Peace Like a River | Giclée Art Print christmasWatercolor on Arches watercolor paper. I used to sob uncontrollably when I heard the hymn It Is Well With My Soul. There were other songs that did the same. I could not sing them; I could barely listen; the emotions took over. Now I know that my body was in a stagnant state of fight flight freeze from trauma. But when I heard these songs, I felt the nearness of God so strongly, that I felt safe enough to release some of that emotion. He is my Safest
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork
My kids were out of school for Spring Break
Pink poppies
Thou hast brought me to the valley of vision
hemmed in by mountains of sin I behold thy glory
and we were interviewed about going to the fair in the rain and it aired on the news
the emotions took over
Say to those who have an anxious heart
I felt the nearness of God so strongly
And a highway shall be there
Deciding to work your way through trauma is terrifying
and make firm the feeble knees
