Broken but still dancing

My favorite saying fell and broke. That was sad but very fitting for my life right now. I was going to throw it away but then I decided to just keep it and glue it back together. We will see how that works out. But I thought that it was a very good representation of real life. And in the words of my great friend Lyndee "Life sucks, but I'm still dancing!"

I like to write especially poetry, it helps me express myself. I haven't really written any new poems in awhile but today one came to me.
                                                                            Am I?

     When you look at me what do you see?
Am I doing all I can, am I being all I can be?
When my words are spoken, when you hear my voice
Am I saying the right things, am I making a good choice?
When you look into my heart, when you see my soul
Am I broken to you or am I whole?
When your children are at my side
Am I being the mother you knew I would be, do I fill you with pride?
Or do you regret giving them to me?
Am I doing enough to bring them back to thee?
Do I make you laugh and smile
Or am I a never ending trial?
Do you think I am strong and brave?
Am I worthy to save?
I think I am to you, for you were there in Gethsemane 
But am I, to me?
-Amie L. Jensen
The Lord never gives us more than we can handle. Or so I have been told many times. I realized that I have faith in this and my Heavenly Father, but what I need to have is faith in myself and trust. Heavenly Father believes in me, so I need to believe that I can handle what I have been given. I need to believe in me and just keep dancing.
