Ready, Set...

        

         I have a message to tell. Today it is clear and feels urgent. Almost
as if I could burst, it needs to come out so bad! The Lord is stirring something within me. I want nothing more today than to tell someone about Jesus. In fact, I want to tell a lot of people about Him.  A message of Hope and Love and renewal.  A message of the crazy pursuit of Him to us. I feel that my feet are at this moment being equipped and fitted to carry this gospel message with love and authority. I am excited because this reminds me of a prayer that two different people in two different towns, 5 years apart both prayed over my feet. The same prayer! In both instances they were praying with me, when they told me(one of them a bit sheepishly) that the Lord was urging them to pray over my feet.  So they knelt down and put their hands on my feet and prayed very similar prayers and they both prayed the scripture that says, "How 
beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news."  Romans 10:15  Today I feel hopeful, excited and humbled to feel this stirring and I pray it is not fleeting.

       ODE to the Bleeding Hearts Here’s to all the mothers, lovers, brothers, friends.  To all the fathers, sisters and children. This is to each of you,  who after whatever sleep you were able to find last night, slowly opened your eyes this morning.  And then remembered. For that moment when you realized it wasn’t just a terrible dream and you close your eyes again, hoping to forget. For that sharp, stabbing pain of loss right in the middle of your gut that goes so deep that even your soul literally hurts, literally feels pain.  For you as you curl up in a vain attempt to hold it together as hot tears fall from your face and sounds escape you that you don’t recognize. This is for however many mornings that you face in this exact same way and wish you could just go back to sleep and not ever remember the reality again.   This is for you Dear One, as you try to process through a fog what this means for today....

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

                                                                               Sometimes in the funky seasons, when things seem quiet and lonely, we have to go back to rest on what has already been spoken; what has already been proven. When the quiet aches of our hearts ring so loudly in our ears and it's hard to hear beyond the noise.  When we find ourselves empty and unsure of which way to move or if we want to move at all.  When we can come to the end of ourselves and vain searches to fill the voids and can open our hands that are scarred and bleeding from gripping tightly to memories of yesterday for fear of losing them all together. When we can look up to see the ones that we love that are here, rather than withholding love because we are busy looking down at these hand...

Sushi

                                                       Sushi    I don't even care for Sushi, but that is the first thing that comes to my mind when I try to describe my life right now. Not at all because I don't care for my life, but because my everything seems so simply complex.  When someone asks me how I am doing, I wish I could just say, "Sushi" and that they would get it without looking at me weird.  Last week marked the one year anniversary of my sister Ashley passing away and the one month mark of my mama passing away.  What the heck?! I'm not even sure if that is computing in  my brain fully. Jesse was kind enough to protect this night for me to be home alone, to do whatever I want or even "curl up in a ball and cry", he suggested. Not because he  gets joy when I curl up in a ball and cry, but because i...
