AND on Father's Day!!
It was quite a day!! :)
After 11 months of expectant waiting, Richard is wrapping up his job in Nashville this next week and heading out to Kansas City to join us here in our call to be intercessory missionaries~ WAHOO!!!!!!~
We will have much to share soon about our continued journey for God is downloading even more in our lives and hearts as the time arrives for Richard to join us here.
So love my pastoring, compassionate, missionary-hearted man.~
Our hearts are full as we look back on this past year ~ it has been so full of the Father's heart.
We had an amazing treat yesterday ~ straight from the heart of Abba God. After spending the day as a family, at church,at lunch, at a local park...swimming...we next had an impromptu visit from two amazing young missionaries to Israel and Finland...the conversation and love around the table was full of power as they opened up a Hebrew bible and gathered up my children like a flock around them ....instructing them in Hebraic style questions...
Next, the young men put in a Dvd that was about one of the friend's, Michael's recent wedding in Israel...
So very rich and glorious to see the glowing lights of Jerusalem just beyond the white wedding canopy...
Then the young men led us all in Israeli circle dancing as we worshiped Yeshua, Messiah, Jesus ...
Brown hands...tiny feet...massive peach hands...boy feet...girl feet...man arms raised...women waist bowing...Dancing with my earthly husband of 19 years...in a circle full of our quiver of children...some from the nations...joyfully singing with these brothers...It stepped past the immediate now and brought heaven to earth...images of the coming kingdom and the joy to come circled in my heart as we went around the living room last night...
Wonder's overflow... thanksgiving for this man, my earthly Adam, the one I have to reach my neck to smile up to :)...
this one
that God has chosen for me to journey with...
the one who whispers courage in my ear and reflects who God has purposed me to be...
Father to so many...
some our birthed children, some brought from the nations,some still being brought to our door...
and the many to come...
the gift of marriage...God's wondrous gift for man and woman in every step as we traverse home to Him...
full heart for the inheritance of Godly children...
kissed up, raised up as a gift for Jesus...
AWARENESS
...of Holy wind and fire...
a real heart that beats...
pursuing us...
... the tension between joy that transports our heart to the Father
as well as the ache and burst in our heart for Jesus' remaking of everything to new...
at the arrival of His coming!!!!!!...
to His waiting...made-ready bride...
And on that day...in that time... His REAL hands and LITERAL feet dancing the wedding dancing with me...His bride...with US, His children!...and we will look and grin and smile over the sea of multi-colored children's heads...dancing ribbons of every color...swirling gifts from the nations to Him...as we laugh with Joy and spin in the lights of Jerusalem...
(the song we danced to last night...)
O Lord bless me and keep me cause Your face to shine on me
Lord be gracious lift the light of Your countenance give me peace
I live only to see your face so shine on me
let the light of Your face shine down on my heart and let me feel it
Blessings and Love,
Gillian
