Faces

It’s been a while since I’ve written….                                                                                      
because it’s hard to know what to say
While traveling the world, my world was rocked….
While loving others, my heart was healed a little more each day

Restoration.

God gave me a family…five people to share life with
More of Him and less of ourselves was our prayer….
In the midst of this somewhere…
I lost myself and gained so much more

God searched my heart
Continually brought things to surface

Painful process…
                                …but then there was freedom.

He took me to places, I never thought I would go,

physically and spiritually.

 

Words can’t do justice the places I’ve been…
My tears don’t even begin to show the overwhelming grace I’ve breathed in.
I lay in bed at night and close my eyes…
From country to country, these faces I see…                                                                                       
                                                                                 …they still break me.

 

Transfer it Lord…to my daily life here.
Don’t let it die, this fire in me.

I feel it flare up, and then die down…

stir it up Lord…I still want more.

No matter where I am,                                                                                                                                 
No matter what I do.

I just want more…
