Love Notes

As I watched her tiny frame float across the floor - I stopped immediately.  It was breathtaking!  Overwhelmed with the desire for my heart to be so open... to hear from God the way a child does...  completely encapsulated with His love. 

Tears flowed freely as I watched her interpretation of this song.  With each movement God was portrayed.  Such an innocent display of worship.  So sweet.  So gentle.  His presence filled the room.  Once again I was held by my Savior... for just a moment.  I stood in awe...  

Most of the time He speaks to my heart through the simple things of life.  My precious little girl is one way He reveals Himself to me often.  I know He desires to speak with me daily...sometimes I miss it.  I'm busy.  Too busy.  I rattle off my prayers...checking off my list of requests.  How many times do I forget to be still... and wait for Him to respond?  Longing for me to know Him more - He will grab my attention away from the distractions of this life.  And when I choose to bask in His presence...He shows Himself so vividly.. just to say "My child, I love you."  What an incredible Father He is!




I pray that you all would be blessed by His grace, mercy and love-note moments today!

Until then...

Light Always Wins

 I was seven when I stepped foot into the Tel Aviv Airport accompanied by my stepdad - a Palestinian. The Israeli soldiers stood armed as they ripped through each of our suitcases, pulled my dad into a room for questioning, and detained us for several hours. We were not there as tourists. We were on our way to Jericho to visit family... but we were the enemy. Even at seven the hatred between all was undeniable. As a child I did not comprehend fully but I remember...fear. Walking the roads of that country for a month is an experience I will never forget. I remember once being at a family member's home while they argued over who was right, the Jews or Palestinians. I remember the tears, the anger, and shouting. I can't recall most of the words spoken that day. I don't know whose argument was stronger. What I do know is...what the Bible says about God's chosen people, and that in war... no one wins...even when it is necessary there is always suffering for both sides. The J...

Judgment Loomed

As I exited the door my heart was pierced with their animosity.  Hatred and poison spewed from their lips.  Murderer!  Whore!  Baby killer!  You'll rot in Hell for what you did!  Over and over...  The savage mob encircled me with no escape.  Screaming just a breath away from my face.  Shoving with such force I was almost knocked to the ground.  They spat in my hair.  Humiliated.  Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pushed through the violence.  Once inside my car I began to weep.   Even in the present their vile words reel through my mind.  Beads of sweat began to form in my tightly clinched fists.  Squirming in my chair... biting my lower lip as an attempt to hold it together.  Peering above the Pastor's head as though I was looking at him... knowing if I did I would burst into tears.  That was my experience at church...
