This was a long time long ago..
I have kept it in my diary..
No offense intended to anyone!


Prayed on my knees..
Waited for you
to answer
My pleas..
But you didn't..
I know
I know..
Some answers
are not heard..
Have to wait.
And even when you answer
Might be too late.
I know have faith..
I had faith when my family
was taken from me..
Faith when
I was beaten..
Faith when I was alone..
Faith when I was
on the floor..
Beating my fists
praying to you..
Just for the strength
to see me through..
Faith when I was
Blown off..
Thrown down..
Eaten alive
Inside and out..
And I waited..
And I sang your song..
Jesus loved
the little children
All the children
of the world..
But he didn't see me..
Bloody wrists
I hold up to the skies..
Asking my God
Why?
Suffer the children..
Filled with sin
Suffer the children..
No chance to win.
I hold my life up to you..
And pray
Father forgive me please..
I don't know what I am doing..
Now I give myself back to you..
Back to you I am going.

Erica~

Erica, you are one of the two bravest, strongest woman I know here in AD. Taking ***t from other people in our lives is hard enough, but to have to take it from GOD? Not for me, sorry.

My heart goes out to you. I can only imagine the feelings of pain and fear you must have felt at this time in your life. I hope that things are better for you now. :) Kerry

i've been there...i've gotten so angry, i've cursed God...WHEN'S IT GONNA BE MY TURN??? that speaks volumes, i've said it myself...God answers prayer in three ways, i believe...no, yes, and not yet...it's when he says "not yet" that it is the hardest...we just have to wait...the answers will come in HIS time, not our time...and that isn't easy...but the answer is forthcoming...very intense, emotional piece, erica...thanks for sharing...(((HUGS))) and i'll pray for you, too...pray for me...love, karla. :(

Hi Erica,
God always hears us and replies...
Only sometimes we
just don't hear Him...

Great write..

Heart rending and powerfully moving write. Yes...sometimes it does feel as if He isn't "there" for us--but one day, we will see that He truly was...

i feel sometimes that god doesn't care for me, but i know that is totally untrue. i now know he does, and he answers prayers when HE wants, not when WE would want (although we'd LOVE to have him do so; but you know that won't happen until HE sees fit!)! i have been at the end of my rope at times with god, but i know that he'll never leave or forsake me. that is my comfort, and that is what keeps me going. please don't give up on god; that would be the WORST thing you could possibly do! my thoughts and prayers are with you today! love, your friend in texas, karen lynn. ((((HUGS)))) to you, erica! :(

Erica ...this could not be any more powerful or frightening and I hope these feelings were of long ago..no offense...sometimes we feel that God isnt answering..because we want Him to answer now and what we want..but He does it in His own way and when He wants..when the time is right..thats why He is God..this was awesome..tragic..and sorrowful..Floria
