Those are the kind of moments you wish everyone could have, right? When life becomes so clear and change finally seems possible again! I wonder if those dear women even know how valuable they were to you right then. As women, we like to gush over one another. And I just wonder if older women get gushed over anymore. If you didn’t get the chance then, maybe you could share with them what kind of personal impact they made on you. Just like I’m trying to do with you now! THANK YOU for the personal impact your life made on me this morning.

Stacy thanks so much for sharing. I can relate. I live in Michiagan so summer and nice weather is really exciting. Summer seems to be the time where I get lax and spend more time playing and less time in His word. I can see where me being lax is spilling into other areas of my life, and reading your post was a reminder of that. Thanks again for sharing your heart.

Love your transparency. We all need to be like the tree firmly planted…whose roots do not run dry.

Life with all we juggle can be distracting not only from our purpose, priorities, & passion, but down right exhausting & overwhelming! I have thought so many times, “Please, somebody slap me! Anybody, slap me!!” because I just realized I’m surviving that day & not living & loving it! Maybe not every moment can be that, but He loves us too much to leave us void & overwhelmed! I actually told my sis in law today, ” Ever have one of those days where you tell yourself snap out of it, dummy, you’re stinkin up all the fun?!” Thanks, Stacy, for being so beautifully transparent! That ugly “I’m perfect” facade people love to wear keeps them in the dessert of loneliness! Your honesty is refreshing!:)

“How lovely is your dwelling place, oh Lord Almighty. My soul yearns, even faints for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.” Ps. 84:2

May we all be able to speak David’s words with his passion and urgency …Thank you, Stacy, for your candor.

it’s hot here at my house., 112 today. it feels like desert heat. and i am cranky and out of sorts from being cooped up. but reading this i realize i am cranky and out of sorts because i am an in a spiritual desert. i want back into the passion filled, joyful life. you mentioned repenting… i think i need to have me a date with some of that.

Just about the time we think we have gone deep enough with God, He calls us right out into deeper waters. Enjoy the deep water!
Luv ya!!! Kim

So very real and vulnerable. I agree- when we are in the desert, it makes us that much more desperate to get out- and desperate for Him. Thirsty for living water that never runs dry! Thanks for being so real, loved your blog! :}

Stacy, thanks for your transparency. Thanks for reminding us that there is only one source of living water. There is nothing like time with Him!

I’ve walked in that same dessert where the obviousness of why I’m there is not so obvious to me until it hits me upside the head..and I somehow don’t realize how much I miss my sweet time with Jesus until I dive back into his living water. Thank you for your honesty and for sharing with us this sweet account of women who’s hearts beat for Jesus.
