So small yet so powerful...the heart. It beats to keep us alive, it flutters when that special someone looks our way and when it is broken the pain is worse than any words can describe.
An infection around the heart is what started my dad's whirlwind of sickness. The doctors say that the infection had most likely been around his heart since he was a small child. His heart had fought the infection for fourty plus years before a piece of it broke off and caused the hemorrhagic stroke. Thankfully even with the infection, stroke, brain surgery and heart surgery his heart is pumping as a normal 50 year old man's heart should.
Brian and I got to experience our hearts flutter by leaps and bounds today. We got to hear the sweetest sound we have ever heard. We heard our baby's heartbeat, the rapid, repetitive beats were hard at work and reminded us of just how Powerful our God is! He makes the day, the night and in between he weaves babies together in the most perfect of ways. Flutter, flutter even typing this my heart flutters again with excitement!
The broken hearted. Almost all of us have been there, we have felt the pain, loneliness and fear. I have seen people lose weight, cry themselves to sleep and feel that the hurt would never go away. In time the pain has been less severe and life moves on. At church we have been charged to pray "God break my heart with the things that break Your heart." A powerful prayer and how scary of the things that are revealed to us during this prayer.
The heart. It is life saving and life changing may we never forget that God who is above all and in all is in charge of our every heart beat. He is in charge of the exciting things that happen in our lives and the bad things that occur. May we love Him more than we love ourselves and may we all pray
"God Break My Heart With the Things That Break Your Heart."
:) this is beautiful, Brooke!
