I will be honest, I have been questioning lately, how do I
finish what the Lord has already started this season.
Then I am reminded…
it is not my job to finish what He started – He is beyond capable if finishing
His work and I am privileged to be a VESSEL.

Sitting under the pressure of trying to encapsulate all that
I have seen,witnessed, heard, and experienced over the last nine months – I
simply began to silence myself.  Overwhelmed
with how to express what is happening in, around, and through me – I took the
easy way out and said nothing. NOT GOOD.  NOT THE ANSWER.

Then the Lord readily reminded me:

Emily,

My child, do not forget what I have promised you. I NESTLE you.
My LOVE is not only true freedom – my LOVE is perfection.
YOU HAVE OVERCOME with my help.
I AM your great I AM.
You are not alone, I am fighting for you and next to
you.
I UPHOLD YOUR HANDS when you have nothing left.
I AM THE ONE WHO CRADLES YOUR INMOST BEING.Dwell in the presence of your Almighty Father.  Meet me here, daughter.
My water never runs dry – my passion for you beautiful one is a
fountain overflowing. 
Do not
silence your voice – you have something to say.  Lament will not defeat you.
I CHASE YOUR HEART.
I AM JEALOUS for all of your ATTENTION.
Sweet one, can I nurture your soul?
 
I will always love you,
Abba

His love notes are the GREATEST. The idea of trying to put
His heart for me into words seems silly.   The Lord has recently reminded me to slow down – take
it all in. And, to share it – through words. 

Well, it has been a WHIRLWIND.

A whirlwind mixed of emotion, love, and charming intimacy
with a Holy Father, my Lord.

 
Snapshots enter my mind and I there are so many questions I
still have. The LOVE of Christ – an EPIC STORY, told by the greatest visionary of all.  I feel so small amidst this grandiose
creation He designed for us to enjoy. 
 
In a season of weakness before the Lord I am reminded of His great
adoration for me.
 
 
 
There is something precious about drawing near to the Lord
when you have exhausted your flesh. 

Capturing this race – it is hard to explain.  So, instead I want to take you into
some moments. Into the details and absurdities that have made up my days.

All DIVINELY ORDAINED by Him. 

 
 

Day in and out… I walk miles upon mile. Along, wide dusty roads.
Up rolling hills and back down again. 
Unsure of how many cups of tea I might consume in a matter of hours.

Continually, knocking on the doors of strangers.  Not strangers to the Lord, the doors of the homes of His
children.  I hear their stories. 
 
WE PRAY TOGETHER.
The face of an elder, a child, a widow. Some know His voice
– others do not. 
I learn the true meaning of INVITATION and HOSPITALITY.

A SOUND. Does not sound like me. 
I am one of the few of my color in the walls of this church.  

Their sounds are like a
nation.  They cry out to the Lord.  Shouts of joy – assured that He is listening.  My ears are full of the glory.  Is this was heaven sounds like? 
 
 
A triumphant battle cry, a victory
shout – in His honor?

LIGHT. I am learning the ARTISTRY of the creator. 

He was INSPIRED.
Their faces peek through the window.  The rays of the sun glisten in and they want to see more.  Full of curious spirits.  Who are these people? 
I love the earnest eagerness. 

So, my heart can not be silenced anymore.  I want to share my SOUL and what He is
doing inside of me with you.  He is
meeting me Here, as I DWELL in His perfect resting place
