Heaven Is Kissing Earth
Today I received incredibly sad news… my little sister is dying.
They've done some tests and found cancer through out her body. Due to the fact that she's already incredibly frail from previous treatment, there's nothing they can do. She is at home and will live out the rest of her life with her family and friends. I've talked to her and to Chris, and they are both having a hard time on the one hand, but have a deep peace on the other. I too have a peace that is filing my broken heart. In fact, I feel as if God has been readying me for this day for a couple weeks. He's given me a heart of intercession, and in that place has quited my spirit and given me ears to hear him. I have to say, He is very real to me right now, and I'm incredibly grateful for that.
Jayda and I are close… I love her deeply, and I know she loves me. I will pray for her healing until it no longer makes sense. That said, I feel a real permission from God spend this season saying goodbye. My prayers for Jayda, Chris, and Ezekiel is that they will have an incredibly rich time together as a family over the next number of weeks and months. My heart is filled with prayers for them that can't yet find words (I need to grab a guitar.)
I Thank you all for your prayers, and pray that God will lead me as I live this very unfamiliar season of life. I pray for a blessing over relationship, and for a deep intimacy with the Father. Most of all I pray that God would hold Jayda close tonight (and the rest of her family, myself included.) Ang wrote a comment on my previous entry in which she mentioned that God had shown her "Heaven was kissing Earth", and that really resonated with my spirit. I pray that reality would be obvious to us more and more each day.
