when you become a Christian
things around you won’t be perfect
but the heart inside you will be
which makes everything around you
“different”
you become LIGHT
instead of lost in darkness
you become Love
instead of obsessed with lust
you become Peace
instead of connected to drama
you become Hope
instead of drowning in fear
there’s so much more
than just believing
it’s a transformation
from one life to the next
some times
you know as you’ve learned
other times
you learn as you go
and some times
God’s greatest designs
are revealed through mistakes
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
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
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
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
in His Heart
there is freedom
in His Heart
there is joy
in His Heart
there is company
of angels
where heaven breathes
and moves through you
when nature knows
where heaven breathes
and the world looks different
through change
when they learn about
this freedom
and learn about
this joy
and learn about
this company
and enter into His Heart
leaving may be harder
than I thought
driving down Lemon Grove
seeing what’s familiar
then missing it
eyes tearing up
memories flooding
thoughts of what view
will become familiar
new is good
change is good
being in line with God
is good
when you know who you are
there’s no one else you’d rather be
when you know where you belong
there’s no where else you’d rather be
seasons change
but seasons also last
a lifetime
I’m so excited for this new season
