"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the the death."  Revelation 12:11

If hindsight is a good teacher, then I will let it teach me now.  For the sake of my future, I must remember the past and recall the faithfulness of God.  For whether I found myself in a pit of my own making or one imposed by someone else, God always showed up at my request.  He is who He says He is; He is love and has been my protector & salvation, healer & caretaker, my redeemer and deliverer time and time again.  I know that I am not even aware of the vast majority of His great interventions on my behalf and am also sure that is for my protection as well, for I would probably be overcome with the shame and guilt of understanding all my failures and how many times He has rescued me.

It’s His love that compels me.  (2 Corinthians 5:14) I am drawn to it like a bug to a light and want so much to bring others to it.

A good friend of mine gave me this quote in Nov. ’97:

So, come with me back to the beginning where I remember a kind of happy recklessness as a child; a freedom that was somehow lost through the years.  It is that recklessness, that self abandonment that I have set my sights to return to!
