About October 28, 2007

Turning 30 this past September has officially entered me into the realm of “needing” to stay cool.  Not that it is possible, but I am determined to try.

4 children: Brennan-7, Logan-5, Eli-3, Amelia-1 / all of which I am wanting to fall madly in love with.  This has been harder than I though.

1 Husband:  The true inspiration for all things good.  Passionate, determined and loyal.  All that I want in a man.  Oh, and darn good looking too.

 

This is a chance to share glimpses into how the Lord and I co-author this story that is, my life.

Here is a glimpse of my latest heartbeat, and what is behind the [momentum] project.

Several months ago, I was sitting in church and was just having an emotional morning.  I don’t even remember what was going on in the service, but I had a moment with the Lord.

 {Side note, I had recently watched the movie Blood Diamond, in which there is a scene when one guys family is inside of a refugee camp and he comes up to the fence and speaks with them for a minute.  He turns to leave and they are screaming for him.  He has realized that he must sell this large diamond he found in order to free his family.  Great movie}

So back to Sunday morning.  I had an “inner vision” of me standing inside that fence and God coming up to it.  I asked him why I was there and how long, I don’t understand.  He turned and starting walking away.  I was screaming after him: “Don’t leave me here, where are you going?!”  He turned and looked at me, then said” I’m not leaving…I’m getting a running start.” 

It felt like the earth stopped and as with Paul, scales fell from my eyes.  I saw for the first time, that he wasn’t abandoning me and wasn’t powerless to help.  He is gaining momentum to “break through the fence of injustice.” 

I’ve been rescued, but there are so many more”inside the fence”.  Thus the birth of the [momentum] project.  My journey to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with my God, but whatever means I can.

Peace be with you.
