but...Thank you Melanie for answering your questions<br />but then you threw another deep one out there.<br /><br />(hmpf)I think it's very hard for me to revisit the buried treasures but as I come across some I need to do one of what you suggest but usually I bury (or leave them) again. I would have said I need to trash them but I'm learning how to look at the beauty in the ashes and in the garments<br />through the lens of Christ's righteousness and what would He have me do with this or that?<br /><br />Beautiful how you dance with God and share with us!!! I'm being stretched today... to go beyond <br />and live in Christ in garments of praise, but somehow Lent always draws me into the depths of sorrow and repentance when I should be perhaps more grateful in that there by the grace of God go I... I really would like to recapture some dreams that I've had to bury... and rejoice in the truths I've believed... I need to reclaim and prepare for a JOYFUL Resurrection.<br /><br />Thanks once again Melanie from your heart and your journey, you bring threads of restoration and hope.<br /><br />Love, peace and JOY still,<br />PeggyPeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07178137619890142365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751677754833136966.post-49092204091361537282011-03-03T10:28:40.241-05:002011-03-03T10:28:40.241-05:00You know Melaine, I have been physically going thr...You know Melaine, I have been physically going through 'stuff' and making decisions on what to keep, give away or trash. It's not an easy task just weeks after the death of my hubby but a necessary part of the letting go. Yet, my heart says don't touch me! Don't you dare go near the emotions that are buried deep within my soul! Hopes, dreams and purposes are gone. At the same time I don't like feeling this empty and void of life! I know there is much to be looked at but it is oh so Hard!<br />Thank you for continuing on your journey and allowing us to venture with you from the outside!

I realize that if the world had not turned upside down I would not be following God in the ministry I am pursuing now. I look forward to reading more of your journey.<br /><br />MaryThe Calm of His Presencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963836766874616080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751677754833136966.post-8084247892984649082011-03-02T19:39:23.190-05:002011-03-02T19:39:23.190-05:00Don't do that to us!

I realize it's a longshot to get you here (not sure they would fit the bill for travel expenses from Florida to Oklahoma), but I would sure like to meet you in person and hear your FULL and COMPLETE testimony.<br /><br />If you are ever near Oklahoma, please let me know. Maybe we can figure out a way to get you here or get me there!Amanda Herroldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947224166840325013noreply@blogger.com
