Crazy LOVE!

Those who know me KNOW that I have the gift of words. Not in the way that I use them per say but in the fact that I use a lot of them!:) So... at this point for me to be without them is a bit odd to say the least. I want so much to tell you the story of our love in Romania but I dont want it to be anything but beautiful... honoring and uplifting! These people we met, if you met them your life would be changed, not by their circumstances that has little to do with it actually. They have a story to tell. I am thinking of that song... O how I love to tell the story of Jesus... when I speak with someone about the Gospel (when I have the courage to that is)I want to make sure I get it right. That I dont leave anything out. Certainly that the WHOLE story unfolds for you like a picture book. This is the same honor I pray to show to my friends in Romania. The children are loveable, huggable and full of LIFE! Sure there was a lot of poverty but there was also a lack of ABUNDANCE! They used their beautiful imaginations and played together and laughed out loud... not LOL. Kickball... pattycake games with Ms Suzie rhymes... relay games. Why do you think it was so hard for us to THINK of games to play? Because it didnt involve ABUNDANCE! Life with them for me was blessed SIMPLICITY! What we had was T I M E... and we filled it with relational activities. What a novel concept!
I feel like I crossed over to the land overflowing with milk and honey... and LEFT! How could I leave? Are you kidding me? Something so rich is there and here we are missing it! Well thats what I thought for the last 2 weeks... until....
Last night.
I cant get these lovely people off my mind... I cant move on with my life in a "normal way" because I think my "normal" is changed forever. I have a connection there... and the common thread is Jesus Christ. How sweet is that? It gets better... (said with a HUGE SMILE)
You see... in the Old Testament when they saw that the land overflowed with milk and honey... they also saw giants to conquer and they went back to tell others about the beautiful place they witnessed! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Thats good stuff!No wonder i am wrestling with words... no wonder emtions flow like rivers overflowing... it no wonder! I believe thats the point exactly. Taste it... see it... share it! However know that once you do you will never be the same again! Thats crazy love!
