Listen "Episode 62: Packed & Ready"
Episode Synopsis
Ever seen one of those videos of a baby with total hearing
loss hearing for the first time post surgery? You see the
too-awesome-to-comprehend-feeling overwhelm them as an unspeakably beautiful thing they’ve never experienced and didn’t even know existed enters their sphere. Or the child with profound vision challenges getting glasses, seeing clearly for the first time the parent they’ve known primarily through touch, sound, taste, smell; like a vision of one made in the image of God? Even the stoniest of hearts must see that and find itself defenseless against the pang
of tender flesh pushing against the armor built up through God-knows-what kind of heart-hardening pain?
When a NICU nurse did all she knew to do to move past her
feelings of worthlessness, God came in the side door of her one ridiculous life – through her love of travel – and over-whelmed her with His great love. Rather than a dramatic moment of healing, she experienced a warm slow embrace so deliberate that the low din of worthlessness that hummed constantly in her ears was drown out by the Lord’s relentless pursuit.
Curious? We sure hope so!
