Job 42

"I admit I once lived by rumors of you; now I have it all firsthand—from my own eyes and ears!" I took this verse from The Message and though I did not suffer the same way Job did I found myself expressing my pain in the same way Job did.

The beauty of it, the way my tender hearted God works is I agreed to invite Him into the struggles of this life and He blessed me by revealing Himself to me. He and I went deep, got real, talked about the ugly stuff and I have seen God bigger than ever; in the deepest parts of my heart He has been. This journey of healing was given words through the book "The Shack" and I am so very thankful to my best friend - neither of us knew what God was doing when you slipped that book in my bag. I love you for that.

There is no part of my heart, head and life that God is not allowed to have. God has crawled inside this world to be with us and when He lives in us we can live together through any and everything.
