As a follower and devoted member of the Broadway women’s
blog Refresh, I have to say “thank you.” This past month I have quickly gone to the
blog so I can get to know another’s heart. I have heard young, old, mothers, singles, empty nesters, “boot
camper”- young mothers, hurting, joyful, quiet, verbal hearts and any other
adjective one can throw in the mix!
I am fortunate to be a member of this particular body of
women. As an older “girl,” I have watched many of the writers’ lives over the
past years. The truth of their words, the faith of their hearts, the hurts,
hopes, and joys of their experiences as they are living for Christ on this side
of heaven have given me great encouragement! I am blessed to live in this
community of sisters who express transparency and desire to be more like
Christ. Each is a teacher in the good times, weak moments, and needy chapters
of life! Truly, this is a picture of the family of God learning to live well
together.
Sometimes life is so fast and spread out that sitting and
lingering with others’ hearts is almost impossible! I am thankful this blog
lets me get to know a glimpse of women’s hearts that I only see from a distance
and wonder who they are and how they are doing. I have loved hearing the
eloquent expression of each heart (I do love words a lot!).
This blog has given me cause to smile more, pray more, and desire more to know
others in my walk with Christ.
As I prepare for a more intense few weeks in the holiday
season, I look forward to who and what the blog will share…recipes, lessons,
scriptures, needs, hopes, joys, hurts…whatever shows up daily (and trust me, I
check it), I am thankful the post will be one that is useful to this heart!
“Give
thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has
done. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts. Glory in
His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the
Lord and His strength; seek His face always.” Ps. 105:1-4
