But God…

Despair like butterfly wings

continuously beats at my heart.

How do I keep the walls from

crumbling down all around me?

Do you see me my Lord; My God, My King?

I stand here struggling trying my best

to hold up four crumbling walls

with only two small hands.

I’m hopeless. I’m helpless.

I’m desolate. I’m pained.

I’m alone.

But God…

Means that Hope Lives.

But God…

Means that Help arrives.

But God…

Means that Love, on Comforting Wings,

comes for me-comes to see me through.

But God…

Means that an intentional Love

surrounds me-is here for me. 

With Jesus by my side,

how magnificent, beautiful,

and sustaining is the phrase But God.

And for that reason

My Help is the Word;

The Word which is God.

God is my Hope. God is my Light.

God is my Strength. God is my Shelter.

God is my Love, and He is always at my side.

 

So, I will rest in Him because

He is my Strong Tower.

I will place my hope in Him because

He is my Source, my Strength.

I will put my faith in Him because

He is Worthy and True.

I will forever Love Him because

He is my Everything.

My situation does not make Him less God

because He is there for me- Strong and Mighty.

Therefore, I am able to lie in

His Comforting Arms and rest when I need to.

Yes, I may walk through the valley of death,

yet, I will not fear the terrors

because He Lives, and He is with me.

Therefore, what was meant to harm me

must now bow down before Him

to be turned around for my good.

Thank You Lord that there is a But God

for my story, for my soul,

and for my life.

"The Madonna of Pisano" by Maryann Diorio - Book One from "The Italian Chronicles"

A young woman, a priest, and a secret that keeps them bitterly bound to each other . . .  

MARIA LANDRO led her little son by the hand as they hurried down the winding road from Bella Terra toward the village. Distant, dark clouds gathered in the morning sky. Looked like a storm coming. The anxiety that had been churning for days in the pit of her stomach now spread to chill every part of her body. It was all she could do to keep herself from turning back.

         Nico tugged on her wrist. "Are we almost there, Mama?"

         She squeezed his hand in return, the hem of her skirt rustling against the pebbles as it swished along the cobblestone road. "Almost, darling. Are you all right?"

         He looked up at her. He had her father's eyes. Kind, deep, and probing. They always made him so easy to love.

         "I'm well, Mama." But his fingers fidgeted in her hand.

         His nervousness only fueled her own. She squeezed his hand more tightly. Please let the village be kind to him. Regardless of what they believed about her.

         A sudden gust of wind caught the end of her headscarf, pulling it back past her temples. "My, the wind is getting stronger. Let's hurry before the storm breaks. We don't want you to arrive at school soaking wet on your very first day, do we?"

         "No, we don't, Mama. I would look silly." He laughed, and an arrow pierced her heart.

         If anyone hurt him . . .
