He is captivated...by me

My child, I wish you could see you through My eyes...

You are beautiful...so beautiful

The purpose inside of you?

Greater than you could possibly imagine

Let go of the things you are so desperately holding on to

Let go and cling to Me

I want nothing more than to be your Light in the darkness

Oh how I long to pull on the greatness I have planted inside of you

How I crave your voice singing My praises

There is no sweeter sound...

My child, can't you see how you captivate Me?

I am so in love with you

And if you were the only one, I would have laid it down all the same

Because you are worthy...

Worthy of this unconditional love

Nothing you can do will change that My beloved

So stop running away and run to Me

Crawl into My lap...listen to my heart beat

Beat for you

My child, try for a moment to see yourself the way I see you

I ran across this tonight while going through my prayer journal. At the time i wrote it it seemed irrelevant to me because it was a time that I was so deep in my relationship with Him.

After I had finished writing it I went through it and said God this must be for someone else. I know the greatness You have planted in me...I know that Your love for me is unconditional...You reassure me of my beauty in Your eyes every day...and I know there will never be a time that I don't want to sing Your praises. All while He was shaking His head saying...my child, you will see.

Because He knew not too long from then I would be struggling with every bit of that revelation. And that I would have drifted so far that I couldn't hear Him the same way as before. And at that very moment I would need His reassurance of His love to find my way back.

Yet again Daddy...you have left me broken and simply overwhelmed.....



Son Rise

 After waking up at 2am Saturday morning and driving straight through to Tybee Island I was a little upset to figure out that sunrise was 30 minutes before I was anticipating it to be. We were still a good ways away from the beach when dawn came and I told Scott I was tempted to just turn around and go home. Boy am I glad I didn't. There is nothing like a sunrise to make you stand in awe of God's beauty and creation. I missed the sun actually coming up over the horizon but what I did get to see took my breath away and made me forget about everything else. I like to consider myself a God fearing woman but I have to admit, sitting on that beach, listening to the waves, and watching the golden orange colors break over the sand made me realize how Gods mercies are new every morning. That He set the whole world in motion to create man to have a relationship with him, and then after the fall He sent His only son to restore that relationship. His love for me is so overwhelming and sitting there Saturday morning all I could feel was that love wrap around me, and at that moment everything was right.
