His grace

Monday, June 23



"After all the words and all the ink and all the blank pages painted black with the adjectives of you, one thing is abundantly clear: Nothing I write will ever be enough to sum you up" - T.K. Gregson

It was exactly two weeks ago that Kevin had his heart attack. And it has been two precious weeks of staring at him while he sleeps, cherishing his breath that rises and falls softly on his pillow. Two weeks of being so blood-pumpingly aware of how he is my other half, amazed at all the little ways he makes me feel adored. Two sobering weeks of realizing how life would have looked so different without him, and two weeks of falling before the Lord in awe of his grace.

To be a partner with another human being is a marvelous gift. That God would dream up this inspiring delight of marriage, two humans coming together to love one another and be a gift to the world, is beautiful.

Praying today that God gives you perspective on your relationships. Grace, every glorious, ever tender, and abundantly loving, can pour and be the balm on whatever you are experiencing today.

Exodus 14:14
"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still"

  5. <3 beautiful Katie. I can't imagine how scary it would have been. We are all happy to hear that Kevin is doing well, just the other day Raeca asked me if Heaven (aka Kevin) was still in the hospital. She's been calling him Heaven ever since we met you guys for supper.

  14. As I have said many times in previous post, it must have been such an earth shattering moment for you and Kevin as well as everyone else he and you love. I'm just glad he is okay now, and it really is great seeing people appreciate life. :)

  20. Oh, Katie, how incredibly scary. A loved one of mine has had a medical catastrophe in front of my eyes, and the fear that pierced me was acute. I can only begin to imagine how your husband's heart attack must've rattled you. I'm glad to hear he is recovering.

  23. I have that scripture posted in my kitchen! I'm grateful to follow how you are taking in God's plans for you and your husband - what you describe (watching him as he sleeps) reminds me of being a new mother; about how precious and fragile our lives truly are. We are but a mist...
