Diana

Good enough.
That's what she always
always
always
longed to be.

But things become
ugly
and
unmanageable
when we center on

ME ME ME ME ME.

Her failed attempts at
GOOD ENOUGH =
Plenty.

Striving to achieve
Begging for love
Dying to forget
Unable to fit

She turned to
any and all
that would dull
the forever nagging:

You
Aren't
Good
Enough.

She was taught to be
silent
about her rips/holes/tears
of the heart.

"We don't speak of
SUCH
things here."

We don't speak of
unwanted babies
grabbing the needle
inhaling the powder
swallowing the poison.

We don't speak of
reaching for acceptance
ignoring the danger
seeking love in horrid places
forgetting our self worth.

We don't speak.
We mask.
So she masked to
forget forget forget.

Then she found them.
Well, they found her.
The SPEAKERS.

The unmasked
few who were/are becoming
Many.

The Many who speak because
they know their sins aren't
MASKED but
WASHED
by a Savior.

To
speak
is to bring Him
Glory.

To bring Him
Glory
brings
beauty forth
from the
shattered shards of their
broken lives.

They invited her in.
She began to
SPEAK.

They invited her to lead.
She continued to
SPEAK.

She fell on her face.
And instead of hiding she
SPOKE.

Because speaking
and being spoken to
about what she masked
created the bridge
of

"I've been there."

Each misstep
she spoke.

And He
received ultimate
Glory.

There is only
shame in
silence.

And so she speaks.

And so should you.



Diana's Prayer:

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. Ephesians 5: 8-11
