When He Speaks

So this is the first follow up to "At His Word". It is called when he speaks because this morning I felt so alive just replaying his words. I just realized that this is going to be a little like yesterday's post because what I want to say so perfectly lines up. Let me try to get this out.

Have you ever met someone who was so tuned in to the spirit that their words were like God's words? Their thoughts were so profound that it was like God himself had to place it there and twist and turn it around? Their actions revealed the very essence of what being for God was all about... This is the way this man is. He is so passionate about God that when he speaks I feel God. I feel his desire to be like the Father. It is awesome for me because I've never had that in a relationship. I've never been able to say this is truly a man after God's own heart. I didn't know how valuable that was or how valuable it would make me feel.

When he speaks, I am renewed. I am hopeful. I am able to breathe again. When he speaks.....

At His Word

I have been thinking three words all day today. "At His Word" At his word means so much because there is more than one way to look at it. I came to Tallahassee "at His word". I became a minister "at His word". I live and breathe "at His word". The thing is today the phrase kind of has a new sound. It's more like "at his word". I want to expand the thought, but I'm afraid to even know what it means. Stay tuned...

Family

The holidays are always a special time in my family. We come together to laugh and celebrate being together. It is always an absolute love fest. I look forward to Thanksgiving with my dad's side of the family and Christmas with my mom's. This is the first year in 35 that my holiday is going to look a little different. A little is truly an understatement. I am not even going to be in the same state with anyone in my "family".

I am spending my first holiday away from the shelter of mom, dad, aunts, and uncles. I have been so completely happy about the person that I am going to be with that I had forgotten about those that I will be leaving behind. I guess it's going to be bitter sweet.... I say that I guess because it seems like the statement that is "supposed" to go there. I am supposed to feel some since of sadness. Truthfully, I am just happy. I am happy to be embarking on this new journey with my new family.

He is my family. He is in every single sense of the word and I am thankful and amazed that he has opened himself up to me.... He is my family. :) I think that's about all I have to say about that.
