Yes, we are all imperfect, broken people and it has taken me a lifetime to realize that God enables broken glass to reflect many more facets of His Light than unbroken glass.

Thank you for stopping by. The stronges...Hi Leah, <br /><br />Thank you for stopping by. The strongest emotion I now carry is EXTREMENESS. This is expressed first in my gratitude for those who have given me freedom...Jesus Christ and the Americans who have served in our military. As I remember how badly I missed the USA, the level of thankfulness continues to grow even now. <br /><br />Secondly, my alone time with God was honed to the extreme. It is the most precious and vital part of me now and I require it. I will NEVER take it for granted EVER again. I know I was chosen to experience these extremes for such a time as this. In a country without Christ, where I was not allowed to speak, He taught me to write. In a country where I was not allowed to drive, He taught me to walk with Him continuously. In a country where I was to be submissive, He taught me to always stand up for Him. Leah, He taught me to hold tightly to Him and NEVER let anything or anyone come between us! <br />EXTREMELY THANKFUL, <br />~MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02798749070186270668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8258702062845294266.post-36417528386367296042010-07-03T05:14:39.020-05:002010-07-03T05:14:39.020-05:00So glad to have you back in the USA.
