disclaimer: i am not normally a fan

Categories

Typically, Christian skits really crawl under my skin. Kind of similar to the way hallmark cards, with an entire paragraph of someone else’s sentimental emotions typed onto some card stock with the only personalization being a handwritten signature underneath, do to me.

So I was hesistant to watch this. But knowing the sender (my mom), whom I highly respect in her discernment and faith, I succumbed. And 4 minutes in, was sobbing. Something about the fighting Jesus is doing to win our hearts. Another disclaimer: I AM NOT A CRYER. Ask Matthew. Ask my family. I think the Spirit is changing that though as he lets me start feeling again, instead of gritting my teeth and just surviving through a lot of pain and emotion.

If you have 5 minutes. Please watch. You may not resonate with it, but maybe some of you will. And be reminded of his fierce love for you this morning.

I am Amy Smith

Amy Smith and Family including Matthew, Brighton, and Levi

I’m a mother of two minismiths (with the third having beat us all to heaven, lucky duck), wife to Matthew, crazy-loved daughter of the King, and fervent believer in the healing power of bluegrass music.

As healing and growth has blown the lid off 2009 for our family, we stand amazed at the overwhelming love of our Father and his sweaty diligence in sawing away the dead branches this year. It was messy, trust me.

2010 has continued to press us hard into Jesus as an unexpected pregnancy put a halt on our adoption plans, leaving us overjoyed with anticipation for minismith #3. Only to find out Jesus had called her back to Himself 9 weeks later.

We now stand with our hands open, asking Him to fill our aching hearts with Himself and lead us on through this season of healing.
