We Know Your Heart ~
O Lord, God of might and mercy and mystery, you have driven the arrows of your quiver into the breast of your people, your beloved. You have filled our throat with bitterness and gall. You have made our teeth grind on gravel, and laid us down with wounds in the ashes of dreams.
You have taken away our sleep, and replaced our gladness with groaning. You have covered us with the shadows of those we love, and we have reached out in vain to touch their bodies.
Happiness has left through the window where the rain pours in, peace has put her hand on the latch, O Lord, our eyes are on you. We do not look to another for hope. To you alone. To you we cry. Remember our affliction, remember the bitter wormwood and the gall! You have not made us drink this cup in vain.
This we call to mind, and therefore we have hope: Your steadfast love, O LORD, never ceases; your mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. You alone, O Lord, are our portion, therefore we will hope in you.
You are good to those who wait for you, to the soul who seeks you. You are good today. You were good last Sunday. We are waiting, we are looking for the salvation of the Lord. We are not running from the yoke of this dark providence, or throwing off the burden of your good sovereignty. But we are waiting, and looking, for the yoke to be made easy and the burden light.
You do not hide yourself forever. Though you cause grief, you will have compassion, according to the abundance of your steadfast love; for you do not afflict from your heart, or grieve the children of men. .We know your heart, O God. For there is nothing in the world more bright, more blazing, more terrible, more beautiful, more bloody, more hopeful, than the revelation of your heart in the death and triumph of your Son, Jesus.

Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned — every one — to his own way; You do not hide yourself forever.
We know your heart, O God. For there is nothing in the world more bright, more blazing, more terrible, more beautiful, more bloody, more hopeful, than the revelation of your heart in the death and triumph of your Son, Jesus the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Solitude ~
Love your solitude. For those who are near you are far away , this shows that the space around you is beginning to grow vast, be happy about your growth, of course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind; be confident in front of them and don't torment them. Seek out true feeling of what you have in common when you see them. But believe in a love that is stored up for you like an inheritance, have faith there is a blessing that you can travel as you wish.

Home ~
Deep heartbreak is kind of like being lost and you can't find your way Home . Every direction leads to nowhere More heartbreak . Asking for help - Wanting the person closest to you to see .Please ~
When you are standing in a forest of darkness, you cannot see any light that could ever lead you home. But if you wait for the sun to rise again, and listen when someone assures you that they themselves have stood in that same dark place, and have since moved forward with their life, oftentimes this will bring the hope that’s so needed. I need that Hope - To find my way home !

Me ~
I am 57 and continuously discover new things about myself ! I've believed and the impact on my choices and the glorious freedom that I can now make choices that line up with the person I am at my core. To truly celebrate who you are in the midst the unknown is far better than the perception that you've somehow arrived .Time tells the truth and I'm Thankful for that . Hope has carried me this far ...
