This is real..."hiding is not awesome..the opposite sometimes is...using our gifts, charging ahead like crazy to bless others."...this is Jesus in real living. This is radical like Isaiah speaking true and Hosea loving fully. We are all representing Christ in some way actively touching hearts for kingdom purpose when we step out of shadows and carry grace for others to glean.
Love this!

This means more to me than you can know. It truly speaks the words of my heart and the Words I need to hear.

Oh my, my heart knows these questions. Though I have not lost a child I have watched our daughter struggle to live too often and the questions are real and they need to be asked so we can live faith. Just today when the opportunity to choose fear or faith was presented, His Word rose uo in my heart and all I heard was lean on me and not on your own understanding...acknowledge me...I will direct your path. Prov. 3:5-6
Blessed!
Dawn

You are so wise, Kirsten. Yes, me too. I struggle to appreciate where I am, when I'm there. I am often surrendering my ungrateful heart--my desire to want something different than what He's given. I pray we receive whatever season we are in as a gift. I pray we experience that freedom and that joy--for then we are experiencing life with Him! So happy, as always, to see you here! How did your recent talk go?

Kirsten Holmberg — Wed, 08 Oct 2014 14:37:27 -0000

My ability to embrace whatever season He's put me in is too dependent on how I *feel* about it. A season of sitting on the bench (as Moses did before returning to Egypt) was hard. A recent season of fruitfulness is easier. Wishing I could receive each as a gift, as your words here encourage. Thanks, Jennifer!

OH, how I love the way God made you. Your attentiveness to His heart, your leaning in close to hear, your obedience to write. You bear the heart of God to the world so beautifully. You are like God's heart to me today...tender and gentle. Jesus, thank you for Jennifer. Thank you for filling her with life giving words and giving her the courage to share them here. Her words make me love and long for you all the more!

Wow. You have such a gift for writing. That was truly touching. I have not lost a child, but I am pinning so others can read in hopes it reaches one who needs to read this. Have a wonderfully blessed day :)

Sweet April, your tender heart is beautiful, sister. I love how He holds it, how He holds you. You bless in how you see Him--how you share how you see Him. Stayed tucked in close now, in His shadow. You are safe there. Yes, let the tears out.

Being with God lately causes tears to want to break forth -- oh His love...I spend my time at church fighting this then am so exhausted and anxiety soars...I need -now- to allow Him to open me up and let Him in - and my tears out. It was no accident that we bought baby ducks just now I don't think...I spent my time with God down in the room with them laying on the floor snuggling a pillow just the light of their lamp...so comforting deep and peaceful, life joy filled, such beauty... just like coming here reading and that song...I hurt but His love, joy and life are far more ...these duckies are gonna keep reminding me of this, little lively funny treasures they are...I love ducks Bless you deep, seriously :)

We have four one day old baby ducks and I love to gather them and feel them against my face my hands holding them close and safe the only light that of the heat lamp - so blissfully quiet and still only little ducky noises. I started to ache and realized it was God and He was wanting to gather me the same way. I want to think on this as I sleep tonight and SEE myself like this always. So priceless precious. xo

Jen,
So true...it is so easy to get caught up in our to do list...we're on a parallel track today with our posts :) and it has taken me practice to learn to slow and listen and it is still a daily battle :) for which I must rely on God...XO

Re: I Want to Choose to See

Jennifer Camp — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 15:36:48 -0000

I want this with my whole heat, Sheri--for my children "to blaze a stronger trail of their own". Thank you. XO You are wise and beautiful.
