baby steps

I am coming back to my life in baby steps

taking longer than I would like

I feel I was gone for months instead of days

for each hour stretched endless

anxious, aching

I curl into the arms of my husband

drawing on his strength

and this, right here, is my place in the world

called here, I belong here

part of what God created, one from two

I've come back to my life

home

“Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’ And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”  Matthew 19:4-6 NLT
