Relationships...

When I show people this photo they almost always ask me-
"How did you take this?" Which I find odd because I know
exactly what I'm seeing. I was there when I took it and could
see the environment around what is the edges of the picture.
(It's the reflection of trees in a mud puddle)
Last night however, I saw...well...I heard something I thought
would never happen. I don't know what your up bringing
looked like. I mean within church and beliefs. I was raised
in a hardcore Southern Baptist Church. You know, the kind
that "scared" you into the "arms" of Jesus. Last night in
Bible study...I saw the light switch finally come on. The room
was surrounded with women between the ages of late 30's all
the way to early 70's "get it". They are finally getting a
glimpse of what intimacy with their God looks like and more
important feels like. They have always seen Him as a harsh
disciplinarian. I know that is also the portriat of God I had
been painted. Several years ago God had me go...go and
experience a fresh new place where I was able to meet the
real Him. So to see these ladies last night slowly look up
and meet the loving God whose been waiting for so long to
catch His gaze...my heart melted. I'm looking so forward
to seeing their eyes and hearts open to the Truth.
I know for me it's a place for me where I long for the
awareness of God to fill every moment of my day...every
breath I take.
Girls, one of my cousins passed away yesterday. He was
the same age as my Dad. He was like a brother to my
Dad instead of a cousin. He and Dad had drifted apart
over the years. Let mountains form out of mole hills.
Over the last six months they reconnected out of the
blue. The last few months it was nothing for them to
talk four nights out of the week. They had started doing
some hunting together. It warmed my heart not just
that their relationship was back on track but that my
Dad was allowing himself to have a friend. Anyway, it's
really hit him hard. I still don't think the shock has
warn off. I know I don't even have to ask...thank you
for your prayers...Love you.
