What I Have Learned:
When it happens to you, you don't have to wonder.... In some sense, you find yourself captive to a power that is so truly sweet and surrender is really the only option you have.... At the best of times or ways, the Holy Spirit is leading you in it all... It keeps one balanced. It keeps one honest. It keeps one capable of love that is neither about possession or manipulation but just pure openness, care, & grace. And then you don't write words like these to brag. Bragging is not even possible, because it is all about faith. And if your heart should break in the process, you know you're not alone in the fellowship of the heart-broken... and so, although fear will be a sibling, it can never speak as loud as love. And love: It is more pragmatic than simply being practical.
