Many Waters Cannot Quench Love

-

It's late and I just got in from a date with my bestie. I sit here in the Conservatory (I have a Conservatory, funny) writing and thinking. I have a heavy heart watching Kristi go through all of the things that she is going through. Have you ever wished you could throw up for someone so that they didn't have to? Now, I am no fan of throwing up, mind you, but I would do it if I could. I must say to you though...I am praising God for her trials!! I love to watch Big Papa work!! It's a Holy Ghost carpet ride through wonders and beauty. Jehova Rapha has been at work healing relationships and hearts through her struggle. Jehova Jireh has poured out provision. I am grateful that I get to watch. I get a little of the Holy Spirit overflow. I love it.

As I sit here typing away, I am thinking about Hosea. Do you know the story? Love like that is rarely seen these days. Love like that is in books and old movies. That leads me to a question. What moves you? What fills your cup? I want to get to know you. If anything makes you kinder, stronger, more fierce, more passionate, more playful....I want to know what it is. Share.

Many waters cannot quench love;
Rivers cannot wash it away . . .

It's knowing God is healing my heart from the emotional, sexual, and physical abuse I have suffered. Walking through this journey, and hearing other's stories of healing, is sooo encouraging to my heart.

Also, it's watching one of my church's pastors & his family being the hands & feet of Jesus to a single mom & her 2 girls.

It's watching Jesus move another's heart to tears.

A hug and a smile from someone just when I need it, reminds me that Jesus is close.

A young person following Christ and not the things of this world.

People worshiping God with their hands and voices in church.

Seeing my family grow closer to God.

A relationship reconciled and healed.

David Crowder's House Restoration

-

A recent edition of Waco Today featured David Crowder's six year renovation project(we had to go check it out). I said a quiet prayer that God would let our house be completed before six years was up for us and then I dove in to the details. David and his wife bought the home of the man who invented Dr. Pepper. It is encouraging to see something that took so much effort and energy come to completion. May we soon see the same thing. You can read the story of the Crowder renovation here .

A Writer's Callous

Alright, baby photo below. Quit emailing me! ;-) I remember having a writer's callous when I was five years old. In my adolescence I hated it. Now, I find it fascinating. Almost as long as I have been alive I have borne a mark that declares I am passionate about something in such a way that it bores into my skin. I have been blessed with wonderful Apple products to use and I still prefer writing things out. I heard Michelle Pfeiffer say David Kelley writes out all of his award winning shows on yellow legal pad. I like that. I prefer a journal and a real wood pencil (the kind that are stained, not the yellow ones.) There's something romantic about it to me. Writing is a choice medium in my relationship with God . I love to prayer journal. I pour out thanks for every minute that I get to spend doing it. In last weeks post I told you that God broke my Mac so I would spend some time alone with Him (then I can have it back in January). Shortly thereafter the enemy came in tel...

Miscarriage | Infertility | Hope

I encountered Jesus as a young child in a church pew in the balcony of an old country church. Through a lifetime of trial, I knew he was there. I did not always know or understand what he wanted of me, but I knew I was wanted. We could go through all of the pain and abuse of my life and unpack each tiny detail, but that is not what this is really about. I love what Frederick Buechner said, “Pain is not the biggest thing that has ever happened to you.” That is true. I have beheld far greater glory. As I clung to his word through all of this, I knew he was there.   My story about trying begins long before I began trying to have children. I tell you this because almost half of the population has been abused in some way. The attack on my uterus began when I was four-years-old. I spent most of my life believing that I was broken and I was crippled by shame. I carried that shame into every relationship I had. As I encountered people in the church, I never felt safe enough to ask for...
