Just had a feeling that I wanted to describe and then said, no, I can't describe it. I then picked up a book and turned to this poem by Kitty Crenshaw for a friend of hers and it spoke it perfectly.
Obscurity is the final phase
The hidden are those chosen then released.
They wear no garnish amid reality, no fame,
they serve unobtrusively without the noise of fame.
Yet peace burns through them like a flame.
Amazing Spirit....this is Kitty's description of ministry:
"I will help you carry that for while until you are strong enough, until you have found the ground of your being, until you understand this ever greater opening up to love. I will walk with you through this until the time comes when you can carry your cross alone.
It cost God everything and it couldn't cost us any less. I have learned that life is a joyful dance, but we must have the courage and the hunger to step into the dance. God is the dancer. Are we going to let Him dance us any way He wants, any time, any place?? It hurts sometimes but it's part of the dance and it hurts much more if we resist."
And our lives finally begin to speak.
You are awesome God. I appreciate so much what I see you are doing in others. I have no idea what you're doing in me.
