Without warning a smile brushes across my face.
An artist's work.
Soft, gentle words flow from the river of my mouth.
A fisherman was here.
My heart rains with tears of gladness over what is happening here.
A farmer cultivates.
Unexpected {Grace} washes the heaviness of the storm.
What was mucked up and made muddy is now becoming clean.
What was charred from the fire of anger, bitterness and rage is now
calm, peaceful and glad.
He touches in ways completely unexpected.
Noticing, I am grateful. And this is my worship.
Today's post is part of my friend, Lisa-Jo's fun challenge each Friday to
"Write for five, short, bold beautiful minutes...
Unscripted and unedited...
Beautiful, Amy! Oh how I needed those words today as my yesterday was a bit of a disaster...Glad to have "met" you on Twitter and look forward to more heart-connecting!

Praying all of God's rishest blessings over you this day, that this may be a turning, a new phase of living in the full glory of the grace he has given, taht you rest in knowing that his forgiveness is long and his memory is short, as your past, the shadows, no longer exist in his book... Bless you always, Beautiful Amy.
