Thirsting for
Longing for God
Thirsty for God-alive
I’m on a diet of tears – tears for breakfast, tears for supper.
What is hope? How to hope and praise go hand in hand?
Where is God?
Those ocean waves of life that crash and thunder about, leaving me washed up on the shoreline hardly able to breath, unable to hear the music. If He loves me all day and sings to me at night how do I hear it and feel it when I am like a fish out of water, washed up on the shoreline by the storm?
He gives sparrows a place to build, to be nurtured, to be safe, to be all they were created to be. So what does He make me?
“how blessed all those in whom you live, whose lives become roads you travel; They wind through lonesome valleys, come upon brooks, discover cool springs and pools brimming with rain! God-traveled, these roads curve up the mountain, and at the last turn – Zion! God in full view!”
Lord give me Your oxygen tank today, draw me up to lie in the sun today so the tears become diamonds glittering on my skin. Make the bottle of tears You hold into a perfume of exotic delight. Sing to me today on the beach, play Your wonderful classical guitar to me so I can dance for You, here where I have been washed up onto the beach, my bit of beach of life.
(Psalm 42&84 The Message)

This is so beautiful. Tears turning into glittering diamonds on your skin. I can see them and I just know that today you did receive from the Lord!
Hope is what makes us get up in the morning. Hope is the child in your heart believing in a better tomorrow. Hope is being washed up onto the beach and asking God for oxygen.
May you be blessed with all you dare to ask for...
Tears turning into glittering diamonds...God is going to give you the most beautiful tiara of diamonds. I just know that today He came and splashed you with the fragrance of His love!
Hope is when you are washed up on the beach thinking there will be no tomorrow; yet trusting in God to be your oxygen for today...
Be blessed!
Neritia this picture of a tiara is exquisite! Wow. Now that makes me feel like a princess - and are we not all princesses?
A friend shared an exercise. Sit down quietly and write "I am a daughter of the King". Then wait and see what God says and write it down. If it is a negative thought, don't write it - toss it away. Only write the good things God tells you as His daughter.
If the tears become the diamonds of the tiara I wonder where my emeralds will be? How about your rubies?
Wow Steph that was amazing. You have a beautiful way with words. God bless you sister
Oooh! Now I "know" who you are... I wanted to mail you 'cause I couldn't understan why you don't have a blog. You're such a blessing and a princess. A daughter of the King!
Enjoyed reading. Thanks for hopeful words in real situations.
