One More Day

Posted November 2009 in Journey Notes by Dawn Harris


The days when I feel the weakest, I fall into the arms of my Father and He gently reminds me that “Father” is not a name of authority OVER me, but a name that shows unconditional love FOR me.

Lately the battle has taken a turn and when I thought I was almost at the end, I was spun around and placed back in the horrid places to fight once again.

Defeated and exhausted I fell in a heap and began to surrender to the darkness around me.  I started pulling away from all that I once held dear and started to let go…I wanted to fade away.  

As I was letting go, a hand grabbed mine and pulled me back.  For that I am forever grateful.

My strength is all but gone.  My determination is fading.  My desire to fight one more time does not exist, but I am still here. 

Sometimes that is enough…

I can no longer see where I am going or why I am going at all.  Everything in me wants to just stay here and die.  But to think that this has all been for nothing…no!   I can’t believe that all of this ends here where I started.  Where is the grace in that?  What is the purpose?

So once again I stand and pray I can make it one more day.
