"Brighten My Heart" -Sixpence None The Richer
My heart is as dark as the soil sodden with winter rains.
My soul is as heavy as the peat freshly dug from the bog.
My thoughts swirl like willow branches caught in autumn winds.
My body as tense as a cat's as it stalks its prey.
Help me open my heart to You,
Help me open my heart to You,
Help me open my heart to You, oh Jesus.
It's what I long to do.
My heart is as dark as the soil sodden with winter rains.
(Lord, brighten my heart)
My soul is as heavy as the peat freshly dug from the bog.
(Lord, lighten my soul)
My thoughts swirl like willow branches caught in autumn winds.
(Lord, still my thoughts)
My body as tense as a cat's as it stalks its prey.
(Lord relax my body)
...Kate, what's with your grandma???? Is she okay? I missed you again today, but sometime we shall talk--I promise. I love you and miss you.

I like those lyrics; we need grace, we need help just to even be open to Jesus--help to receive His love because we hardly recognize perfect love and forgiveness.
"Perfect love drives out fear..."
My grandma just had surgery on Thursday; complicated, involving her head, won't go into detail here but she's recovering... she's really sensitive to drugs/anaesthetics so it's taking longer than expected. We're going back up to see her next Sunday. Pray for her; that she would be given, as a gift from God, a deep and unshakeable determination to get well. She's going to need to be disciplined about physical therapy and that's not really her style. My grandpa is amazing through all of this and I'm glad they're going through it in Florida so we can go up and encourage him!
Anyway, that's what's going on...
it's so frustrating to walk back in the house and hear I missed you AGAIN!! Tell me about your week, dear one.
