the downpours and the deserts...

Lately I feel like God has been teaching me so much......I always feel open to Him and the things He wants to teach me...but as of late it's like a waterfall.....and it's all I can do to keep up and soak it all in. I appreciate the things I am learning and that He has been patient with me....but the thing that was so dumbfounding with all of it was that I apparently was in a desert???....and didn't realize it until the downpour came.....does that make sense? Not sure, but hoping to be a sponge right now. Thankful for the downpours and the deserts.

just go ahead and rip my heart out. Will be seeing it...but will need a dose of something strong to get through it

one more thing from this week.

Through some conversations this week and a lot of running and a lot of driving.....one conclusion I have come to:

1.Ministry is challenging....hard....sad at times.....tiring....but I love it. I love the people God has entrusted me with...I love ministering alongside my crazy haired husband...and I love that it's something I never have completely figured out. It will forever challenge me in ways that nothing else in life can.....and well...I DO love a challenge.

Finished:)
