Process

It is amazing how time of reflection helps you really get in touch with whatever process God has you in. The Feast of St. Patrick was such a good attitude adjustment for me. It followed a wonderful time of healing with old friends from the Vineyard in Gainesville a few weeks previous to our journey to Ohio. It is always good to be reminded of who you are and what you have and where you have come from.

Mike and I met some wonderful friends and also got to put names and faces together.
The weekend gave a few new heroes to my growing list. The Florida crew sends a deep heartfelt thanks to all of those in the Natti who pulled it off. You all are such servants. Speaking of servants our parents spent quality time with our kids. We are very grateful for that gift. Not to mention my parents-in-law stayed a few extra days and helped me get some projects checked off my list. they just left today at lunch and life is returning to its normal hum

The kids are riding their bikes, I am making dinner, Mike is at work, but there is something deeply different in me. The type of different that happens supernaturally in an instant. I almost can't put words to it, but I am excited and I don't know why. I am hopeful but have no tangible reason to be hopeful. I am patient...well ok that is pushing it but you know what I mean:-) everything is the same but I am different and for that I am grateful.

Be watchful, Aslan is on the move. You may run in to him right when you least expect it. Peace to all in the house

I love the blog that you have. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and in return I would do the same for your blog. If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:

www.americanlegends.info

If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.

Thanks,
David

wow...

thanks for sharing that amber...i have a similar feeling - in terms that something has changed deep down, almost imperceptively...yet i am living with the repurcussions...

i wrote this wordcraft kind of reflecting on that and on our time in the thinspace of St. E's and the brownhouse:

epicenter

mouth gaping as apprehension is slow
'what have I done' labours to be uttered on my tongue

before we were blistering in a fire ice-cold
yet now fallen is liberation clinging to us like sunlight aglow

the shockwave felt full-on of a reign unfettered
the epicenter en masse...an eruption of living souls reflected in stained glass

a quake that has shaken and not just stirred
the ground now littered with spirit-filling and flesh-crawling

embraced all around with a new glow
as we walk on holy ground

our sandals left behind as we stand with
the Flame that does not consume

progression the size of plate-tectonics as dominions shift and provoke
applying ancient pressure in a new resolve

the faultline of good news gives way in release
and may, in its awakening, the epicenter of a kingdom unleash
