Just wow.
As I read these words from 8/25/2023 i think of 2/23/2024.
A moment in time where the Lord ordained another pause in our life.

A plan from the very beginning. One that He entrusted me and Derek, my amazing husband with.

Let that be… all I need to know.

What God says about it, is all that matters.

Love.
And Love hard.
Make time.
And make it count.

Our Love, let that be, all I need to know.

Gods Love, let that be, all I need to know.

Oh friend.

You are so Loved.
Let that be, all you need to know.

God pauses life to show such great unconditional sacrificial perfect Love for you…

Let that be…. All you need to know.

I woke up with a song in my heart today.

An oldie but goodie.

I was thinking about life and how we are just to busy.
And then that led me to thinking about one of the most influential people in my life.

She always had time.
Always!!!
Even in the busy.
We have time.
Just gotta make it.

I was listening to this song this morning and thinking about how time really does pause when you need it to.

Since Tuesday morning at 8:53am.
Time has stood still for me.
I realized it as the kids and I did our devotional and I dropped them off and got back to work this morning.
Behind our scenes, tho time was paused for us, life still kept going and I get to step back into life.

Life.
A life I do love with people I do need.
Tho we were paused.
They held us.
They kept us going.

“Look at this face.
I know the years are showing.
Look at this life.
I still don’t know where it’s going.
So many questions still left unanswered.
And when I feel you near.
I see so clearly.
The only truth I have ever known is me and you.
I dont know much
But I know I love you.

And that may be, all I need to know.

That may be, all there is to know.”

As simple as it sounds…..
that’s all we all really long to know is that we are loved and we love.

And without a doubt I know I am and my prayer is you know you are.

John 3:16…

Let it start with time.

I seen this scripture a little different this morning with this song and realizing time pause but kept going at the same time so let me try and share.

Here is a moment in time where Gods time pauses.
Jesus time pause.
For a moment.
Everything in life shifted in this single moment of time pausing for an act of Love greater than we can possibly understand but can empathize with as we journey through life.
It all started with a Love so pure and true. So perfect and whole. Without flaw. Without doubt. Without conditions.

Time paused for you.
Because you are loved.
Pause and receive it.
Make time to invest in it.
You are loved…
And that is all there is to know.

I pray with all my heart that you Let God start loving you in all the places you don’t know how to even be loved. Let Him show you. Let Him speak to you. Let Him love you. From that place, Love overflows.
