God's Love

Several months ago I began down a path to discover God's love. One of the things that I learned is how much God wants to show us his love. God doesn't have to prove that he is God. But he does want to show us his love... in so many ways.

He shows me in many different ways... from eagles to sunsets to the sky to hearts. He did it again today...

In all my pain and sorrow he wanted to show me how much he loves me. I have felt his presence so strongly this week and today saw it again.

Robert and Emma went camping last night. This morning the truck wouldn't start so I had to go up there to help jump it. Emma wanted to show me the creek so we walked down to it. At one point she held up a rock and said "Look Mom it's a heart rock!". So I decided to look around to see if I could find anymore...

Well I did...



He loves me that much to bring me to a place of his beauty and surround me with hearts...

"God is the strength of my heart" Psalm 73:26

Strength, crisis, faith...

A few months ago I put together a retreat for the ladies at our church. The theme was "Sacred Heart: ...God is the strength of my heart. Psalm 73:26". Little did I know what that really meant until now.

It's interesting how sometimes it takes a crisis in order to really feel God and see him. I have seen him perform many miracles in my journey but never this personal. He truly is the strength of my heart.

After experiencing the pain I have this week, I only got a minute touch of what Christ feels every single moment because of what his people are doing.

Even all those months ago... he knew exactly what was going to happen this week. He was preparing me then as he was a year ago as he is now. He is absolutely amazing... so much so that while my heart is breaking it is also bursting with his love and joy.

I pray that through all of this I am a stronger person because of him. I pray that I have more compassion for people. I pray that his will be done...
