There are moments like eternity that consume my thoughts. As I sat pondering within this precious heart of mine all that You have placed so deep; I stumble upon the all to familiar desire...the one that has outlasted every point in my journey. The desire to write...I live and breathe stories. Words on the page...across my lips....to my ears, past my heart...it is Your gift placed deep within my soul! It is my measure of all that You do. I get lost in the breath of the spirit as I write; when I look back upon what the paper now reads I am in awe because I see it was not me at all. I learn from my own writing, simply because I am not writing but instead opening up to YOU and becoming a conduit for Your inspiration. Words on paper can be meaningless but they also can be heaven breathed and inspiring. May the words never stop flowing through my fragile human hands and may Your Spirit always find me surrendered to this gift You have bestowed upon my soul! The early morning hours welcome me into Your creativity; a space and a time to write. A time to explore all that carries on throughout my day, my night and within my thoughts, desires and sleepy dreams. You are a God who speaks and I praise You that my ears have heard, my eyes have seen and my heart knows....but mostly that my hands write and my lips speak of all You have done for me.
The last year has been such a place of finding You are not simply what I think You are;
You are a mystery....You are an adventure...You are a surprise birthday party....You are the same but You change me with every breath. I long for more, Lord. I do not want to fall away from Your gaze for one second. I want to be lost in what You are making me. So very lost that only through You can I ever be found, can I ever stop wondering, can I be still and know...
The contents of my heart are known to You, the Love I have overflows as I watch the design You have taken on Your creation. I hear the whisper for this moment; I have not lost it....Micah 6:8 “He has shown each man what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with Your God.” May I trust You more each day with the hearts and stories of others as I equally rest knowing my story is Yours as well. May I be humble in knowing I do not know.... May I trust the unknown into Your precious hands once more and simply act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with You Lord. You are the author of my story may I live and write in that awareness; may the world become the background and this the reality I dwell in. I place my heart in Your hands knowing to be still as You continue to reveal the capacity for love; the perfect love that You meant when You breathed Your promises into my soul.
