My journey as a widow is full of many changes, fears, discoveries about myself, and discoveries about others. Thanks be to God and my loved ones that I never truly walk alone, though it sometimes seems so. Building a new life at my "middle age" is a difficult thing, but it's also a discovery that causes me to stretch my wings, and I think I finally feel like flying.
Winds of Change ~ Lisa Lipka
Was that a knock I heard?
I tentatively listen with excitement…and fear.
And I'm quiet as I breathe the stagnant air.
The winds of change knock upon my silent day.
What do they bring, what word?
If only eagerness were here to lead me to that door.
Hesitant hands and heavy feet stand rooted to the floor.
The winds of change create a force along the way.
What is my purpose for you Lord?
By His grace and mercy my hands begin to move.
Push by faith and fresh air rushes through the room.
