| Willow Promise I
never thought I was going to love Texas (the star with the heart) but
somehow God knit my heart to my church family there and I DO love it-
or THEM, rather. |

| I
have always loved weeping willows, and there are TWO of them in the backyard
of our new home in Maryland. They command the view in the backyard. I
can see them from every window of the house. I think God gave me those
trees to be a constant reminder of His watchful care over my life. I may
feel isolated from those I love in Texas. I may not feel like I am a part
of a community. And I may not understand God's purposes in moving me to
Maryland. But those two willows sway and wave with the gentlest of breezes
to remind me that I am in the care of Someone who knows my heart intimately.
He knows what I need even more than I do. The song lyrics are from the Matt Redman song, "Blessed Be Your Name." The song has been coursing through my brain the entire 7 months I've been living out here. "You give and take away. You give and take away. My heart will choose to say, Lord, blessed be Your name." God gave me my festive throng of friends in Texas. Then He took me away from them. Then He gave me willow trees in my backyard... No matter if it's giving or taking, my heart needs to CHOOSE to bless the Lord for His sovereign control of my life. - Erin |
