A longing fulfilled...
Just rambling today, and wanted to share... There is something so glorious about a heart being given full permission to jump headlong into its God-breathed passions. In the last few weeks of my life I have felt that permission more than ever before. Whether it's tending to my very own garden, or starting to once again play piano on a daily basis, or teaching music classes, or being part of an "organized" worship group...my heart is waking up in so many ways. One of my favorite songwriters, Jonathan David Helser, used these words in one of his songs - I will live out the dreams You have placed in me / shout down the walls of fear! There is something so powerful in standing up to the enemy and saying, "I am doing this because God created me to do it - and by golly, there's no stopping me now!" Hope deferred makes the heart sick; but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. - Prov 13:12
