The quiet mouse

A long time ago I stepped into the bog of eternal stench. I couldn’t smell it or feel myself sinking into it. I was stuck.

I had some friends who waded into that bog and pulled me out. They cleaned me up listened to my sorrows and held me as I recovered. I was told I would become something that people don’t expect.

Last year sitting along the river enjoying some soul filling peace I decided to finally become what people don’t expect.

They don’t expect a quiet mouse girl.

I didn’t expect to have twins. But it transformed me into an amazing person.

I didn’t expect to get a job that made me want more than what I join life.

I didn’t expect to find coworkers who are running with me to hit my goals.

I didn’t expect any of it. But God did.
