behind the curtain

 

 

i have heard that there are those who have quiet time with

the Lord

in the wee hours before the sun comes up.

before the rest of their family is up.

with a cup

of coffee.

 

i have also heard there are those who have quiet time with

the Lord

outside.

walking.

hiking.

running.

just waiting to hear His voice on the breeze.

 

not me.

nope.

for some reason

i end up having quiet time with God

in the shower.

 

 

i don't plan on it.

it is when i am the most

vulnerable.

maybe it is there because

i am totally alone.

 

or maybe because no one

can hear my heartache

with sound of the water

rushing.

 

as the warm hot water is running down my neck

and shoulders,

my heartache is let loose.

 

it is there that He fills up

the holes.

left by the pain.

disappointment.

and failures.



 

He fills them with His

love.

grace.

forgiveness.

and strength.

 

He reminds me that no one.

not one human.

can do that.

 

Only Him.

He alone.

 



 

have you heard the song

'the well' by casting crowns?

 

'leave it all behind'

'leave it all behind'

'and come to the well'

 

or in my case...the shower. :)

 

 

oh...one more thing.

that rug.

 up above.

was made by my beautiful friend.

she has a page with all of her

creations.

 

in His loving arms...

have a wonderful day.
