my face hurts...

Life is beautiful.

It is full of ups...and full of downs. Full of times where the face muscles fight between what seems to be a slight-frown and laughter?

My face hurts.

This time that I am in has been full of face muscles. I have seen defilement. I have seen hurt. I have seen tragedy. I have seen loss. I have seen grace. I have seen distance. For the most part though, I have seen love. I am seeing lives being changed.

You see the LORD wants the messes. I am convinced of this. So are you. You know this, I know this. So why are we so afraid to admit the messes? And, why are we afraid of drama. TRUE DRAMA. Drama is the stuff that lives are made of. You know what I am learning is that when we don't want the drama in our lives or share it in others we are just being so Pharisaic. We are saying that the hard times in others lives are not worth our time or our love.

So GET OVER IT and bear with one another in love. I am ashamed of my lacking to do this gracefully.
