I AM SO EXCITED - Poem

This poem kind of speaks for itself really... wrote it six months after completing my year of counselling, as I was getting back onto my feet and 'living' again!

I AM SO EXCITED

God, You made me

You fashioned me

And I am slowly grasping

The fact that You love me

You made me in Your image

I could never ask for anymore

And yet You had to watch

Someone come along and break me

While on Sunday’s they praised Your name

You had to watch me

Then build such strong walls

In order not to let this happen again

That even You were hardly ever

Welcomed back inside

AND YET YOU NEVER GAVE UP

And I am so excited

Because now I am slowly

Beginning to glimpse

A tiny bit of the person

That You had planned for me

And looking back to where

I have come from - it almost

Seems possible, with Your help

That You can still use me

In a way that can bring others

To know Your precious love

The visions and the compassion

That You have placed in my heart

Are just beginning to transform

And right before my eyes

You are surely changing me

To become more like You

AND I AM SO EXCITED

THANK YOU LORD
