As we drove passed this broken down building...I found myself looking as far inside as I could. Know what I mean? -Some of you probly do. I can't even remember now what I said to Myguy. But this picture got so far in my head.... maybe my heart too.
"You wanna go back? he asked?"
"No... it's okay,"
We drove aways further, and then I knew I really wanted to turn around. Myguy so sweetly obliged and before I knew it the Jeep was doing a U-ey. We parked across the unfamiliar road and I took a photo of the whole place, and then zoomed in closer.
I think I could journal for days on this one scripture picture.
Rejoicing and thankful,
xoxo

Beautiful scripture and song. You are the second post I've seen that had the song. Praise God, I am redeemed.
I am so glad you turned around...I enlarged the picture and it is wonderful and in my heart also.
No matter how long I stay gone from here you ALWAYS bless my soul.. Thinking of you and I have so missed my friends and trying to come back.. Healing is slow, but God always does just exactly what we need..

OH LEA how I've missed you! and your sweet wisdom!! LOVE this post! What an awesome reminder from God in that place that once was!! So cool! So glad you are gettin back in your groove. Your pic of the porch is great. Cool clock. More words of wisdom!! Don't be discouraged keeps coming to my mind. All the hard work in the gardens and then the drought!! I guess there's a lesson kearned in there somewhere!! Have a great day Lea!! Fall is a comin!! Yay!! XOXO Love ya, Fran.
Amazing what effect a picture like this can have! I read all the comments above me, and I see they all reacted like I did. Was it the music, the picture, your comments, or a combination of it all??? I pick the combination answer. Redeemed! Sometimes I feel like that old, rickety house, all in shambles, and so needing love, attention and fixing. Yet, here I stand, redeemed, all fixed, perfect, and will be that through eternity! As Christians, we often "spout" words like "redeemed" and forget to really think deeply as to what that cost, and what it bought us. Thank you for this, Lea! Just so worth remembering today!
Great story and post, I'm glad you turned around to get the picture!
