there’s a quiet place of the heart
unseen by man
but known by God
where requests are never made
but desires are known
and answered
where a thought becomes a prayer
because it came from the heart
when His Spirit lives in you
there’s always communion
know it
seek it
learn it
live it
do you know what an honor it is
to be Scott’s wife?
what a privilege to be one
unto death?
a covenant
commitment
a lifetime of one
words swim in my heart
amongst the tears
as to what this means
to me
to God
to Scott
oh what a blessing
to be awake
to be alive
to love well
forever
it’s funny how tears flow
sometimes inside
sometimes sideways
sometimes all over the place
somewhat like rain
sometimes there’s warning
but other times
the skies are blue
the sun is out
and rain just falls
Have you ever had a dream you wanted to get out of? Have you ever had a dream you wanted to stay in? Well, last night, I had both.
Here’s a taste of the dreams I wanted out of: Continue reading
yesterday
cleaning the garage
I came across two letters
from my girls
one asking for twenty five minutes
the other asking for fifty nine minutes
of a loving family
that moment
when you feel your heart break
and drip
I began to cry
THIS is why I’m so grateful
THIS is why I write
do you have any idea what HE’s done?
do you even know how HE’s changed my life?
my grateful tears
ran into regret
and the sobbing began
regret
always referred to as bad
but how can one not
searching deeper within
I looked up regret’s definition
as a verb
feel sad
repentant
disappointment
as a noun
feeling of sadness
repentance
disappointment
I regret the damage I’ve caused others
I regret certain things from the past
but it’s not a verb I practice
and it’s not a noun I live in
I breathe
stand
and live
in joy
grateful that I’m
forgiven
“Sometimes, it takes many compliments to build someone up but only one complaint to tear them down.”
The other day, I received two complaints about my worship flags. It seems SO easy to focus on those complaints, rather than the hundreds of compliments I’ve received. The thought of quitting didn’t take long to hear. It was crazy and made me think of this quote.
A couple weeks ago, I woke up with the worst headache ever. It was so severe; I went for Advil “before” I prayed. The pain was present for two days. On the second day, I decided to rely on God rather than Advil, and it left. Well…not forever. Continue reading
if you look hard enough
you’ll find pain in the world
but if you look past that
you’ll find freedom Continue reading
Yesterday, as I was washing dishes, I was reminded of a past Christmas gift from Scott and began to think about a gift from God. Continue reading
