***
I feel I've lost my voice of late....or perhaps it's my hearing of His that's gone......too far from Home to hear when He calls...
...I've wandered...
....longing for His Hearth, longing for that Rest.....longing to lay my head, once again, on His chest.....
Longing for the One who leaves the ninety-nine......bleating out my pleas....I may have lost my hearing, but I know He's not lost His.......

So timely and so good ...
ReplyDeleteThank you for this *exceptional* reminder. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI find myself in this place more than I care too...too easy for me to wander...thankful for the dissatification that builds when I do. Thankful he never leaves.
ReplyDeleteThankful for you too!
Grace and peace!
you are in such good hands, friend,
ReplyDeleteright in the palm of kind generosity himself
who will never leave or forsake
even for a second
sweet dearheart of his:)
you've been through so much change, friend.
it's easy to feel disconnected
during transition
but often it's just that a new connection
is being formed
and the feeling of loss
over the old one
is part of the disorientation that comes
as we walk with the shepherd
into new and wobbly places.
even our "falls" he holds tenderly
next to his heart.
there is no shame on you, brave girl.
you're simply in process and it's forward
motion even when it feels a little
backslippy.
I believe your shepherd is wildly proud
and fond of you:):):)
SO glad to "see" you again!
