A Net of Hope

I am always surprised by the means in which the Lord uses to bring healing to my heart. I’ve usually envisioned that “anointed” person of the hour laying hands on me and ‘pow’ it’s done–you know the Jericho wall experience when all wounds, inhibitions, etc. come tumbling down? There have been no ‘walls a-tumbling’ recently but more of a slow melting. A simple thing like Facebook has helped me reconnect with my past life of growing up in Taiwan. At times my life in Taiwan seems like it was a dream from another world experience. I went for years rejecting, not consciously, my relationships and past just because it was too hard to explain or make relevent to the day and times I lived in the present. I didn’t see it as a rich resource but  a painful ‘what the heck do I do with this’ part of my life? Now, as friends are posting pictures and going down memory lane , I find myself treasuring and wanting to gleam everthing possible from the people I grew up with and knew while in Taiwan. What a treasure chest the Lord has blessed me with! I know this will eventually flow into the other areas of my life. Hopefully there will be more to come…
