I have two very important announcements to make. 🙌

1) When God made me, he wired me with a measure of “listening skills” and “teaching skills”. I am always studying and learning something. And I tend to overshare my findings. Can’t help it, it just tends to burst out of me.

People in my life generally (I hope) feel safe sharing their lives with me, and I enjoy sharing what I am learning as an encouragement. I want to be transparent and I want to be able to pour life into people. It fills my cup and there’s nothing more life giving to me than to be able to operate in this realm.

I’ve had many people lately who want to be sensitive to what’s happening in my life. I love that people are so caring! However, I’m finding that people are holding back or apologizing for sharing their “stuff” because they feel it’s silly to share when I’m going through cancer. I want to say loud and clear to all my homies: DON’T stop sharing your lives with me! There isn’t a struggle scale and I don’t view this as a competition. NEVER feel bad to share a struggle with me (or a triumph for that matter… We could all use a win, right?) Everybody has a thing (or 12) that they are dealing with on a daily basis. It’s real, it’s valid, and sometimes it’s painful. If I’m someone you would normally trust with your details, continue giving me your details. I adore you and it helps me know how to pray, and encourage the people I care about. Like I said, it fills my cup! Plus, for Heaven’s sake, I have been SHOWERED with love, prayer, encouragement and affection. I want to return the favor!

2) I discovered this song today (maybe I’m late to the party?) and it flattened me. So I’m sharing it with you. No, seriously.

Unreserved, unrestrained Your love is wild Your love is wild for me It isn’t shy, it’s unashamed Your love is proud To be seen with me

‘Cause You don’t give Your heart in pieces You don’t hide Yourself to tease us

Uncontrolled, uncontained Your love is a fire Burning bright for me It’s not a spark It’s not just a flame Your love is a light That all the world will see All the world will see

That You don’t give Your heart in pieces You don’t hide Yourself to tease us, no You don’t give Your heart in pieces, no And You don’t hide Yourself to tease us

Your love’s not fractured It’s not a troubled mind It isn’t anxious It’s not the restless kind Your love’s not passive It’s never disengaged It’s always present It hangs on every word we say Love keeps its promises It keeps its word It honors what’s sacred ‘Cause its vows are good Your love’s not broken It’s not insecure Your love’s not selfish Your love is pure

You don’t give Your heart in pieces And You don’t hide Yourself to tease us You don’t give Your heart in pieces ‘Cause You don’t hide Yourself to tease us

You don’t give Your heart in pieces
