The poetic nuances that are tucked up in the Psalms and in the way that God speaks still today will forever leave me asking and digging for more.

I am FOREVER grateful for how God speaks directly to the tenderest parts of me in the moments that I least expect Him to.

I’ve been sitting on this for months, the story much too tender to share, until this last week, when God finally whispered, “Now” and I finally felt ready.

This is part of a longer piece that you can find on my blog, but the gist of it all is that something powerful shifts inside of you when you change the language that you use to describe your circumstances.

For me? That means that every time I’m overwhelmed and want to cry aloud to nobody in particular, “This is so HARD.” I need to shift my words. Because it’s all wildly holy ground. And when I call my hard things holy, as God sees them, the weight of it all shifts off of me and onto Him.

I’m still working in this. I haven’t perfected it yet, and I still find myself wanting to say that “h” word. But, WOW the shift that happens in my spirit when I interrupt myself and say, “God, this is SO HOLY.”

Try it for yourself. There aren’t really words for what it does. But it shifts something that I cannot see. And, at least for today, I can manage.
