God,
This light and momentary affliction doesn’t compared to the future glory of Yourself You will display. Right? I want to believe in the midst of these slow beginnings of finding my voice. In the dark of places. It’s a little lonely and the way I feel my heart ache for You, I just hope You’ll come soon and show me. This anger and sorrow and rbrokenness is silly in the light of Your but I can’t seem to shed it. Like Sara Groves song about shedding this skin and leaving it on the ground. But you’ve seen
I just noticed I didn’t put “love” after “light of Your” — I know it’s a free write but sometimes I just want to have the words right. It’s like I write faster in my head.
God has been very kind this week and I would like to take a moment to write out some gratitude.
1. The way I’m pretty sure He’s making the fragrance of the flowers my sister gave me really come out in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep.
2. Pretty much goes along with number 1, but friends who listen to your broken heart and tell you it’s okay to be a mess and feel all your feelings and to tell God everything.
3. This morning when the cat seemed to move and lay on the book I’m reading or the bible..forcing me to get quiet and talk to God again. He knows I can’t resist her. Preciousness that she is.
4. Watching Miss You Already on Hulu and feeling sad one minute, happy the next for the depth of this friendship and family and the way it endures through this woman’s battle with cancer. I really didn’t know it had to do with cancer but I read the blurb about friendship and was like, yes please. The mom of the woman with cancer breaks her out of hospice so she can be there for her best friend having her first baby and I’m all: 😍😭😭. I can’t get the movie out of my head. Watch it.
5. God’s patience and love while I get used to being His Beloved and find my voice again. Or maybe the first time. It is terrifying. And good.
And because I can’t leave a post without sharing Sara’s song, here you go. ☺️

Hi Martha. ☺️ I recognized you when you popped up on my phone with this comment. Thank you for stopping by. 💕
Love your gratitude list and your heart, friend. Have a super blessed weekend. #fmf
Thank you, Carolina. I love your heart too. ☺️
Don’t worry about how it sounds while getting your writing out. Get it out, then go back and edit or correct those things that need correcting. That’s what I had to learn to do.
Sometimes writing comes so fast there is no reading while your writing, only afterwards can you fully comprehend what is written. Don’t worry about it, GOD knows what your trying to say.😎
Thank you, Eric. ☺️ I needed to hear that I just need to let it out and then go back because God knows what I’m trying to say. Editing while writing really slows me down.
