Blog 3 -- Porcelain Heart

Porcelain Heart

Broken heart, One more time
Pick yourself up, Why even cry?
Broken pieces in your hands
Wonder how you'll make it whole

You know, you pray
This can't be the way
You cry, you say
Something's gotta change
And mend this porcelain heart of mine

Someone said a broken heart
Would sting at first then make you stronger
You wonder why this pain remains
Were hearts made whole just to break?

You know, you pray
This can't be the way
You cry, you say
Something's gotta change
And mend this porcelain heart of mine

Creator, only You take brokenness
And create it into beauty once again

You know, you pray
This can't be the way
You cry, you say
Something's gotta change
And mend this porcelain heart of mine

How do you get over loss?
How do you mend a broken heart?

These questions have been a big part of my thoughts recently. I know the answers, but when you are found in a situation of loss, these questions still have a way of creeping in. As mentioned in my last blog, my sister was having the symptoms of a miscarriage. After some tests it was confirmed that she lost the baby. It has been a hard few days for my family, and especially my sister. The questions crept in...

I know, I know...
I know He'll work it for good.

I know, I know...
I know it's for a reason.

I know, I know...
I know He's still in control.

I know, I know the normal "Christian Word Band-aids." Just sometimes that knowledge is better left unsaid. Sometimes healing doesn't come from trying to work it out logically in our carnal minds, but from crying out in your pain & distress & confusion & frustration. --There is a time to weep & a time to mourn.-- It's okay to be broken without explanation. Our part is to hold out our hands with all of the broken pieces of our porcelain hearts & know, sooner or later, He'll make it whole again.
