God Sees You

-
I received this from a friend:"Yesterday while a woman I work with named Marilyn was driving home, she had a very heavy heart about a situation in her life.  She had been praying about it for a long time and was wondering if God was listening.  While asking Him if He was paying attention to her, she looked in the sky and this is what she saw.  Amazed, convinced that no one would believe her if she simply described it, and not so sure she wasn’t just seeing things, she pulled over and took this picture with her iPhone.  You may recognize the scenery; Marilyn pulled over in the parking lot of the furniture store on 84 near Texas Central Parkway.  Look closely at the cloud.  It is heart-shaped.  Zoom in on it…it has an M in the center of it.  There’s a heart-shaped cloud with an M in the middle of the heart. Marilyn had been praying asking God if He was paying any attention to her and right there in the sky He placed a heart-shaped cloud with her initial in the middle of it.  How’s that for a sign?"

God did that for me at the end of a very rough day earlier this year. Look up.

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...
