She Returns...

...and it is bittersweet. I have trouble "facing" my blog, and that may sound strange but it is true. This micro-dot in the cybersphere is a sort of distant "home" to my heart, and we all know, it isn't always easy to come "home". Things are never the same are they?

Seems so very strange to me that my heart can feel so heavy yet be in complete acknowledgment that God is on the throne. The experience of His Grace and the experience of the trials necessary to understand that His Grace is all sufficient, render me speechless most times. Oh, I can muster little "blurbs" on FB but to actually come here...home, to hit the pressure release valve on my heart and pour it all out onto this glaring white screen like old times, is something I am finding more and more difficult to do. The trials and burdens I am used to sharing, no longer consist of the every day consequences of a large family with a focus challenged homeschooling mommy trying to make it through the day with a clean house to boast....no...our worlds now are forever changed aren't they? Each and every one of us now bear the worry of what tomorrow will hold in this very changed nation. Then, there are the hurts and burdens of friends, loved ones...dire circumstances and health situations that seem to be of such gravity that the English language limits us to even share with one another the depths of the sorrow we feel over these circumstances. Praise the Lord, He makes intercession for us...because, I'll be honest friends, I just don't have the words, only the tears to show for the white knuckled pleading in my heart. I'm so thankful that sometimes even to say the name of Jesus is enough to flood my heart with a sense of comfort....His name and all that it means to my heart helps to focus my mind. Just to lift my flesh bound hands and say His name brings such release when I remember all that He did on the cross. His very name holds more meaning than I could write in a life-time. My precious Lord Jesus, let me never fail to find comfort in letting my burden rest on your ever listening ear...

Oh Heather! How I miss your heartfelt, touch me deeply, blogging! My soul resonates with ALL that you write! It truly is very refreshing for this believer to be able to "hear" another christian verbalize the VERY things that weigh me down! I love your spirit, you are such an honest woman of God....Thank you for that. And may our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ richly bless you with a deeper walk with Him than you have EVER experienced!! God bless

Hi Heather, I'm so glad I came online tonight- and happened to want to check on your blog! Now I can be praying for you and your husband. You guys are the heroes. I pray tons of friends and family all around you during this time. And Psalm 121.
He will never let go of you, if I know one thing in life that is all I know and all that I need to know. He never let's go of His children. Never. Never. Not in any place, mentally or physically. Prayed huge wings of the warmest love of God you and your family have ever known over all of you, for every moment. I don't get on my blog much either, but if you have FB still I have a link to me on my blog to there. I am going to keep praying for you.
