In the Moment

Well... here's an update on what is happening in the crazy wild waves of this young woman's life. I'll lay it out in a nut shell... the 411 for those that care and short and sweet for those who don't really. :o) 
* Accepted to GFU!!! (let's just say: MIRACLE)
* Releasing the last piece of half of the tapestry to the Weaver... feeling frayed but peace. (MIRACLE 2)
* Living... not just surviving but thriving! (MIRACLE 3)

.... and now considering putting out into the public hands a compilation of written work: "Shattered Beautiful Pieces" ( cover: white... pottery pot broken in pieces in the hands of a potter... back of the book cover: white ... all the pieces made whole ... royal purple in the potters hands.)

All this to say>> Miracles occur every moment of every day. We will see them, taste them, hear them and feel them when we stop long enough to pay attention. I hesitate to say "be in the moment" because of the sad state of affairs the society hears that phrase... whatever... Be In the Moment..FEEL... LISTEN... TASTE... TOUCH... SMELL... experience that fullness of the moment no matter what it is because there is purpose. 

I am not saying this from a place of comfort ability. I am coming from a place of grief. In the depths of the darkness and pain let it run it's course and experience all of the moments. You may just be surprise by how Beautiful and Bright the light is on the other side. In the arms of the One who created me I wail, heave, and scream in to the darkness... and He.... well .... He holds me and cries with me never to leave me alone in this suffering. 

Some ask how in this world and in this time can you see an all Loving God? I answer "With in every tear drop, sent of a newly opened bud, the sweet smile of a child, the places of death I could have gone and yet did not, in the taste of a meal made and shared with love... we just have to take the time to Be In the Moment." 

May anyone who reads this, or anything that I write here, be encouraged and know that you are not alone.
