I wrote this poem in a time of pressure. Felt like I was fighting for my spiritual life. I was about to preach the wedding for my step-son/BFF Isaiah and his (now) wife Judith, and I was crumpled by insecurity and doubt that almost led me to despair. I woke up choking on it.

It was so hard to feel so weak and broken when the stakes felt so incredibly high. I love these two so much, and I wanted to help usher in the joy of the occasion.

I’ve had this happen before, where I felt a spike of insecurity before an important milestone. The big and glorious moments often come with serious spiritual resistance.

Can anyone relate?

Anyway, this poem was like a lifeline from God. Writing it felt like climbing a ladder our of the pit, and back into my true self, a truly loved son of God.

Hope you enjoy, and let me know if it encourages you today!
