she talked a lot about healing. about forgiving. about accepting the past but choosing to live in the present. about how sometimes it's okay to tell God we're angry or upset or think He's being unfair ... because that's honest communication. it's not about saying pretty prayers and holding the ugly emotions back ... but saying what we really feel.
she said something like, "it's okay to be angry at God. i don't say that to be disrespectful ... i say that because i know He can take it. He wants to know our honest feelings so He can help us understand. so go ahead and tell him how you really feel ... and see how He responds."
i also love this quote she shared from rev. jesse jackson:
"most of the emotion you feel today is not even about today ... it is baggage ... we must be pulled by our dreams, not pushed by our memories."and here's a video of an exceptional Hilary Weeks song she played for us (lyrics below):
He knows your heart
He knows your pain
He knows the strength it took just to simply breathe today
He sees the tears that you cry
He knows your soul is aching to know why
He hears your prayers
each humble word
When you said you couldn't face another day
He understood
He knows the path you walk blind
Though you've felt alone
He's never left your side
He knew there'd be moments
when no earthly words could take away your sorrow
and no human eyes could see
what you're going through
When you've taken your last step
and done all that you can do
He will lift your heavy load
and carry you
He'll bring you peace and leave you whole
and in the darkest night He'll comfort you
until you know the sun will rise with each new day
You will have the strength to live again
He knew there'd be moments
when no earthly words could take away your sorrow
and no human eyes could see
what you're going through
When you've taken your last step
and done all that you can do
He will lift your heavy load
and carry you
He hears you
when you're crying in the night
He hears you
when your soul longs to fight
Til the morning will come
and the light of the dawn reassures
that in the moments
when no earthly words can take away your sorrow
and no human eyes can see
what you're going through
When you've taken your last step
and done all that you can do
He will lift your heavy load
and carry you
happy sunday.
