worship starts here in an hour. The band is practicing as i sit here in the balcony writting this I begin to realize ive never been so open, vulnerable in my life. To a God thats opening my heart to his. I keep his people, his children and I love them. Whenever I'm in a homeowners house I always ask them about the pictures on their fridge. It is seriously the most heart opening question you can ask someone you really dont know. Ive learned about these people- also Gods children that are close to the homeowners I work for. I learn about the children, diseases that have claimed husbands, adoptions that changed a family for better, and relationships after a spouses death. Ive read poetry written by an 89 year old father weeks before he passed away, been encouraged by people perserving through their trials, and painted the living room of the sweetest 80 year old. I dont deserve these expierences. I dont deserve this life of abundance God has granted me. I dont deserve true freedom found in his grace. But God he relentlessly continues to cover me in it. He continues to open my eyes to his people and their hurts and needs and dreams. I drink thier lemonade and try to see them and love them in a way God-their father does. I fail to do that often but I want to. I have seen my lifes dreams switch drastically in the last 2 monthes. Because I have begin to comprehend this God I follow. He is a God of fullness and compassion and JOY! He loves his children and I love meeting his children. I want to begin to live a life complete because he makes it that way. He gets my career, and my thoughts, and my dreams, and my doubts, and my lack of grammer skills (haha) because he is worthy of my life's service. He is worthy of my praise!
For the dinos,
Mary D!
