These words are not enough to tell of Your great name

Praise the Lord with me!

The relationship my mum and I have is better than any time I can recall! We can talk, I am beginning to find an ability to express to her when she's done something that has hurt me (expressing my honesty in love...and understanding that it's OKAY to be frusterated sometimes). We've been spending more time together, doing even just simple things. Making dinner, watching a movie, looking for our new house. There is healing.

A revelation of the value of fellowship. As I speak with dear friends, perspective steps into the light. Though I have felt distant from Christ, HE IS WITH ME! It only took a moment to see this, to sit down and find words to share of how this week has been. In those moments, story after story gathered. He is teaching me, and providing for me, and making me like him (both more like him, and like him more). He has been unfathomably gracious, and faithful.
He has brought healing to friendships falling apart. He has brought the promise of hope into my own broken heart. He has brought loved ones out of darkness and into his glorious light. He has filled my friends here with courage to speak truth, even when it hurts.

He has cloaked my heart in gentleness. There is a crowd growing agitated, with the reasoning that no one cared much about Haiti until an earthquake hit, they should've cared before. And yes, they should have, but what does it matter - they care NOW. That place is being shown love now, and so I will count this earthquake as a blessing. There is hope for a city rebuilt! My hope is that this city will be built on the only firm foundation, which is Jesus Christ.

Hallelujah, the Lord is with us! Praise the Lord with me!
