Yes.
I’ve been hurt.
Yes.
I’m angry.

I’m afraid.

I’m lonely.
Yes.
I want to be in community.
Yes.
Jesus is the yes man here. Hearing us. Listening. Affirming.
We don’t have to deny what has happened to do a new thing.
We don’t have to change what we want because we haven’t gotten it yet.
We can bring it all to Him and lay it down at His feet.
Hurts and wounds and fear. Every part of us.
He won’t even flinch.
He will listen. And He will hear. And He will affirm.
He will gently lead us to yes.
And then…anything is possible.

Sue –I was reminded today how much I love your blog! I love that we can be talking about decorating, Tv shows or the pope and the isolation we all feel at times in our lives. Your writing is real…it reflects how I see life . It is serious and then silly-it is deep and connecting within serioius subjects and the mundane topics we all have to deal with. Sometimes I want to talk deep and sometimes I just want to laugh—your blog provides me with all of that–keep it up!
thank you again!
