I want to share the deep things in my life that stir my heart and revelations from Jesus that I think others may gain from. And maybe some vacuous things too...
How do I say thank You, Lord
For the way that You love
And the way that You come
For all that You've done All that You'll do
My hearts pours out thank You
You don't have to come But You always do
You show up in splendor And change the whole room
How do I say thank You, Lord
For the life that You gave
The cross that You bore
For the love You poured out
To ransom my soul
My hearts pours out this thankful song
You walk through all my walls
Conquered my shame
Stepped into my past
Fill my world with grace
You didn't have to come
But You wanted to
I say thank You
Today I'm thankful for jail calls. Nothing touches my hood momma heart like hearing from my kids in jail. The fact they remember my number and reach out to me never fails to make my day. Sometimes they want to talk about their upcoming court case, some want to share what God is saying to them, some want to know about their homies on the outs. No matter what, they know they're going to hear that I love them and even more importantly God does infinitely more. This evening I heard from one of my long lost ones. The last time we talked, he was being disrespectful and I told him I wouldn't tolerate the way he was acting. Today, almost a year and two jails later, he called to chat. I got to affirm to him that even though he'd made a mistake, he is indeed loved and lovable. That the Father uses me to display His heart towards these young adults astounds me. And for that I'm truly grateful.
