She is like Jesus.

These three women have taught me, nurtured me, given me a hunger for God and His ways. At different times in my life I have learned from them. At a very young age, H loved me; she tangibly showed me the love of God. I look back on those years with her and see Jesus. G taught me about the heart of God and how He has deep emotions. My deep emotions are God-like and God-given. She helped me to channel them into prayer, compassion and hope, hope in God. D sought me out when I was unknown. She imparted her creativity to me, patiently teaching me are nurturing my creativity as a little girl. 

These three woman are servants, powerful, courageous servants. They are complete; their lives are full. And none of them have ever married.

Unfinishe

So many thoughts swirling
about life
love
truth
God.

It seems I just can't finish my thoughts.
I start to write, but I don't finish before I give up.
I want to finish
But I don't.

Every day I'm learning more
with more stories to tell.

About Jo
Telling her that she is beautiful
Then her pulling me close to her in an embrace
"I love you, thank you" she whispers.

About Carol
Her isolation
Her bitterness that grows and festers and pollutes
How one comment, so many years ago, left unforgiven has crippled her.

About running
How He is teaching me perseverance
Trust
Endurance
Not to worry.

There are more
I am learning
Gleaning
Growing.

I am loving
Giving
Working
Sinning
Turning
Forgiving
Resting.

It is hard for me to finish because I am not.
