I suppose in my lack to blog very much lately, every once and a while something is still so massively profound in my moment that I feel that I have to find a way to type words to share the evidence to someone of its happening. Instead of posting here at the time, I texted my best friend of its woe-ness.
I am post-dating this post to its actual date of November 28, 2012. Yet, I am actually typing this recording on January 6, 2013. Reason being, I have been reading the past posts of 2012 and just came across my post on January 8 ("Who are You? Show me more of Your "Who"-ness"). Woe! Might I just say "WOE!" to what I'd just read?! I had forgotten all that. But upon my reading it again and it refreshing my memory, it reminded me of a very similar happening all over again exactly ten months and twenty days later.
Here is it is just as I had captured it in a few texts between my friend and I on this date (Nov 28) in my 2012 year..
Me (11:42 a.m.): This is where I am today... preparing our Wednesday night meal for our Tutwiler ladies. I'm overwhelmed!! It's so much! It's so good! How do you capsule the wow-ness and wonder of something God has said? I can hardly sit still here as I read it. I keep getting up and shaking my head as I attempt to consume one morsel right after another. I am woe-ed in a magnified sense!!!! Prayers are greatly appreciated!!
Her (11:45 a.m.): I see a "but"...
Me (11:45 a.m.): Yes, you do!!!!!... and many more!!!! But's can change the world!!!
Her (5:14 p.m.): Father, as Sharon speaks tonight allow Your Spirit to FLOW & FILL!!
Use her reverence to Your glory!
May those who hear be CHANGED! Wanting evermore of YOUR Presence!!!
Thank You for granting, giving & bountifully blessing our lives! You are lavish, Lord!
I praise You in advance for Your working / hovering tonight!
We adore You, Lord! And praise You through Your precious Son's Name! Amen
Me (5:15 p.m.): Woe!!! I was painting my face and talking to God. In my conversation I brought up Mikayla, asking Him about her again, but not expecting Him to say anything about it. I "amen"ed and turn my Pandora on. And the first song that came on was a song I'd never heard of before. WOE!! Look up the lyrics, I was blown away: What Life Would Be Like, by Big Daddy Weave. Added even to the importance of the words, is the artists God has singing it. Big Daddy Weave always reminds me of God (our Ultimate 'Big Daddy' weaving the story)!
Her (5:37 p.m.): The song...
I wish I was more of a man.
Have you ever felt that way?
And if I had to tell you the truth,
I'm afraid I'd have to say
That after all I've done and failed to do
I feel like less than I was meant to be.
And what if I could fix myself?
Maybe then I could get free.
I could try to be some body else
Who's much better off than me.
But I need to remember this
That it's when I'm at my weakest
I can clearly see.
[Chorus]
He made the lame to walk,
and the dumb to talk
And He opened blinded eyes to see
That the sun rises on His time,
Yet He knows our deepest desperate need.
And the world waits, while His heart aches,
To realize the dream.
I wonder what life would be like
if we let Jesus live through you and me...
Yeah.
What if you could see yourself
through another pair of eyes?
What if you could hear the truth
instead of old familiar lies?
And what if you could feel inside
The power of the Hand that made the Universe
You'd realize...
[Chorus]
He made the lame to walk,
and the dumb to talk
And He opened blinded eyes to see
That the sun rises on His time,
Yet He knows our deepest desperate need.
And the world waits, while His heart aches,
To realize the dream.
I wonder what life would be like
if we let Jesus live through you and me...
Yeah
All our hearts, they burn within us.
All our lives, we've longed for more.
So let us lay our lives before
The One who gave His life for us.
[Chorus]
He made the lame to walk, and the dumb to talk
And He opened blinded eyes to see
That the sun rises on His time,
Yet He knows our deepest desperate need
And the world waits, while His heart aches,
To realize the dream.
I wonder what life would be like
if we let Jesus live through you and me..
Yeah
Let Him live through you and me... yeah
Me (9:26 p.m.): Thank you for sending me that. It's the "He made the lame walk, and the dumb talk. And He opened blinded eyes to see.." that got me. It reminded me of the verse that God once gave me after asking Him specifically if He was going to heal her. The verse targeted her lameness, her speechlessness, and her blindness. (Matt 15:30-31, "Great crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at His feet; and He healed them. The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.") Why do I ever doubt?
By the way, we had the best, best, best, best, best night in prison tonight!!!! Thanks for praying. I love God!!!!!
