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 that 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.
The daily battles go on but the victory has already been won!
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.
