					<description><![CDATA[<p>There was a time, when rock bottom was real, and all I could say was 'help' But the Son rose again for such times and  with Him I found hope. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Clockwork hamster in a wheel &#8211; constantly running, running.</p>



<p>Roller coaster, up up, higher, faster, faster still</p>



<p>Stop the world I want to get off.</p>



<p>Can’t stop. Won’t stop.</p>



<p>Got to go. Got to keep going.</p>



<p>Why?</p>



<p>If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well,</p>



<p>Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today,</p>



<p>&nbsp;Silent screaming.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Prove yourself. Be better, be the best</p>



<p>Why?</p>



<p>No such word as ‘can’t.’</p>



<p>Must keep going…</p>



<p>The spring relentlessly turning, tighter tighter.</p>



<p>Climbing up the glass mountain…slipping, sliding.&nbsp;</p>



<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Stop…</p>



<p>Want to.. but how..?</p>



<p>One day…Unknown trigger…Run for cover. No choice.</p>



<p>Despair. Lock the world away. Cowering in a corner.</p>



<p>It hurts so much.</p>



<p>Oh GOD help me, find me. Hold my hand, pull me free.</p>



<p>The spring has sprung. The coil is broken. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Snapped.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Broken brain. Broken heart. Family shattered.</p>



<p>Not one step further, not one step more,</p>



<p>Ease the pain&#8230;Hold me Lord.</p>



<p>‘Help’, &nbsp;is all I can say.</p>



<p>There’s a light. Shining through the mire.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Glimmering– is it the end of the tunnel?</p>



<p>Friends; throwing lifelines, &nbsp;being anchors, some swaying with the wind.</p>



<p>Like a flower opening, slowly, petal by petal.</p>



<p>Stigma to the Light.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Colours &#8211; cautious, carefully, unfolding, revealing bright, brittle beauty.</p>



<p>Turning to the sun. Bathing and relishing it’s warmth and light.</p>



<p>Turning to the SON, relishing His warmth and peace.</p>



<p>Restored, renewed. Replenished. Learning to live again. Slowly, surely.</p>



<p>Son worshiper. Light in that darkest place.</p>



<p>A heart filling, &nbsp;fit to burst, Joy uncontainable, grace unbounded.</p>



<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Peace immeasurable, knowledge steadfast,</p>



<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The wheel has stopped, new life begins.</p>
