"Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops; What if Your healing comes through tears; What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near What if the trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?" //Laura Story; Blessings There are so many emotions, memories and other things tangled up in this, that I think we have not fully comprehended the extent of the decision that we have to make. But I've made a decision to submit, and I have to trust that God will lead us to where he wants to go, do what he wants us to do. Even when the night is dark, be the light by the side of our feet. Even when we cannot see the road ahead, be our eyes. Even when the going get tough, be our feet to carry us through.
"Do you know what hurts so very much? It's love. Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are two things we can do when this happens. We can kill that love so that it stops hurting. But then of course part of us dies, too. Or we can ask God to open up another route for that love to travel.” " //Corrie ten Boom; The Hiding Place Maybe you don't know how much it actually means to me, even after I've tried my best to express it in words. But for some reason, it feels like some wound from the past was closed up today. To know that there is someone out there who will really put down all the things that he needs to do and come through for me, just because I really need him to. Someone who sees through all the fronts I put up and knows exactly how I'm feeling. Someone who esteems me and loves me above the many other things which call out for his attention. Someone whom I know I can entrust my heart and feelings to, because he will never ever take them lightly. And because of what happened today, it feels like I could let go of something in my past. To know that I don't have to hide who I am because I'm afraid of your reaction, to know that I will not be let down when I'm being difficult, to know that I'm valued above the other things in your life. Thank you for giving me what I sometimes do not deserve. Thank you Lord for giving me only the best.
"Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman." //Justice Louis D. Brandeis; What Publicity Can Do I don't think it was a big secret to start with. But, in the right place at the right time, with the right questions, I think we had one of the more bare-boned conversations we've had in awhile. And you're right. We struggle with all these things because we are not perfect, because we're all works-in-progress. Now that you know me and I know you, we can struggle together with love, understanding and prayer. Two > one and HE > I.
Sometimes I feel like my heart will burst from all the waiting. The waiting for things to happen, the waiting for the future to come. But then I remember you make all things beautiful in your time. So I hope, and I turn my face towards you, knowing that even though so many things are up in the air now, sooner or later, you will make this a beautiful journey.
