Inspire Me Monday - Week Thirty Four
Can I tell you a secret?I am tired.I am wanting another week of Christmas vacation before going into the "reality" of schoolwork, working, the busy of it all.I am wanting more of the rest, more of the wonder of it, more of something. I don't even know what that something is and it causes an emptiness that I cannot totally explain. And my heart is breaking with the heaviness of it all. Different things seems to break my heart every day. The choices I make.The choices my children make.The choices complete strangers make. And every day there are times when I want to do something over.To make it more perfect. As the babes sleep through the night or my little one stops asking me to marry him.To realize that when that moment was happening, it was the last and I needed to savor it more than I did. But then, I realize that is a world with me in the center of it. And when we are the center of our days, when we stand first before the light, there is no room for illumination. For when we look inward, there is no longing for the outward. And yet, there is still that broken heart. As Ann so beautifully puts it:"The secret way to heal a broken heart is to let love leak out like an ocean through all the cracks." To give until your grieving is dulled by the beauty of joy.To hope until the wonder isn't painful.To love until the brokenness becomes a part of another. Because maybe we were not made to be fixed right now. Maybe, just maybe, we are not called to help heal each other, but to join each other in the brokenness, because there is only One who was crushed so that He can heal us fully. And He is just waiting for you.To heal our hurt.To help our doubt.To forgive our yuck. And if you think you are the only one with yuck, come back tomorrow when I talk about my yuck. But for now, be inspired by the One who loves you no matter what! And share your inspiration as well!Here are a few tips to make this easy peasy:Easy Peasy...1,2,3:
