This line sums much of it up for me: "Home is where the slumped ones will rise again, where bitter waters flow into the river of life, and everything that touches the water of this river will live." Yes, friend, this living water is coursing through your veins, it is making dried up places alive again. I am praying for good new beginnings. For hope to continue its rising. For you to know in your deepest places how dearly loved you are -- that you are home regardless of address. I love you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693390593188122891.post-40444545624150374282013-04-13T21:01:46.256-07:002013-04-13T21:01:46.256-07:00Bless your dear heart.Bless your dear heart.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693390593188122891.post-57744993629882354672013-04-13T19:57:09.633-07:002013-04-13T19:57:09.633-07:00Jen, your words touch me.

In this sensory state of being you feel warmth although eyes still closed. Your skin starts to tingle as your prepare for your eyes to be opened again. Your brain starts to shift from the darkness around, to the light that lies within. The hopes and aspirations once stifled by circumstance, now await you to reopen those boxes. <br /><br />I am excited to continue witnessing your progress. And await the day when you no longer just feel the warmth, but blind folds off and see the beauty in being exactly where God wants you :) Matthew O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392952207071159882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693390593188122891.post-46908835010511195932013-04-13T09:37:54.668-07:002013-04-13T09:37:54.668-07:00Amber, this is beautiful.

Thank you for understanding. You're right, transparency is so, so hard, and I don't always know if it's a blessing, but I hope and pray that it is. On that lighter note, YES! I do love goats, for real. In fact, Ricardo and I had a large number of engagement photos taken at a goat rescue last year :-) I hope, someday, to have some goats. I didn't know you live on a farm... wow. Crazy to find others with unexpected things in common. Love it.

I also know that transparency is hard, it's so hard, but it's such a blessing to those who read your words. While I'm sorry your marriage is going through a tough season, I'm hopeful that it is just.a.season. Thank you for stopping by my blog and for your beautiful words there. I love all the things we had in common this week. On a lighter note, do you really love goats? Because I do too and we've had many goats here on our farm. They are better than dogs, really. So funny that we have that in common as well! :-)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16382636649558707256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693390593188122891.post-23891562265590795932013-04-12T23:11:24.456-07:002013-04-12T23:11:24.456-07:00Thank you...
