liquid prayer

Closets of souvenirs—the trinkets we stuff the baggage we hide. Trashbags of teddies from ex’s, flesh chards from that internal forest fire in ’05, vial of the water coughed up from drowning, and our own urn. That’s what we hide. The ugly. The things we think if someone saw, they wouldn’t want us. Yet, that hidden scarlet letter is our passage point to the heart of God. To connect with the God of caring and kindness, let your wounds find air. Expose them to Him in open cries. Find the water in the weeping. As we let go—salty droplets, closets unhinged, downpours from drowning soul…He meets. He hears. He responds. He comes. He loves. He cries with you in rain. That flood of love waterfalling us in those heartbreaking soulaching screams… that flood of love overcomes. All the pain eclipsed by His love.

Those cries—the 911 of the soul—move the heart of God.

There’s some wounds only tears can find.

The Encouraging Mom

Hi! I’m Annabeth, your internet mom. Everybody needs more fun, more color, more love! I am here to lighten your load—to listen, help, and of course, encourage you! I create painting songs and drawing dances. May my art soothe like tea and help like a hot bath. When it’s raining in your life, come take refuge in the cozy sweater I knitted you, and enjoy this little corner of internet cozy cabin, where the coffee’s on and you are safe. I love you, person reading. More than any person though, the Answer to storm is Jesus! He’s completely transformed my life, and any good you see in me, is truly Him! I want to pray with you—come into the Love who is Son, and who can breathe life into every cell of your soul. He’s the God of hope, caterpillar-to-butterfly, and He works best with mess! Come to Him as you are. You’ll be surprised! God is love.💛
