Stirrings


 Faintly...I felt a stirring.

Oh for the days when I might feel those first stirrings of life within me.  The flutter of a heart beat or the movement of small new life within me.  Bringing "being knit together" an entirely new meaning.

I would slow my breathing and still my body just for the chance to feel to feel him.  To feel them.

Small rumblings or stirrings; signs of renewal and new life. 

Can I feel it again in this stage of my life where body is done and my home is becoming empty?  

What about my husband who felt left out when I would cry because of it?  

How do my friends whose longing for this stirring is the cry of their heart?

Can God create something new in me again?  

How will he speak life into my world once more?  

To bring something out of nothing!  

Light into darkness.  

Life into meaning.  Meaning into life.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26
Please pray with me for God's dynamic stirrings of new life within each of us.

God I want to feel your life within me again.  To have something out of nothing called into being.  I need you Lord to create in me a pure heart and renew a steadfast spirit within me.  Please take out my heart of stone that weighs heavily on me and give me a new heart of flesh.  Please begin a new work within me.  Awaken me.  Thank you as my eyes become open to you at work within me.  I do Praise you because you said that I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Starting a Journey

September 3, 2010 Originally posted How to Begin a Journey 1. Pick a destination or simply start. 2. Plan a detailed itinerary or just take the first step. 3. Pack everything or travel lightly. I am choosing to just begin. To leave behind the baggage, pick up a day pack, and go. Several nights before we moved to Ogallala, I was praying about the transition when I heard that still, small voice of God. In that moment, I knew He heard my Heart's Cry. He hears every whispered plea, every unspoken longing. If I truly sit with that truth, it humbles me. What courage, boldness, passion, and decisiveness I have when I remember: He never leaves or forsakes me. He provides for my every need according to His riches in glory. My hope is to encourage you He hears your Heart's Cry too.

Picking up Rocks and Riding in Boats

I took a walk with a three year old young man today.   His mama was frazzled and he was bored.  "Grab your shoes," I told him.  He ran to his Mom to get his shoes on and ran to the door.  After fixing the shoestrings and the coat was on the way he wanted and I showed him the edge of the sidewalk and where we would walk...we were off. A dried piece of weed draped across an edge of the sidewalk, and I bent down to check it out.  He followed my lead and bent in half beside me.  I broke a piece off and gave him half and continued on our way.  Have you ever took a walk with a toddler?  And looked at things the way they do?  The broken sticks in the gutter, the ice and the small patch of snowing clinging to life are all gold to these little explorers.   A little encouragement is all they need to sift for treasure along the way. A smooth stone sat contentedly on the driveway of a house.  I stopped to admire...
