"I have dreamt in my life.......

sometimes i think i’ve got it

i think i’m doing so good and then..

i’m hit

i’m hit with the burdens of my expectations, my imperfections

i can’t seem to breathe

and just when i thought I’d learned to breathe deeper than ever

i panic, i cry, i get irrational, i don’t respond to things like i normally would

just when I think i’ll never breathe again

a breath of air floats my way

it floats so softly and gently that i almost miss it

i probably have missed it,

it’s been there all along i just couldn’t take it in

i couldn’t get my mouth to open or my body to inhale before

and now i can part my lips i can inhale as much as I can handle

my body begins to relax out of it’s panic

i’m not breathing as deep as i once was

But someday i’ll breathe deeper

“it is discovering Jesus, finding holy moments daily,

that will make us whole.”
