Beyond Abuse Ministry has a new blog...

I never thought I would be doing this--setting up a ministry for the purpose of reaching out to others who have experienced abuse.  But it is time...and I am excited to be involved in it. 

My first posting on Beyond-Abuse.org is a poem that defines my heart.  It explains why I do what I do-- and it extends an invitation.

Come on... all my sisters who are ready to reclaim your treasures.  Come along, all of you supporters who have held us while we heal.  My husband, Mike, my dearest friends, my counselors, and most of all my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It's about Time...

Its About Time, by Linda Settles

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 |

A Poem by Author Linda Settles

Its about time… that we move beyond abuse

That we linger no longer in the wastlands of refuse.

That we pick up all the pieces and brush away the grime

That we reclaim the beauty we thought we’d left behind.

The wonder of our innocence, of a joy yet undefiled

The glory of all women to bear the Father’s smile.

The crown He placed upon us in the courts of heaven fair

Before he crafted body parts and bid us breathe the air

Of a planet thrown in conflict by the clash of weapons formed

by innocence dismembered since from the Garden torn.

It’s time that we remember, The One from whence we came

to trod the paths upon the Earth and assume a human name.

For the Spirit of Almighty has not forgot the life

Rendered to the care of a human man and wife.

SO…

As the sun spins ’round the earth in honor of His might

Don’t you think … It’s about time-to dance away the night?

Hi Linda: My name is Winged. I write Winged for Art Therapy. I like your poem above very much. So many of face past demons, we never really know what is driving our art. I am new on the block, too. My website is www.wingedforarttherapy.com. I am looking for poetry like yours to display on my website for an organization called Hope for Women in the Arts. I know you don't know me, but I am as loyal as a puppy, I would like to post your poem in my September blog. Would that be okay? Of course, I will write copyrighted with your name. Write back. Thank you. Winged
