"Before you were conceived I wanted you.
Before you were born I lovedyou. Before you were here an hour I would die for you.
This is the miracleof love."
- Maureen Hawkins

rejection

What rejection can do to the soul. It can rip it apart and rend it in half. It can leave it isolated and longing for an identity. Rejection can keep the good out and let the bad in. Flooding the mind and soul with thoughts and feelings of lonliness, pain, and bitterness. It has no preference of its person. It comes to steal, kill, and destroy the soul.

But God...

Only the Creator can cure such a wound. He knows its intricacies and battle wounds by heart. NOTHING is hid from Him. And nothing is insignificant to Him. It all matters to Him. And He is here to heal the brokenhearted and to bind up their wounds. His love covers all things. He covers all your wounds with Love and the Blood and it heals. He sees the wounds, the devestation, and has nothing but love for you. He is here to heal. Let Him?

Hot Sauce

My anger, always angry, or irritated. Why is that? How am I suppose to nuture this soul, make it strong and open and loving, when all I am is irritated? Help me Lord. I don't want to be angry anymore. I am living in a dessert place where your precense and people are few and far between. I feel misunderstood and rejectd by everyone around me. They don't know the things I see and what they mean. They think me weird. How to be what you made me and not be a social outcast. That is one I don't know yet. I wish I were with people of like mind, but you have me here to inluence those around me. Influence them through me Lord, because I have no influence left. Feed my daughter through me Lord when I feel I have nothing for her. When I feel the rejection and misunderstanding around me takes everything from me, please let Your kingdom come through me.

The King Walks In

What happens when the King walks in? I sat in a service full of worship and praise when Love and Peace walked in. He walked in front of me and His precense pressed against my chest. I was in wonderment that my flesh felt His precense, His passing by. He walked in. He came. And I wept with the joy of feeling His company once again. He loves me and to say I love Him would only be putting it in terms which seem to small to comprehend the profoundness. I love Him because He first loved me. How could you not love Him when He comes for YOU and love is all you feel from the one who created you? The King walked in and came for me. The King walked in and loved me. The King walked in and found me. He knew where I was the whole time.

these feet

These feet. They go many places. Go in the Name of the Lord! Move forward for His purpose. He has one for you, you know? Go up the mountains and through the valleys. Go where he leads you and your soul will find contentment in life. Learn to trust His voice. It will not lead you astray. He has more for you then you know. Go with Him these feet. Go with Him.

a quest for life

There is life there. I know it is somewhere. Looking, looking way down deep. Trying to pull it up from the depths. Trying to keep graspe of it. Then the light shines through. Bright beautiful life. The warmth of the light brings safety and strength. And it comes up willingly. Able to reach the top without effort.

Lord, shine your light on the dark places. Bring Your light where there is only darkness in my heart, so that life may spring forth effortlessly. Bring Your new life.

the piece

Your home should be a haven. Mine doesn't always feel that way right now. It is small and we are crampt in it. There are many projects that need to be addressed and updates and upkeeps that need decided upon. But this amoire is one piece in my home that when I look at I feel a sense of calmness come over me. I love this piece. The first time I saw it - it was love at first sight - and the price was reasonable. It is a large piece, but I have never regretted buying it. Right now it houses all our shoes. A beautiful place that has kept the shoes we walk the day in, and night. And as we keep walking throughout our lives.
