I am a simple girl with a simple life.
God is my strength, my portion and my song. It is a good and necessary thing because I am weak, needy and can’t carry a tune even in a bucket!
I love my husband – never perfectly and not always well.
I love my family and friends – pretty much the same. Loving isn’t easy but it is always worth it.
I love my words – too many at times.
My heart has been wrecked by a world that lives outside my door. I went to Haiti and came home with eyes wide open and a heart that will never be the same. I see need all around me. I am overwhelmed.
The grace and glory is He is neither surprised, overwhelmed or absent. This is my place to remind myself that He is here, wherever I am. He is not overwhelmed. He is not surprised. He was, He is, and He will always be.
We all need to be reminded of this beautiful truth and live our lives holding tight to Him above everything else. It is hard but not impossible.
The daily battles come but the victory has already been won! To God be all the glory!
Can I get an AMEN!
Awake since 0400, checking my FB page and your post about Haiti pulled me in to read further. Your blog/writing leaves me speechless. I am both touched and astounded, who knew?? My prayers go with you to Haiti Denise.
Sweet words Odessa and I am glad you were able to visit awhile. I thank you for your prayers…not so much for me but for those I will encounter. Beautiful people who give me more than I will ever give them.
