this I know...

As intimately as a man knows a woman
As intimately as a child is knit together in his mother’s womb
So intimate is our Heavenly Father’s love for us.
It is a deep and very personal “knowing” of the individual that reaches even deep into a person’s soul.
It is the heart of the Father to know us.
It is the heart of the Holy Spirit to make Himself known.
It is the heart of Jesus to ever live to make intercession for us before the Father’s throne.
So deeply may we trust the Father’s plan, may we trust the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. And, deeply, true, may we “know fully, even as we are fully known” with confidence that all that Jesus says He will do, He Will Rightly Accomplish within our lives.
We know the Spirit of Truth. We know the Father’s love for us. We know that, through Jesus, we are fully “known”. And, as we know, it is by His Word of Truth that we are kept by His mighty and righteous right hand. 7/10/10

We snuggled into the sand, backs against a partially uprooted tree. How perfect! Waves rolled rhythmically like stolid sentinels along an azure sea. So in love! As we had walked up I thought, "God, I am so in love with you and so in love with Bob and the stars are so bright-I have never seen so many stars before. This would be a perfect time to see you, or an angel." Nestled up against the tree, we had just begun to snuggle when an awful awareness came upon us. Mushrooming on and under the surface of t

A prophet spoke one time early in our marriage "a harness race horse and a steady Clydesdale and the Lord is going to cause your steps to be in tandem." It has been done. Thanks be to God!

HOTTT!!

Trust is a difficult thing for those trashed by society. A friend sought me out and shared many things. What choice did I have but to listen, to empathize, to comfort, to encourage, to reflect back what he was sharing and what I thought he wanted me to understand What choice did I have but to empathize and listen some more... to encourage... to respect... And I was asked What do you think about... (political opinion which is currently a very hot topic, which we had differing viewpoints on, but which I felt was irrelevant to not only our conversation but to our relationship) I chose to say that is irrelevant.  It doesn't matter what I think.  That is not what this relationship is about.  And I think I was right to do so because, in this instance, his emotions were so caught up into his vulnerability and his trauma that it would serve him no good.  My friendship with him was not one in which I was to point out differences.  His wounds were too fresh and vulnerable.  My
