Amazed, Thankful

What are you doing, God
Is this You speaking, somehow
into my life at this point
fanning into flame
this renewed hope
   renewed faith
   renewed trust

Is this You affirming
somehow reaching down to reassure
"yes, you do hear from Me.
yes, I am using you."
so that I will have courage
and faith
to go forward
in all those areas where I don't see a thing
but have only vague impressions
vague hopes

This is what I sense
and so I say, "Thank You"
Thank You for the reassurance
Thank You for the affirmation
Thank You for blowing me away once again
Thank You 
for moving my heart for the kids
for showing the place of connection
for giving words, to me
that connected with what You are doing, in them
leaving us all clear, that this is it
this is the crucial point, 
for their going forward
for their growth

BTW, 
You're blowing me away again, You know 
that You would use me 
in their lives
it's like Naaman's servant girl
or Balam's donkey
but I'll take it
deep down
it's what I want most of all
my life used by You
participating in Your great purposes
may I be yielded
and hearing
more and more
do it, Lord
Your good thing
far beyond anything
I could ask or imagine

Tears...

Tears come
My heart is hit
My heart breaks
For the kids I know
But barely know
And are leaving soon

My heart is overwhelmed at the mystery
The sense of being used in their lives

My heart breaks
Tears flow
And I'm thankful
Because these tears tell me
That I am alive
Even though exhausted
And could feel 'dead'
They assure me

My heart is still alive
  it can be touched
    it can be moved
      it cares
About things that are important
