    Slide another plate

    Onto the bar

    That I struggle to lift.

    Add another ten,

    Twenty,

    Thirty,

    Forty.

    I’ll get through it.

     

    Heavier weight,

    Makes for stronger muscles

    Even if it hurts now

    And they’re sore for days after.

    The forge

    Melts the metal.

    The hammer

    Shapes the sword

    His vision

    Overcomes the imperfections.

     

    And between sets,

    Between blows,

    Between pains,

    There are moments of peace.

    There are times to laugh.

    And if now

    Is a time to cry,

    Then let the tears flow

    Let them soak your shirt,

    Your pillow,

    Your heart.

     

    But keep living.

    Laughing

    Does not demean your pain.

    Smiling,

    Does not mean your hurt is worthless.

    Moving forward

    Does not let others down.

     

    Growing

    Doesn’t have to mean 

    Forgetting.

    Remember

    The pain

    Remember

    The forge

    The hammer

    The love

    In your Maker’s eyes

    As He shapes you

    Into His child

    His tool

    His servant.

     

    Do not

    Be overcome

    By the plates

    On your bar.

    Do not

    Be afraid

    Of the hammer

    Coming down.

     

    There is a moment of rest

    Just around the corner.

    There are lights

    In every dark place.

    There is laughter

    Through the deepest of sorrows.

     

    And the pressure

    The worry

    The anxiety

    The to-do’s

    The lists

    The failures

    The hopelessness

     

    They

    Are not all

    That you are.

    Spoiler

    So...on top of everything else happening this month, my mom got surgery today, which means I also need to make sure our animals (and my siblings) get fed and watered, and the house stays clean and in order, and a whole host of other things.

    But do you know what's strange? Despite all that's happening right now, I have hope. And I know that many of you aren't Christian, aren't even religious, but I believe that that is the power of God.

    Hope.

    The ability to see light where there is none.

    The ability to smile as you cry.

    The ability to...well...to think celestial, even when your day to day life is determined to grind you into nothing.

    I love you all. And if you ever need anything, be it advice, laughter, a friend, or a poem for you, I'm here. And so many others are too, even when you can't see it.

    Keep breathing, okay? Keep what hope you have and let it grow. That's what makes this life so beautiful.

    One family.

      Do you mind if I share this, Ruey?

      My words are for those who need them, as long as you don't steal them from me (lol) you can share with anyone.

      Pain, when working out, at least, is weakness leaving the body. And hope is from the peace of God, our rock and our salvation.
