I have my heated seat full blast whenever I drive... never mind that my butt is about to catch on fire... <BR/><BR/>I so appreciate your post on so many levels. The fire is definitely not the place we would choose, but it's where God purifies us and brings Himself glory (blessing us in the process). I love your observation that the ropes were the only thing burned away. I wonder how much freedom we miss because we aren't willing to follow God into the flames.<BR/><BR/>I love you - and I love your photos - they are beautiful! The first one of the dress is breathtaking (dreamy)... I love the ones of M where the toys, and his hand with bubbles on it, are in focus and his little face is in the background. Precious!!<BR/><BR/>Hugs & much love!Rebecca Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963057412380331638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148039363496292683.post-59986942640862230682008-11-22T16:37:00.000-07:002008-11-22T16:37:00.000-07:00Tish, you are a special treasure and never cease t...Tish, you are a special treasure and never cease to amaze me.

When you pass through the water, I will be with you; in the rivers you shall not drown. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; the flames shall not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in return for you. Because you are precious in my eyes, and glorious, and because I love you"...<BR/><BR/>By far, one of my favorite readings, and I'd forgotten this story that you shared here. Thank you for bringing me ever closer to God.<BR/><BR/>You amaze me with your strength.<BR/><BR/>much love to you as you move through your grief.kitchuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03907460384010952009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148039363496292683.post-48749376752116968392008-11-19T07:22:00.000-07:002008-11-19T07:22:00.000-07:00What a powerful post.
