I'm so glad that we've had a pretty calm weekend. Recently I
posted: "Have you ever felt like your life is a Tyler Perry movie waiting to
happen? One morning after getting on
Facebook, I could literally hear Mary J Blige singing, "No More Drama," in my
mind.
Where we always wanted to be the Waltons, we ended up seeming more
like a “Law and Order” segment. And sometimes social media and email subjects
can just downright make you laugh with some of the subjects. Which is good,
because Mama always said, “You have to laugh to keep from crying.” I wish Mama
was still around to say it, but then that’s a whole different blog. (http://thornrose7.blogspot.com/2014/03/linda-lee-wirth-reece-lewis-you-were.html)
She didn’t have to live through the second generations of "hurts,
habits and hang-ups (as said by Celebrate Recovery) in our family; the
grandchildren and great grandchildren that struggle. That would’ve been too much
for her heart. Sometimes I think it’s too much for mine, yet FOR THIS WE HAVE
JESUS!
I may have posted this poem before, but with some feedback
concerning addictions, I’m reposting. Don’t let your dreams die,
moms!
Malachi
3:16 Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord
listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence
concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name.
We
were mothers alive with hope
On
those days long ago
Before
the pain began
Before
the dreams died.
When
they were in our wombs
We
laughed, we dreamed
We
sighed.
No
thoughts of addiction for this child
Did
we even know what addiction meant
Way
back then?
Did
we ever envision anything but a good, wonderful life for our
children?
Of
course not!
While
in our womb,
We
did our best to protect them,
Feed
them well,
Even
take care of ourselves as
Our
bodies were vessels of holiness,
The
gift of life
Dwelled
within us
A
gift from God.
Yes,
children are a gift from God
(Psalm 127:3)
We
didn’t think as adults they might be walking the streets
Backpacks
on,
Wearing
clothes that need washing,
Even
their clothes being stolen
Selling
their plasma,
Dying
in gutters,
NO! LORD THIS IS NOT WHAT WE SIGNED UP
FOR!
THIS
IS NOT OUR DREAMS!
The
world gives darkness for light
The
world shows pain as pleasure
A
distorted view of fun
Satan
has begun
To
deceive
The
elect’s offspring.
But
all my children
Will
be taught of the Lord
And
great will be the peace of my children (Isaiah 54:13)
As
they walk with You
As
they are restored to You
And
they will say, “My Lord and my God”
It
was You all along,
You've
restored my song,
I
will dance for You,
I'm
restored to You,
Eternity
is mine
You were there all the
time
Couldn't
get you out of my mind,
I'm
restored to You at last
I
no longer live in the past
Or
for this dark world.
It
was You all along,
You've
restored my song,
I
will dance for You,
I'm
restored to You,
Eternity
is mine.
Somebody’s
Mother is praying
Knowing,
God has heard
What’s
she was saying
You've
restored my song,
And
my children, too
I
will dance for You,
I'm
restored to You,
Eternity
is ours.
From
Malachi 4: “On the day when I act,” says
the Lord Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them,
just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. And you will
again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those
who serve God and those who do not.
“See,
I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the
Lord comes. He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the
hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land
with total destruction.” COME QUICKLY, LORD JESUS!
No More Drama lyrics:
So tired, tired of these drama
No more, no more
I wanna be free
I'm so tired, so tired
Broken heart again
Another lesson learn
Better know your friends
Or else you will get burn
Gotta count on me
Cause I can guarantee
That I'll be fine
No more pain (no more pain)
No more pain (no more pain)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
Noone's gonna make me hurt again
What a player fool
Go through ups and downs
Nowhere and all the time
You wouldn't be around
Or maybe I like the stress
Cause I was young and restless
But there was long ago
I don't wanna cry no more
No more pain (no more pain)
No more game (no more game messin with my
mind)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
Nooone's gonna make me hurt again
No more tears (no more tears, I'm tired of cryin
everynight)
No more fears (no more fears, I really don't wanna
cry)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
I don't ever wanna hurt again
Wanna speak my mind, wanna speak my
mind
Uh, it feel so good
When you let go
Avoid these drama in your life
Now you're free from all the pain
Free from all the game
Free from all the stress
So bye your happiness
I don't know
Only God knows where the story is
For me, but I know where the story
begins
It's up to us to choose
Whatever we win or loose
And I choose to win
No more pain (no more pain)
No more game (tired of your playin' game with my
mind)
No drama (no more drama in my life)
No more, no more, no more, no more
No more tears (no more tears, no more cryin every
night)
No more fears (no more waking be up in the
morning)
No drama, no more in my life
No more drama, no more drama
No more drama, no more drama
No more drama
No more drama
No more drama
No more drama
No more drama
No more drama in my life
So tired, tired of these drama
Mary J
Blige - No More Drama Lyrics
