joy you have planned for me. But if it is your will for me to stay and be a vessel of yours to help her heal, then write it on the tablet of my heart so i may know it is from you. And i may honor you with my service.

broken trust

I broke your trust and i did not mean to

I broke your trust and did not see it

I broke your trust and i feel uneasy

I broke your trust and lost my meaning

I broke your trust now i am displeasing

I broke your trust and lost my peace

I broke your trust and fear your flee from me

I broke your trust and wish you to forgive me

I wish you to heal

I wish you not to hurt

I wish i could take your pain

I wish you could let go

I wish you could move forward

I wish you could start new

I wish you could reopen your heart

I wish to see you smile

I wish to see you happy

I wish i could do more

do you think

Do you think i wish to hurt you

Do you think it is easy for me to see you cry

Do you think i don’t see your pain

Do you know how much i care

Do you know how i wish to ease your pain

Do you know how much i wish to see you happy

Do you know how much i pray that you will heal

i say painful thing because i care

Today i upset you again. It seems like all i ever do is say things that make you have a visceral reaction. You tell me i know nothing about it and that i need to stop bringing up things from the past. I wish i did not truly believe that God was instructing me to talk to you about the thing that hurt you the most. But if i am to die to my will and accept His will for me then i need to be bold in my walk. I do not say these things to hurt you but to provide you with an opportunity to be released from the pain these things bring you. How can you be happy if you are unable to deal with your past? I speak from experience in knowing that we are unable to share our pain and release it to God, we are doomed to be held by it for the rest of our lives. I wish above all else that you find happiness with someone, but that will never happen if you are emotionally bonded with your past.

God Bless the Red, White and Blue

Dear Lord, I’ve fought for freedom
for many nights and days
It’s now on bended knee I come to you
These words please hear me pray.

For all my friends and patriots
who never said a word
Just raised their hand and gave a nod
When they were asked to serve.

Please honor them and hold them
Your love keep them from harm
May they find some peace tonight
In Your loving arms.

For all who love this country
and stood up so brave and true
It’s only for her rights we fight
God bless the red, white and blue.

Amen

About Air Force Veteran Andrew Clark and What DAV Means to Him

Andrew Clark felt called to serve and defend the freedoms he cherishes. In 2001, Andrew enlisted in the Air Force and saw two deployments to Iraq. In 2003, he deployed with the Security Forces for Operation Iraqi Freedom, and deployed again in 2004.

Andrew’s service-related injuries – Traumatic Brain injury and epilepsy among them – have impacted his ability to easily navigate the course of his day. Thankfully, DAV has been there for Andrew. DAV helped him receive his full range of benefits, and today, Andrew pays it forward by helping other veterans through the DAV Chapter in his community.

Thanks to DAV, Andrew says
he wakes up with a purpose again.
