Joy
is the echo
of God's life
within us.

...thoughts about everyday life--with its joys and sorrows and oh, so many mysteries-- about opening our eyes to see God's hand and HEART in the details of daily life and about learning to hear His whispers of love in the midst of a shouting world...
what's with the title...?
a wordplay on the song title "It's The Hard Knock Life" from the musical 'Annie.' why? because, though at times life seems like it's just full of 'hard knocks,' it is truly full of wonderful displays of God's love for us...if we will but look. He enjoys reminding us of His amazing love in even the smallest ways!... like in the shape of a rock... a heart rock... whispering "My love for you is rock-solid!" so, this is what i want my time on earth to be about --pursuing A Heart Rock Life--seeing and delighting in the creativity, wonder, and love of the Lord no matter what life brings my way!
what's with the heart rocks...?
who am i...?

- a country-girl-at-heart transplanted in the heart of a southern california city, a well-loved daughter of our heavenly Father, a lover of music & colors & the smell of wet dirt, sea air, & freshly-mowed grass, a worshipper of Jesus, an avid admirer of the Creator's handiwork displayed in the details of His creation, and an amateur photographer of that amazing handiwork...
something to think about...
You don't have a soul.
You are a soul.
You have a body.

Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. ...1 Kings 19:11-13
Oh Sharilyn, you "see" Him so well. I you exude joy. ...
ReplyDeleteIt's such a joy to reconnect a bit with you. I've been horrid about visiting other blogs lately. But I think about you so often -- every time I see my heart-shaped rock on my bedside table.
You've blessed me more than you could know. ...
