Just no words.

Sometimes, when words fail and I can't describe what God is doing in my heart - in my life, in my family - I just end up talking circles around the reality. So lately, I've been letting Sara Groves sing my heart back to me as I put one foot in front of the other. 

Sorry for the lack of an inspirational post. But, as I dig deeply into God's purpose for this moment, those will come. 

For now, here's Sara's description of the landscape:

From This One Place

I was about to give up and that's no lie
cardinal landed outside my window
threw his head back and sang a song
so beautiful it made me cry

took me back to a childhood tree
full of birds and dreams

from this one place I can't see very far
in this one moment I'm square in the dark
these are the things I will trust in my heart
You can see something else
something else

I don't know what's making me so afraid
tiny cloud over my head
heavy and grey with a hint of dread
I don't like to feel this way

take me back to a window seat
with clouds beneath my feet

from this one place I can't see very far
in this one moment I'm square in the dark
these are the things I will trust in my heart
You can see something else
something else
