But once I unleashed prayers of asking God to "open" me to such things I was floored. Literally blown back by what He delivered in my life. There is a sadness that still comes over me at times...thinking about the years lost. The years of being so locked and closed that I couldn't feel His warmth. Didn't know His love. Certainly didn't trust... <br /><br />"Allow me to blow open the windows of my heart to receive the fresh air of your spirit." Yes! Might I steal this for my own prayers? Because this is spot on with just how I feel.<br /><br />Beautiful words, Rebekah. So glad that I'm getting a chance to know your wonderful heart.Jennifer Frisbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15500924562926241625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455946971539117782.post-39311136421006340842015-02-20T07:19:19.869-08:002015-02-20T07:19:19.869-08:00We'll be praying this together then - yes!
