her and Him...

Looking at the different women in my life I am continually amazed at how God grows each of them. As they discover Him, His ways, His voice. I watch this person-this woman in His presence and ways really live and come alive before my eyes. 

I see peace fill up inside her.

I see her noble and exciting purposes revealed.

I see her marvel at the love He has for her and the intimacy that comes from being lead by Him and hearing His voice.

I see the humility in her tears as she realizes how powerful, good, perfect and gentle He is.

I hear her confess to Him and then watch as He restores her and helps her stand up again to keep running the race, advancing His kingdom-bringing light into darkness.

I see a beautiful, unique, expression through her of God's grace.

Lord, I praise you for the work I've seen You do in the hearts, souls, and circumstances of these woman I'm so privileged to know.

Would you continue to bring those who feel dead inside into the life You promised them...

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Jesus) have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." 

John 10:10

 "I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow." 1 Corinthians 3:6-7

"Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood and as you lay there in your blood I said to you,"Live!"  
I [the Lord] made you grow like a plant of the field. You grew up and developed and became the most beautiful of jewels." 
Ezekiel 16:6-7
