Hurricanes...

While this last week was spent reuniting with my husband and saying goodbyes to his family... and 3 of the most amazing brothers anyone could ever ask for... We were dealing with hurricane Irene.... seeing so many trees were ripped up and torn apart... things that you thought were firmly rooted. Crazy. We certainly can choose, unlike a tree, what winds we allow to uproot us... and what winds we do not. And if I'm going to be broken... I'm praying it's from His amazing, hurricane-like love blowing all over me...
He is jealous for meloves like a hurricane I am a treebending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a suddenI am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by gloryI realize just how beautiful you are and how great your affections are for me...
oh... how he loves us...
We are His portion and He is our prizeDrawn to redemption by grace in His eyesIf grace is an ocean, we're all sinking
So heaven meets earth with a sloppy wet kissAnd my heart turns violently inside of my chestI don't have time to maintain these regretsWhen I think about...
The way he loves us...
