<a href="https://youtu.be/UzaghRdbn7E" target="_blank">Watch this week’s post video introduction</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have a moment in our weekly church service where the
whole room is silent for a minute following the sermon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a chance to be quiet and listen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One day we were invited to hold our pain out
before God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I closed my eyes and
pictured holding a glowing white ember in the palms of my hands, so scorching
to the skin, I could hardly bare it. From the silence of my heart, I found my
soul confessing, <i>I am so lonely.</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That benediction was over a year ago, but I find myself
returning to this topic, curious about its underlying current.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Loneliness seems to weave in and out of my
days, flowing around even the most rock-solid relationships in my life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here’s what I am starting to understand about this hot ash I
hold in my hands, this beguiling river that streams under my feet...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Loneliness can be hard to perceive.</b> It is possible to appear one way and feel
another. I seem to excel at ambivalence.
Someone recently told me, “You exude joy.
That’s what it’s like to be around you.
If you’re upset, you are going to have to tell someone, because they
aren’t going to pick it up from your body language.” I was reminded of this at church recently
when someone remarked, “You seem really happy,” <i>
</i><i>Oh no!</i> I thought, <i>I’m actually
sad AND I’m happy to see you!</i> The pain of loneliness can be eased momentarily
in the presence of others, but once they leave, there you are again, standing
in the river alone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Loneliness, on some level, is inevitable.</b> In <i>Oh, The Places You’ll Go!</i><i> </i> The great Dr. Seuss writes, “All Alone! Whether you like it or not, alone will be
something you'll be quite a lot.”
Loneliness is a human emotion that everyone experiences, but there are
studies out there showing that those with physical disabilities experience a
higher level of loneliness than the general population (1). There are many reasons for this. Sometimes it is practical barrier such as
driving. This task is impossible for
some, and challenging for others.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Prematurity may also be a contributing factor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One study suggests that preemies born in the
1980s, especially before 34 weeks gestation, are not only more likely to be
disabled, they are also more likely to: be timid than their peers, struggle
with adult relationships, have fewer romantic partners, and experience lower
self-esteem (2 & 3).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Social economics paint a similar picture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dr. Al Condeluci, Ph.D., has done extensive
research on social capital and disability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Social capital is the value that is added to our lives because of our
relationships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He estimates that while
the typical person has about 150 important relationships in their lives, a
person impacted by disability may have as few as 25 (4).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Loneliness is not always dependent on whether or not there
are people in the room</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Loneliness
happens when you’re eating lunch and you realize everyone at the table will go
home to families and children, but you’ve gone home to an empty house for the
last decade, and the chasm between you and them is widening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It happens when you are with your doctor who
has spent her career treating people with CP and she looks at you and says, “I
don’t really know what it’s like to live with the fatigue you face, I don’t
have cerebral palsy.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How can you be so
close, but so far away?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Loneliness is an invitation to remember God is with us</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God <i>is</i> with you. God understands your unique
life and its challenges. God sits next to you at the table when you eat alone,
offering satisfying friendship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God
stands between you and your friends helping to bridge the gap when life
experience doesn’t stretch that far.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God
comforts you in your pain and gives you rest in your fatigue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God will give you grace to live <i>your life</i>,
the life you have, even if it isn’t the life you want.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Loneliness is best eased with love and friendship</b>. Victor
Anderson, Ph. D. (2011) writes, “The relational challenges experienced by
disabled persons point to a deep need for friendship and companionship. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Relational needs are seldom met with an
occasional contact...feelings of aloneness that are controlled in one hour may
be ferociously unleashed in the next.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><i>Yet true friendship serves as a balm repeatedly applied and rubbed deep
into the soul</i>,” (p. 236-237; 5).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you know someone who is impacted by disability, move
towards them; It is likely they are lonely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>People don’t want to admit it aloud because loneliness is a need that
can not be met independently; it cannot be hired out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Offer a hug, invite them to dinner, look them
in the eyes and say, “I see you, and I am so glad you’re here.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Small interactions, done repeatedly over
time, interrupt the flow of loneliness and help people remember they are not
alone in life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>No matter who you are</b>, there are a million reasons why
building relationships with people is a challenging task. There is never any
sure promise of success, but I can think of about one reason why we should try
to move towards each other anyway, in spite of any statistics, scientific studies,
or life circumstances.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s simply this:
love changes people.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The last time I was deeply hugged by another human being, I
came away realizing I had a greater capacity to love humanity than I realized
or was currently employing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe if
you love someone, they will not only be filled, but also empowered to go and
love others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As my friend Steve Wiens
says in his new book, <i>Whole</i> (2017), “True restoration for one person leads to
restoration for another ” (6).<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It was midnight when I heard a <i>clunk</i> at my apartment door.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I smiled, then rolled over and went back to sleep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Awaiting me in the morning was a precious
cardboard box with <i>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows</i> waiting inside.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was summer 2007 and I had a deadline to keep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was finishing up graduate school so most of
my days were spent at my desk, tapping away at computer keys, steeped in
thought, as I finished my paper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But just outside my door was something so much more
inviting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each day I rationed out the
number of pages I had time to read.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I
visited the campus library, I saw heads bowed in front of the same thick pale
mint book with a mustard dust jacket.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What page are you on?!” was quickly becoming as common a
greeting as “Hello.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I savored every
page that summer, drinking in their goodness down to the very last drop. I
had never read such an amazing series since C.S. Lewis’ <i>The Chronicles of
Narnia</i> and doubt I ever will again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><i>Harry Potter </i>was the fiction series of my generation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was our <i>Narnia</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I started to tell this story to a room
full of graduate students this summer, I began to cry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My emotion surprised me, but the thing is: I believe that
interaction with good quality literature actually changes a person. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are many reasons why I love being a school librarian,
but nothing is more sacred to me than putting quality literature in the hands
of children. Ultimately, I am realizing, part of my job is to help students
step into their own wardrobes, step onto their own Nimbus 2000s, and step aboard their
own private boats.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When students come up to my desk and ask, “Where’s <i>The Lion,
The Witch and the Wardrobe?</i>”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ll admit
that I’ve had to choke back a few tears over the course of my career while
walking them over to the Ls. I have such vivid memories of watching the series
on the BBC as a kid at grandma’s house and then finding the book on the library
shelves in third grade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When my parents
inherited a wardrobe, I stepped inside it because I wanted to find Mr. Tumnus
over by the lamp post.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Narnia filled my
heart with wonder, expanded my imagination, and helped me dream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>C.S. Lewis understood the emboldening power
of his words as he explained, “Since it's so likely the children will meet
cruel enemies let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic
courage…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maurice Sendak’s <i>Where the Wild Things Are</i> is another of my
all-time favorites. I have a bobble-head Max on my desk at work and a picture
of Max in his boat at home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i>Where the
Wild Things Are</i> teaches us it’s okay to want an adventure, to journey far from
home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes you just need to dance
around and have your own Wild Rumpus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But, when the fun has run out, when you find yourself lonely and
homesick, you can always return. It’s just a boat ride away. The world will
feel less like a jungle and more like a familiar place to belong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A meal is always waiting for you and I bet if
you taste it, you will find that your soup is still hot.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When kids bring up <i>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone</i> for
the first time, I feel like I am witnessing a holy moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are about to embark on a journey where
they will likely meet their three best friends: Harry, Ron, and Hermione.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They will feel the thrill of becoming a
champion as they catch the snitch in a quidditch tournament.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They will have tasted the sweetness of a
chocolate frog from the treat cart on the Hogwarts Express and the
disappointing surprises found in Bertie Botts Every Flavor Jelly Beans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Watch out for black pepper and grass!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They will have glimpsed into the truth that
all of us need to remember: even though these are dark times, in the end, goodness will
ultimately prevail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>J.K. Rowling ended
her series with the statement “All is well;” Julian of Norwich said a similar
thing “All shall be well, all shall be well...For there is a force of love
moving through the universe that holds us fast and will never let us go.” <o:p></o:p></div>

I’m sure you have your own story of a book that changed your
life, inspired your dreams, or helped you remember that your imagination is
more expansive than you once thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
"Now that same day two of them were going to a village
called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with
each other about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed
these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you
walk along?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They stood still, their faces downcast. One of them,
named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not
know the things that have happened there in these days?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What things?” he asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet,
powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. The chief priests
and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified
him; but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel.
And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In
addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision
of angels, who said he was alive. Then some of our companions went to the
tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to
believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to
suffer these things and then enter his glory?” And beginning with Moses and
all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures
concerning himself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As they approached the village to which they were going,
Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. But they urged him strongly,
“Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in
to stay with them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave
thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened
and they recognized him,and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each
other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the
road and opened the Scriptures to us?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p>____</o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Can you imagine what it must have been like to have the Word
made Flesh explain the Word to you in the flesh?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The disciples traveling on the road couldn’t
take it in fast enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They begged
Jesus to stay with them and eat so they might continue to chew on his every
word, drinking in its goodness to the very last drop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have this passage framed in my home because I just can’t
get over their reaction, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked
with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The word “opened” in the Greek is the word <i>dianoigo</i> and its
imagery is vivid. It means to open what was once closed with a dividing
action.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think of the temple veil being
torn in two, a current event that likely sprinkled their conversation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i>Dianoigo</i> is used to describe the arrival of a
first born son coming through the folds of the womb. It can also mean to open
one's soul, i.e. to rouse in one the faculty of understanding or the desire of
learning.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Can you see it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Firstborn of all Creation’s emergence into the world and onto the dusty road
towards Emmaus that day opened the hearts of the disciples.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their encounter aroused in them a desire to
understand the Word of God and their hearts were set ablaze.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I suspect, if you are a teacher, someone walked with you
down the road and opened your mind, <i>dianoigo</i>, to the very passion that burns
within you for the subject you teach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You may not have recognized the impact this person had on your journey
until they were gone, but the encounter was real because your heart is still
burning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Today, reflect on your teaching journey. Who walked with you along the
road, opening you up to learning?</span></div>

It has happened a few times this summer already; I was
riding my bike through the neighborhood<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

when the man from the lawn service
stopped what he was doing, turned off the mower, and said, "You look like you are
really <i style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">enjoying</i><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 16px;"> yourself!"</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He hasn’t been the only one to stop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The kids in the neighborhood sometimes stand
mouth open at the edge of their lawns, watching me as I bike down the road.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m sure many of them have never seen a
recumbent trike before, and usually as I whiz past, I hear a shouted confession
from cupped hands, “I like your bike!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
A teenager once named my bike the <i>Lazy-Matron 2000</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Admittedly, riding my bike is like pedaling a
lawn chair through the neighborhood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s very comfortable, and if I could somehow figure out how to sip a
glass of lemonade at the same time, I don’t really see any reason to come home!<o:p></o:p></div>

Joy oozed out of me while singing in my car.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think, at times, the car can become a
sanctuary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The journey from here to
there becomes less about the responsibilities waiting at the destination and
more about the moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My friend Joel Hanson
generously gave me an early copy of his new CD <a href="http://www.thedoor.org/welcome/featured/?view=mobile" target="_blank">Let Me Tell You Everything</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The whole album is great, but some of the
songs are about praising God and that just gets me jazzed thinking about
heaven!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, there I was, savoring all these thoughts of standing in
a massive choir wearing high heels, while singing out loud to the words in the song
coming from my car stereo. I was so blissfully lost in pleasure that I didn’t even
notice when my own family pulled up next to me and tried to get my attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My sister-in-law described the sight later:
<i>There you were, just smiling away!</i><o:p></o:p></div>

Joy oozes out of when I teach college courses.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For the past several summers, I’ve had the opportunity to
teach adults at the college level.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
love all aspects of this opportunity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
is beautiful to walk alongside people who have answered their callings to become teachers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel a mixture of humility
and honor, fear and delight every time I walk into a class on the first day and take my place at
the instructor’s station.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m so
grateful to be standing there. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But do you
know what’s my favorite part?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s the clothes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Honestly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
don’t<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>think the childhood delight of
dress up really stops for girls as they age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It just becomes more sophisticated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>College teaching doesn’t require me to be on my feet all day, so I get
to wear things that I normally can’t away with like boots and sandals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so fun to go shopping the first time
and tell the attendant at Maurices that I was buying clothes <i>to be a college
professor!</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I watched all of Season 10 of TLC’s <i>What Not to Wear</i> and
took notes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stacy and Clinton would be
proud.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Did you know that fuschia goes
with mustard because of their positions on the color wheel?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Did you know that you can mix prints together
as long as they are in the same color pallet? Do you know the four elements of
a complete outfit: color, pattern, texture, shine? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One day on campus, a Caribou Coffee barista handed me my
drink and she said, “You look <i>good</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
really like your outfit.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I smiled and
said, “Thank you!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i>I am trying!</i>”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And there was last summer, when I opened the garage door,
headed for work, when my next door neighbor saw my outfit, and just about
died.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ahh!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She gasped,
covering her mouth in shock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> "</span>Jenny!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You look <i>so pretty!"</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t wake up happy every morning. Sometimes holding a
positive attitude seems less than authentic. Melancholy feels about
normal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But joy that oozes out of me has
caught my attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> It is a rare and beautiful thing. </span>It has made others
stop and notice and it has made me stop and reflect too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ponder with me….<o:p></o:p></div>

What do you delight in, so much so, that you invest your

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where have you seen
joy ooze out of your being to be noticed by others?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

If it’s been awhile, what do you need to return to that

“Our church is celebrating Lent!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I said happily to my Catholic friends one
Friday afternoon in March.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We talked
about beliefs for a while; they had been rooted in the traditions of Ash
Wednesday and going without an indulgence for 40 days; I was just sprouting in
my understanding, eager to know more. As the conversation came to a close, I
was asked casually, “So, what are you doing tonight?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Suddenly I was
embarrassed to let the words come out of my mouth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here I was, fascinated that my church traditions
were reflecting, at least a glimmer, of those around me, but my response was
about to reveal I had so much to learn...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m going to a steakhouse tonight.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My friends were gracious in their response; giving up meat
was not a part of my church tradition, but as I sat at dinner wolfing down tangy ribs with sides of cornbread, green beans, and sweet tea, I wondered
about this practice of giving up meat on Fridays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had seen signs around town for fish fries
and Lenten soup meals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As much as I love
eating, I’d never visited such a gathering until one day I was unexpectedly
invited to a fish fry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sunnies and crappies were battered in Shore Lunch and cooked
in a deep fryer, then served up on paper plates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The food was so good that I almost started
crying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It reminded me not of where I
was, but I where I wanted to be: the lake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I looked outside the window that March day to see grass and pavement,
but I closed my eyes and tried to envision a heron flying across the expanse
and a boat coming in from fishing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
thought about kayaks and hammocks and ice cream at the Chocolate Ox.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tried to hear the birds singing, the breeze
blowing, and my little nieces and nephew dancing around me, wanting to play a
game.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then, by some act of grace, I was taken to John 21.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s hard to believe that eating a filet on a
paper plate, smothered with store bought tartar sauce while standing near a
deep fryer can be a spiritual experience, but it was!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I looked around the room and realized this
was bigger than longing for the lake; this practice of eating fish brought
people together to share a meal who were normally apart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were huddled around in a circle looking at
each other face to face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It seems like John could have wrapped up his gospel at the end of chapter 20.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had witnessed Jesus performing
miracles: seeing dead people raised to life, water turned into wine, and the
feeding of thousands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>John goes on to
tell just one more story. Maybe John had a feeling of nostalgia as he penned
his last chapter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps he missed the
small things of being with Jesus--like the sound of his gait as he walked, the
way he whistled, or his inviting smile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I like to imagine that John wanted to conclude his writing in 20
chapters, but this last interaction was so poignant, so personal, that his book
demanded an afterword.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The disciples were going about the routine work of fishing,
when suddenly they realize their friend is on shore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Peter gets so excited that he jumps into the
water and swims to meet him, not waiting for the boat to come in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fire had been started, the bread was
baking, and the fish were about to fry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I wish I could have been on the beach that day, savoring fish
together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m sure it tasted like hope, rest, and joy—like memories of the lake on a cold March day. <o:p></o:p></div>

<i>“Have you ever considered writing about this stuff?”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>I looked at her and smiled, thinking about the hours I had
already spent writing about disability.<o:p></o:p></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“I think you have something to say.”</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I wrote <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Tension-Jennifer-Christine-Hill/dp/1492913286" target="_blank">Walking With Tension</a>, one of the things I
wanted to illustrate was the journey of grief I had walked down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even as I moved through each stage, no one
ever said to me out loud, “You are grieving.” I only knew what I had learned about grief from Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’ <i>On Death and Dying</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a nurse, she was approached by seminarians
who wanted to understand the process of grief and death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They interviewed people who were dying of
terminal diseases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The book was so heavy
and sorrowful that I couldn’t bring myself to finish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I turned enough pages, however, to learn that
these interviews were how the five stages of grief were discovered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I met people on the pages of this book who
were asking the same questions I was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
both had lifetime diagnoses, there was no cure for any of us; the only
difference is that they would have to die from their disease and I would have
to live with my disability.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I thought, even after reading <i>On Death and Dying</i>, that Grief
was a short-term relationship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grief was
filling in on an interim basis just to help me move forward in life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grief helped me see that I wasn’t lingering
over something I once possessed and then lost, but rather, I was ruminating on
the loss of potential, things that will never be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Small things like high heels and two-wheel
bikes, and big things, like second dates, and babies.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I still didn’t realize this journey I was on until I had
arrived at acceptance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like the Road to
Emmaus, I didn’t recognize who my teacher was until she had disappeared.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grief had held my hand, leading the way out
from the shelter of denial that no longer seemed to protect me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She sat with me while I cried, gave me energy
to be angry, and kept score during the mental game of ping-pong called
bargaining.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once we got to acceptance,
Grief carried me over the welcome mat and across the threshold into a house of
wholeness and peace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s where we
parted ways. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Until she came knocking on the door.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At first, I wanted to yell, “Go away!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve already dealt with you!,” slamming the door in her face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, I’ve discovered,
she continues to knock on the door anyway, and I am slowly learning how to
invite her in for a cup of coffee, because Grief has a few things to say:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Grief is unexpected</i>, like an unwelcome house guest who
arrives just as you were about to start your day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You had other things planned, but now they
will have to go on hold because Grief has arrived and needs tending to.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Grief wears different hats</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sometimes she appears like sadness and depression, like a big thick
cloud that will never go away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes
she looks like anger brooding under the skin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sometimes she is a bargaining auctioneer, ready to make a deal, hoping
that some small exchange will result in a solution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grief is hard to recognize so it’s wise to
memorize her wardrobe.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Grief does not show up to tear down the house of wholeness
you have already built, but she does come to stretch out on the couch of
ambivalence</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes Grief can be an
expanding experience where you discover the mysterious ability to be joyful in
your sadness, thankful in your anger, and content in your bargaining.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You develop a larger capacity to hold
contradiction than you had before.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Grief neither takes over your life nor disappears
completely</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes Grief moves into
the spare bedroom temporarily and you swear she will never depart, but she does
leave eventually only to return again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>It’s okay to say Grief’s name aloud</i>, and it’s even okay to
talk about her with other people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To
grieve is to be human, and sometimes we need others to walk with us when Grief
is back in town.<o:p></o:p></div>

I think one of my favorite human experiences is when I am
hugged.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is a delightful splash of oxytocin that floods the
system when eyes light up, arms open, and two bodies are pulled into an
embrace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hearts up against one another,
you breathe deeply, and remember you are safe and free to be yourself because
you are wrapped up in the reality that you are loved and among friends; y<span style="font-size: 12pt;">ou are home.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why does this desire run so deep? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a host of
<a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-5756/10-Reasons-Why-We-Need-at-Least-8-Hugs-a-Day.html" target="_blank">cited reasons</a> for hugging: decreased feelings of isolation and depression,
increased self-esteem and sense of security, strengthening the bonds of a
relationship, and increased immune system.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Could it run deeper still?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
John describes Jesus as someone from “the bosom [kolpos] of
the Father.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Bosom” in Greek is the
word “kolpos,” the space in the chest between the arms--it’s the anatomy we use
to hug each other.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Can you imagine this with me?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God the Father, embracing Jesus, holding his head tightly
against his chest and whispering, “You’re my Son.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m so pleased with you. I love you so
much.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus in that moment, never more
fully Himself, never more fully connected to the ones He loves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The embrace of the Trinity is a picture of
how God can be one person, yet very much three.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
John himself wanted to have that kind of experience with
Jesus.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have always thought that if the apostle John were to read
Gary Chapman’s <i>The Five Love Languages</i>, he’d learn that his love language was
touch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other disciples likely became
annoyed with him from time to time because I am sure he was a hugger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At least six times he names himself in his
gospel as the disciple Jesus loved, but it seems to me that can be traced to
the last supper when John finds himself next to Jesus, head resting on his
chest (here’s that word again, <i>kolpos</i>), hearing his heartbeat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can you imagine the tenderness of that
moment: breathing in and out, resting on the chest of Jesus?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No wonder he couldn’t stop talking about it!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This kind of love helped John to embrace others.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week I found myself hugging a friend who had lost
someone, and I felt like I could hold my friend close because others have held
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you Google “The Embrace of
Jesus,” you will find lots of pictures of Jesus hugging, but scroll a little
further and you will find a man with his arms outstretched on a cross, a
setting where John once again learned to embrace:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's
sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Jesus saw his mother there, and the
disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, "Woman, here is
your son,"and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that
time on, this disciple took her into his home.</i><o:p></o:p></div>

<i>Dear Reader,<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>I’ve been struggling lately with what it means to have a
lifetime disability, and have found myself pondering the events of John 5, so
grateful that the Bible includes stories of people like me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe Jesus’ offer of wholeness is one
that is extended to all of us. This post is told from the man’s perspective who
was healed at the Pool of Bethesda. I also included a note at the end about a
new book I recently read called <u>Whole</u> by my friend Steve Wiens.</i><o:p></o:p></div>

What’s it like being disabled for 38 years?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It feels different at 38 than it did at 28 and so much
longer and dismal than when I was young.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s one thing to <i>know</i> there is no cure, it’s another thing to <i>feel</i> it.
Increased fatigue, limited function, chronic pain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Time itself seems weighty like compounding
interest on a large debt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At first the
burden seems bearable, but over time you become consumed and broken.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Day after day, like earning pennies on the
dollar, you believe with increasing amounts that your life is very hard and
things will never change.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Self-pity is a pool you splash in and you never want to get
out of that pool, even when your lips start to turn purple, even when your
family and friends are standing there with a towel, ready to embrace you the
moment you chose something different.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Change is hard because wallowing distorts your point
view.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You forget that you live at
Bethesda, the House of Mercy, and that the five porches around the pool are supposed to remind you of the five books that comprise the Torah; those details just fade into
the background as your eyes become green with envy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Envious of the people who make it into the Pool of Bethesda
before you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The water is spring-fed and
every so often an angel comes and stirs the water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whoever makes it in first, gets healed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve sat here and watched year after year,
while <i>someone else</i> gets healed, <i>someone else</i> gets blessed, <i>someone else</i> goes on
to find the pleasure of a relationship, a body restored, a life filled again
with joy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s why when people talk to me, my only response is
complaint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i>There is no one here to get
me into the pool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Someone else always
gets there before me.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then one day, Jesus shows up and asks me one question:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you want to be made whole?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I muttered to Him my standard response before even
thinking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i>There is no one here to get me
into the pool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Someone else always gets
there before...me.</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My sentence faded out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Jesus looked at me and I began to fathom the depths of his question.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Did I want to be made whole?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jesus was asking me if I wanted to flourish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Did I want my soul to become like the mist
that sprang up from the earth to water the ground at the dawn of creation?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Did I want to discover the well of water
within me that could spring up to everlasting life?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Could I really believe the ancient words of Isaiah were for
me too: The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a
sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a
well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What Jesus was offering me was so much more than healing
from the waters in the pool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was
inviting me into a new way of life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One
that set me free from self-pity and envy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Jesus was giving me access to the power I needed to stop wishing I had
someone else’s life and start living my own.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s why, when Jesus told me to get up and walk, I found
the strength to stand on my own two feet and take the next steps forward in my
life--a life that was becoming whole.<o:p></o:p></div>

I recently finished reading an advanced copy my friend
Steve Wiens’ new book <i>Whole:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Restoring
What is Broken in Me, You, and the Entire World</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Steve has a beautiful way of illustrating
scripture, both through his own creativity, but also through clear teaching of
the Bible and its original language. Steve is a unique teacher who can bend
down and scoop up the dirt of life, feel it’s gritty quality, acknowledging the
pain that we all face is very real.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But,
somewhere in that sifting process, he also sees hope, and helps readers see it
as well. His book is about discovering where you may be at on your own journey
towards wholeness, and what questions may be helpful to ask along the way.<o:p></o:p></div>

You can read the post here: <a href="http://www.theruthexperience.com/2016/04/what-does-it-mean-to-be-woman-guest-post.html">http://www.theruthexperience.com/2016/04/what-does-it-mean-to-be-woman-guest-post.html</a><br />
<br />
The gals who author the site have written a book called <i>Grace for the Misfits</i> and will give one copy away to the first person who e-mails me at <a href="mailto:walkingwithtension@gmail.com">walkingwithtension@gmail.com</a>. You can read more about their <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Grace-Misfits-Pursuing-Unconventional-Favor/dp/1545236968" target="_blank">31 day devotional on Amazon</a>.<br />
<br />
I hope you find this post a reflective experience.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I adamantly disagreed with the conversation I unwittingly
had become entrenched in. Struggling to know what to do, I glanced around the
room, looking for a way out before my face gave away my internal emotions. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Part of me wanted to speak up, but I also knew anger was
welling inside of me, and I was sure that what would come out of my mouth would
not be very kind. Instead, I got up from the table and left the room.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I went outside to watch my kids play. Still feeling upset
about what was being discussed, I wondered if I’d done the right thing by just
leaving the conversation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Later on that evening I told my husband what had happened.
As I explained my non-response, I told him, “You know, I’ve certainly regretted
things I’ve said in anger, but I have never regretted keeping my mouth shut.
Not once.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As several days have now passed, I have not been able to
stop thinking about how good it feels to know that I kept my mouth shut when I
wanted to say something (potentially) hurtful. How, sometimes, choosing to keep
my relationships intact is more important than sharing my opinions or even
being right. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This doesn’t mean there haven’t been times I’ve needed to go
back and have discussions with people about conversations I’ve quietly left.
I’m certainly not an advocate for avoiding issues that need to be brought up or
hashed out, but I’m learning that speaking in anger often accomplishes little more
than hurt feelings and resentment. At least, for me it does. Usually I just end
up saying things I later regret and then have to go back and apologize anyway.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being a peacemaker often means watching my tongue, caring
for another person's heart and well-being more than my ability to be free to
say whatever I want. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My mouth is a powerful tool, and I choose if I’ll use it for
good or bad. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Blessed are the peacemakers,<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>for they will be
called children of God. Matthew 5:9<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m learning that Jesus's words are compelling and not to be
taken lightly. He said that peacemakers would be called children of God, and
that is what I want to be called. More than anything else. More than I want to
be able to share my opinions. More than lashing out in anger. More than even
getting my own way. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This way of Jesus may garner friction when it's at odds with
what my flesh desires, but it’s the quiet calm my spirit knows and rests in
that draws me more to Christ and his way. It's that calm that reminds me: This
is right--this watching my words, speaking peacefully and not harshly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes the easiest way to keep the peace is just to keep
my mouth shut. <o:p></o:p></div>

Worst. Semester. Ever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I signed up for a course called <i>Christian Living</i>, and was
hoping to get a good professor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’d
heard great things about Professor Joy, “One of the most pleasant people to be
around,” they said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Professor Grace also
had a good rep, “He gives his students all kinds of things that they don’t even
<i>deserve</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unbelievable.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had high hopes as I sat in the desk on the first day of
class, taping my fingers, waiting for my mysterious professor to arrive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In she walked, uncomfortably late, wearing
black shiny heels that would have made me scream for a podiatrist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She wore a spiky choke collar necklace to
accent her scarlet dress.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“My name is Professor Pain,” she explained, “I’ll be
teaching your course this semester.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh no.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Groans
erupted from around the room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“You’ve
got to be kidding me.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students shifted
in their seats nervously and some of them got up and walked out the door.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her syllabus seemed reasonable enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were a few books to read including <i>The
Problem of Pain</i>, along with other texts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mainly though, we were just supposed to keep a journal as we lived our
lives, paying attention to where we felt pain and where we felt the presence of
God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Time passed quickly as time does and suddenly I found myself
alone in her office during finals week giving my oral exam.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sat across from each other on hard wooden
chairs, her eyes locked onto mine.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“So,” she said, leaning into me, “What did you learn?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I leaned back in my chair, wanting to choose my words
carefully before I spoke.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I reflected on
all the times I had fallen: backwards, forwards, in public, at home, needing
ice, and x-rays, and compassion. I had lifted my body up each time after I had
stumbled while my soul remained defeated on the ground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I thought about the morning I woke up to discover I could
hardly take another step because it felt like something was stabbing me in the
heel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I thought about the pain of
fatigue, and loneliness, and disappointment, while I sat on my couch, pondering
singleness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I thought about how much I wanted to get out of pain
whenever I was in it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I leaned forward, stared
Professor Pain in the face and said,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You are relentless.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pain cocked her head back in a laugh. “Tell me more,” she
said with a smile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No, seriously,” I said, suddenly at ease, “You’re worse
than Facebook notifications and texting combined.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What can I say?” she replied, throwing up her hands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I want more than office hours and email
exchanges…. I prefer to walk with my students while they learn.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She paused just then, leaning even deeper into me with a
penetrating gaze, “I didn’t ask if you liked me as an instructor, most students
don’t. I want to know what you learned in <i>Christian Living</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What did you learn about God?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The words of C.S. Lewis fell from my lips: "We can ignore
even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in
our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his
megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The room fell silent.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I really want to be held by God.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I began to speak, tears filled my eyes and
my voice began to quake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I want to be
close to Him, and of course, I want to be away from pain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It hurts.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Professor Pain nodded her head knowingly, urging me forward.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Those mornings when I was in pain, that’s when I really
cried out to God, that’s when I found it in my heart to confess, <i>I really need
you</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> I felt close to God. I felt His comfort. </span>It was in the most painful moments
where I realized that when I walk with pain, God is walking with me too--<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
--every step.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<i>“My sister has
multiple scoliosis,” she confided in me.
“This year she transitioned to using a scooter. My family has had different reactions. My mom is taking a class on miraculous
healing; my dad is trying to get everyone to accept it. I don’t know what to think. I finally just asked my sister, “How do you
want me to pray for you?”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The healing question.
It’s a BIG one. I’ve found myself
on the listening end of conversations like these lately, and it’s usually at
this point that I ask people if I can <i>give
them</i> a copy of <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Walking-With-Tension-Jennifer-Christine/dp/1492913286">Walking
with Tension</a>. </i>I’ve wrestled with
the same questions myself, and while I haven’t come up with an answer, my hope
is that my story is a companion to them on their own journey of faith.</div>
<br /><div class="MsoNormal">
I cannot offer an explanation of why some people are healed
and not others. Although, I did ask my
friend and pastor Steve Wiens about it and I highly respect <a href="http://www.stevewiens.com/2015/03/17/questions-part-3-getting-sick-and-getting-healed">the
answer he provided on his blog</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Looking back on my own journey, I do, however, want to offer
this. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Like it or not, your
situation is forming you.</i> Most days,
I don’t really think too hard about the fact that I have CP, but some days it
is not ignorable. It makes me tired,
dictates the clothes I wear, and on occasion causes people to stare. At times, I have felt defeated by fatigue, unpleasant
in the face of my wardrobe options, and evaluated by piercing glances. I do, however, agree with Charles Swindoll,
“Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it.” When I take the time to slow down, reflect,
pray, write, drinking deeply of my life experiences, I’m learning that more is
being formed in me than frustration, ugliness, and pain. My fatigue is teaching me how to value rest,
my wardrobe limitations have ignited more creativity in my sense of style, and
being stared at has light a fire in me to ensure I see others well. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>It’s really okay to
wrestle with God.</i> I didn’t think so
at first. He is God after all,
right? Shouldn’t I be at least as polite
and controlled with Him as I am with a stranger? And then, I read this fabulous quote by
Phillip Yancey, someone who watched his father die from polio because he
thought it was a greater act of faith to pray for healing than use an iron
lung. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;">"One bold message in the book of Job is that you can say
anything to God. Throw at him your grief, your anger, your doubt, your
bitterness, your betrayal, your disappointment--he can absorb them all. As
often as not, spiritual giants of the Bible are shown contending with God. They
prefer to go away limping, like Jacob, rather than to shut God out."<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;">What has helped me is to
Google a picture of Jacob wrestling the angel.
There are many different artistic renditions, but after a while, you
have to ask, “Are they wrestling or hugging?”
At least when you wrestle with God you are being held in his
embrace. You are face to face. The lines of communication are wide
open. He is our high priest who understands,
come boldly before Him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

them all. So we fix our eyes

but what is unseen is eternal.<br />

I<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">n February, I had a chance to speak at the Minnesota Elementary School Principal's Association (MESPA) about my dissertation research concerning principals and their use of social media. My challenge was to memorize everything and present it in a 5 minute engaging presentation, inspired by TED talks. My adrenaline was pumping, but I LOVE speaking so much! I know dissertation research sounds boring, but I promise I got the whole room laughing. If you have 5 minutes, I'd love for you to geek out and watch my talk.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wake up in darkness. Many mornings I turn and glance at the green
digital numbers of my alarm clock: 4AM; an hour and half earlier than my eyes
need to be open and my brain alert. I lay
there in silence; my soul is full of tumult, my mouth unable to speak. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How do we live, how do we pray, when we are experiencing
constipation of the soul? I like when
the words flow smoothly like water from the kitchen faucet, even when they
trickle down in a slow steady patter. I
enjoy words that come out with laughter, and I love when they burst forth in
song. Words through tears are painful,
but sometimes it is our sorrow that ultimately unearths our depths. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Having no words, but desperately wanting them. That’s a different experience entirely. I’m no expert on this situation, but here’s
what I’m learning in this season of life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>It’s okay to have no
words.</i> Not having words to
adequately express yourself may be as much a part of the human experience as
the ability to speak. It’s in these
moments that I take comfort in the words of Romans 8:26: <i>In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know
what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through
wordless groans.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>It’s okay to have just
one word</i>. I challenged myself this
week with this question: What if I just
brought one word to God? I wrapped
myself in my blanket, sat in my chair, faced the window, lit a candle, and
simply said, “<i>Stuck. </i>God, I am <i>stuck.</i>” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>It’s okay to go to
friends and family and ask them to use their words on your behalf. </i>This is a season where I have openly
asked friends and family to pray for me.
There’s this beautiful story in Exodus 17 where the Israelites were
winning a battle against their enemies as long as Moses held up his hands. But, as the war raged on, Moses’ hands grew
tired. So, <i>Aaron and Hur held his hands up--one on one side, one on the other--so
that his hands remained steady till sunset (vs 13).</i> Sometimes we are facing a battle that can’t
be won until our friends come alongside us with support.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>It’s okay to pray
words that someone else wrote. </i>Often
in the dark hours of the morning, scripture I’ve memorized comes to mind and I
pray them as if they were mine. When my
soul if full of tumult, I find myself asking the words of Psalm 51: <i>Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew
a right spirit within me</i>….I also think Ted Loder’s words in his book <a href="http://www.spiritualityandpractice.com/book-reviews/view/9654/guerrillas-of-grace">Guerrillas
of Grace: Prayers for the Battle</a> are beautiful.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>It’s okay to express
your words in song and pictures. </i>One
of the most tangible ways I’ve found to pray is to close my eyes during worship
at church and picture the scenes that are swirling in my soul. Sometimes I picture God hugging me in the
midst of my need, but mostly I just hold scenes of my life in my mind before
God acknowledging that He is at work.
When my eyes aren’t closed and focused, I also like to open my mouth and
belt out songs with all of my breath.
There’s something emboldening about joining other voices in expressing
what is true. I love what Psalm 45:1
says, <i>My heart is stirred by a noble
theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful
writer.</i><o:p></o:p></div>

It was just before Thanksgiving when I found myself sitting in the second row at a funeral. A good friend of mine lost her brother to cystic fibrosis. He lived to be 40, which is outstanding for someone living with CF, but still too young to die. I watched as my friend laid her head on her husband’s shoulder, crying, and in turn, opening her arms wide to comfort nieces and nephews. The morning was filled with the hope of heaven and the reality of earth. </div>

I sat there thinking about how this man never married or had children. Being born with disability or disease often leaves very loving people with naked ring fingers and empty wombs. It’s sad. Sometimes it makes a person feel like they are sitting behind glass watching everyone live their happy lives while you sit in the stands choking back tears, faking a smile as you wave to everyone else skating by. It was haunting for me to identify with the man lying in the coffin. I sat there at the funeral wondering if 50 years down the road that would be me.</div>

It took me a few weeks and a few more heavy moments, but eventually, I lay down on my floor and sobbed. Not the kind where tears gently fall down your face and land on your lips, but the kind where your whole body heaves. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">

Who is Jesus in these moments?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">

Sometimes it’s easier to believe Jesus really only came to earth for his final hours, and in our lives, the thing he must care about the most is the salvation of our souls.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">

Truly, the redemption of humankind and our salvation from sin and death are paramount. But it doesn’t negate the fact that Jesus also cares about the mundane: our earthly disappointment, our day to day pain.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">

As kids we see images of Jesus surrounded by children, smiling as he rides on a donkey. As adults we ponder Jesus, who, for the <i>joy</i> set before him endured the cross… Certainly, there had to be many moments where Jesus was giddy, bubbling with joy as he worked to bring healing and redemption to the world. Performing miracles was like pulling the curtain back giving the world a glimpse of heaven as if turning over the pages in a photo book revealing visions of home. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">

So I find it interesting that “happy” is not how Jesus is heralded or remembered in scripture. Isaiah foretells Jesus as a Man of Sorrows, well acquainted with grief. Can you imagine it? It’s as if Jesus was sitting down conversing with Grief, as if they were two old men, swapping stories, nodding their heads, often just sitting together in silence, acknowledging the weight of pain.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">

In Hebrews, the author writes that <i>while Jesus was on earth, he made petitions to God with loud cries and tears. </i>Even before Gethsemane, I wonder if Jesus often had wet eyes to show the Father when he went off to pray. Being that close to humanity had to wonderful, but it also had to be hard because sometimes beauty and suffering exists in the same face.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">

I imagine Jesus off in the corner, heaving and crying loud. The disciples looking at each other, shrugging their shoulders and whispering, “He’s doing it again…”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">

“We’d better leave Him alone.”</div>

With the end of the Advent season, it might be helpful to wonder what it was like for Jesus the first time he stretched out his hand and clenched his fist; feeling the limitation and the strength of tendons and ligaments and skin and bone working together in a human body.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">

It might be helpful to ponder what it like was for Jesus to change his perspective. No longer looking down on us from above, but staring back into the face of humanity, the creation, seeing us through his own two eyes…. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">

What was it like to leave the vastness, comfort, and eternity of heaven to be confined, hurt, and limited? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 21.56px;">

All of these things point towards the fact that Jesus knew what it was to become human and dwell with us. It reminds us that he is with us in our humanity even now. </div>

is the concept of knowing where your body is in space (body awareness) and the
ability to safely maneuver around your environment. It also includes the use of
heavy work activities and the ability to stimulate the joint receptors.” (Source: Amanda, Matthews, OTR/L </span><a href="http://nspt4kids.com/parenting/what-is-proprioception-and-why-is-it-important/"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">http://nspt4kids.com/parenting/what-is-proprioception-and-why-is-it-important/</span></a><span style="background: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A
colleague introduced me to this concept last week and I was captivated by
it. Words can be restrictive containers
sometimes; a poor limited method to express what is welling up deep within the
soul, but sometimes they can be absolutely explosive, illuminating what we have
been experiencing, but unable to name. Here was this word that I had never
heard before: <i>proprioception</i>, five
syllables describing a fascinating function of our bodies that I never knew
existed. Sometimes proprioception in
children with autism or other conditions have a hard time sensing the world
around them, so they exhibit behaviors like hitting the wall or the ground
repeatedly. A parent can be helpful by
offering a hug, or placing their hands on their child’s shoulders so they are reminded
that the ground is beneath their feet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I fell
in love with this word as it came up in conversation, because it seemed like a
great metaphor for life. Lately I’ve
felt like I’ve been losing my grounding.
What once used to feel safe, secure, solid, and familiar seems to be
shifting and moving in ways I didn’t expect or understand. I’m not sure how to clearly navigate my
environment right now. I’m finding
myself afraid and confused. I’ve
questioned my judgement, my motives, and my decisions. In the end, I want to exercise until I’m
tired, and I dream about endless hugs. I
wonder if I too, would like to cuddle up under a weighted blanket.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I’ve
told trusted friends and family about my “proprioception,” and they’ve
listened, tried to give advice, hugged, and prayed. I’ve been praying too: In the morning, in the
afternoon, before bed, and lately around 2:00AM. My mind has been flooded with comforting
scriptures, and I realize He is with me always.
This is going to last as long as it lasts, but until then, I must keep
moving forward.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

been something else that’s become an unexpected comfort. Not a fix, but a little ray of light creaking
through the door into a dark room: the
words of C.S. Lewis. I’ve been a Narnia
fan since before I was able to read. When I was a preschooler, PBS aired the BBC’s
Chronicles of Narnia which Grandma let my brother and I watch one evening in
the den when we were sleeping over. It
sparked my imagination and filled my heart with wonder…the Lion has meant much
to me over the years. This is probably
why I get choked up when a child asks me if we have <i>Narnia</i> in the library. I am
convinced the wardrobe doors are open to all who seek to enter, and I can
almost hear the pages call out in cheerful invitation to every reader, “Come
further up! Come further in!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

girlfriends and I have decided to dive into the deep intellectual pool of C.S.
Lewis’ <i>Mere Christianity </i>this month<i>. </i>I’ve
been hearing good things about this book since I gave a copy of it to my
seventh grade English teacher in 1997, but I’ve been afraid to read it myself for fear that I wouldn’t
understand it, that Lewis’ words to adults weren’t for me. In truth, I don’t understand all of his
thoughts, but I have been reminded with childhood delight what a friend his
words have been to me. I will conclude
this post with ten great quotes I found from </span><a href="https://twitter.com/CSLewisDaily"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">@CSLewisDaily</span></a><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"> on Twitter…so beautiful and so good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There is an
intriguing little story tucked into the middle of C. S. Lewis’ <i>Voyage of the Dawn Treader.</i> Lucy finds herself in the upstairs room of an
old magician’s house, pouring over an ancient book of spells. Within its pages, she is drawn so deeply into
beautiful pictures of herself, that she becomes captivated in her own vanity. Lucy turns the dusty pages of the book
further and discovers the opportunity to listen to her friend’s opinions of herself. The conversation is so vivid Lucy has a hard
time remembering what is actually real.
Her heart is so overwhelmed with disappointment that it spills out in a
tear trickling down the page, before Aslan the Lion appears with a gentle growl
and the urging to stop eavesdropping. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I heard the
gentle roar of the Lion New Year’s Eve, while driving in my car to a friend’s
house. I was sitting at a stoplight,
when I asked myself a simple question, “What is most troubling my soul?” I’d love to tell you that I was deeply
burdened over the tragedies of our current events, concerned about matters of
social justice, or simply wanting to love my neighbor. I had been carrying around an ache in my soul
for about a month, like a meal eagerly consumed in haste, now sitting like a
rock in my stomach.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The ugly
truth: I was consumed by how many people
had not responded to my recent Facebook post.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I have a
bachelor’s and master’s degree in Information Media. I recently finished writing my doctoral
dissertation about social media use. My
Facebook friends helped me complete my 18 weeks of training for a 5k, helped
raise money for clean drinking water in Africa, and have been an audience of
readers for my blog. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I had
stopped looking through my newsfeed, unable to take in one more picture of
another person’s success without feeling like I was losing at life. I had deemed Facebook, <i>The Daily Disappointment,</i> chronically discouraged that my pictures
of shoes, clothes, and daily antidotes received so much attention while the
posts about things I care so deeply about were continually ignored. My mind was such a buzz, wondering what
clever thing I should say next to gain more attention, having to resist the
urge to constantly check my phone to see if my thoughts were validated with
enough “likes.” I found myself in a continual
state of distracted thinking. I missed
the pleasures of deep thought, and wondered if I could actually read a whole
book or if my attention span had been severely amputated to Twitter’s 140
character limits.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">How many
times had I snuck my phone off with me to the bathroom just so I could continue
to check it? I was addicted. I was reaching for human connection and
significance, both good things, but I was struggling to find them in a stream
of pictures and texts. I was attempting
to medicate my loneliness by inhailing a fog of social media haze.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So, about a
week ago, I deactivated my personal Facebook account. Call it a New Year’s Resolution, if you will,
I just wanted my soul back. I hope it reduces the amount of noise I have in my
life and increases my focus, inspires me to search for significance in the
right places, and propels me to interact with more people face to face. I hoping to see in 2016 that Lewis’ words
prove true, “Aslan's instructions always work; there are no exceptions.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i>Last week I told you about my friend <a href="http://jwalkinguphill.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-story-behind-book.html" target="_blank">Steve Wiens</a> and his new book, Beginnings.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Beginnings, by Steve Wiens</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
I suppose it might be considered a cliché to say that my first book discovered <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">me</em>; that it fluttered down to me in a bright burst of color and flame, beckoning and irresistible. But it did.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
It came to me as a question, but one with a smirk and a wink. It was a delicious question, the kind that invites you to leave Bag End with only a walking stick and a stomach hungry for adventure.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
I was stuck, but I was only beginning to realize it, and it was a sickening kind of feeling when I finally did. My life seemed to be drifting away from me, like someone was using a pair of bellows all wrong, extracting breath from me instead of adding it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
The question thundered around me, accompanied by random flashes of lightning, and I was dazzled enough to turn aside to see what it was before it rolled by.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">What if the creative act of God described so richly in the Genesis poem was not simply an event in time, but a process that is reflected in all beginnings that follow?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
What if new beginnings were lurking around every corner, inside every whisper, and even stitched into every ending? What if they hovered above us, and filled in the fault lines beneath us? What if being stuck wasn’t the inevitable destination?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
What if the world, right here and now, is crying out once again, and what if the God who hears is responding, and sending, and moving, and acting?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
So I wrote and wrote and wrote, and with three boys under the age of six, it was mostly done by magic tricks and stopping time. The more I wrote, the more I believed. It came in torrents, flooding me, until it didn’t. Then it trickled in: a paragraph, a sentence, a word. But it came all the way out, and I’m about to let it go into the world.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Beginnings</em> is my manifesto of hope, that the creative activity of God is not finished, not even close. <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Beginnings</em> is my defiant shout that even when we are lost in the inky blackness, there can emerge out of that swampland something glorious, something eternal, something covered in the goodness of God.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
What follows are the first words I used to translate the fluttering reality in which I now am grounded. I hope it leaves you hungry for more.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">“THE ACHE HAD </span>probably been creeping up on me, but I didn’t notice it until that night, sitting on the deck behind my sub- urban house looking out onto my suburban life. Isaac was two, and the twins were six months old. I was a pastor at a large church, I had been married for fourteen years, and my twenty-year high school reunion had come and gone.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
I didn’t go to that reunion. I didn’t have the energy for the awkwardness, the sizing up, and the plastic cups of stale beer to chase down our stale memories.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
But the ache that had been whispering through my body rattled to a clumsy stop on that night, in those suburbs, on that deck.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
I had been looking at pictures of my friends who went to the reunion: my old girlfriend, the guys I used to go all night skiing with on those blisteringly cold nights in Minnesota, my soccer team. And I remembered all the beginnings.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
I remembered moving from Southern California to Belgium the summer before seventh grade. I remembered the sour, un-American body odor of the team of men who moved our old furniture into our new house. That smell was the baptism of our new life in Europe.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
I remembered my friend Colin who lived across the street in a two-story white brick house in Waterloo with black shutters, like they all were. I remembered the in-ground trampoline in his back yard, on which we spent hours and hours, jumping our way into adolescence. I remembered his mother’s unbearably loud voice, as it boomed around their house like a grenade and made us run for cover.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
I remembered falling treacherously in love with Tammi the moment I saw her, coming down those stairs in the fall of my ninth grade year. She liked me back, and then she didn’t like me. I was devastated. That’s when I started listening to the Cure and Depeche Mode, bands who were created for teenagers like me who don’t know how to express the frightening chaos brewing beneath our skin, bubbling and boiling.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
I remembered Mr. Tobin, my tenth grade English teacher. Every student should have a Mr. Tobin. He got to know each of us and selected books based on what he thought we’d like. The first book he gave me was <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Trinity</em>, by Leon Uris. I remember staying up late into the night reading about Conor Larkin, the main character, who was everything I wanted to be but feared I wasn’t: brave and passionate and rough edged. Almost thirty years have passed since I met Mr. Tobin, and I credit my deep love for reading to his deep love for teaching.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
I remembered kissing Angie under a starry summer night on that dock that jutted out into Lake Como, the thrill of that moment reflecting off the lake and making everything luminous that summer before our senior year. I can still see the picture of us at the homecoming game: she was beautiful, holding my hand under the dark October sky. I had a ridiculous acid-washed denim jacket on, with only the bottom button fastened in the chilly air. There was a grin on my face and my eyes were sparkling. I was seventeen.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
I remembered driving around in Matt’s Bronco for hours, finishing off the beer that Carl’s older brother bought us. We must have burned hundreds of gallons of gas on those cold winter nights; we were irresponsible, irrepressible and immortal.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
I remembered deciding to go to college in a sleepy little town in southern Minnesota, instead of up north, where most of my closest friends from high school had chosen to go. I remembered trying to explain it to them, in the awkward way that high school guys do. I don’t remember much of that summer before college. I only remember the familiar sensation that comes with every new beginning: the thrill of reinventing yourself running parallel with the fear of the unknown—the twin tracks that lead to everything else.</div>

But on that night, on that deck, in those suburbs, the continual forward movement seemed to have stopped. The tracks had run out. I used to be in motion, rattling forward toward a destination that kept morphing. But on that stationary deck, I had become solid and stable, and stuck.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
There would be no new beginnings.</div>

My life should have felt full and rich, but instead it felt empty and dark. There was only the slow work of playing out the reality of the decisions that had already come and gone. I was a pastor. I was a father. I was a husband. I didn’t regret any of those things. I loved my kids and my wife and my job. But the finality of it all was a relentless crashing—wave after wave, under those stars, in those suburbs, on that night. It felt vacant, like staring into nothingness.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
It was empty and full at the same time. Empty of beginnings, full of endings.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
As I sat there motionless with the emptiness closing in around me, there was something else hovering above me in the darkness, but I couldn’t see it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 29.25px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
If I could have seen it, it would have looked like a beginning.”</div>

<i>I think, behind most
good books, lays the story of an enduring friendship. This post is about my friend and pastor </i><a href="http://www.stevewiens.com/"><i>Steve
Wiens</i></a><i>, who has cheered me and my
writing on since we became friends in 2009.
Steve wrote the foreword to my book and has since written his own called
</i><a href="http://www.stevewiens.com/beginningsbook/">Beginnings</a><i> which will come out this Friday. He will guest post next week so you can read
more, but this week, I hope you enjoy the story below.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ll write it out for you!”
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I stopped and looked wide-eyed at Steve, wondering where
those words had come from that had just spilled out of my mouth. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was a Wednesday night and the lobby at church was
swarming with people. I had just finished
telling my story to a room full of junior high students and wasn’t ready to
spill out a summary in the middle of a crowd.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Maybe not tomorrow, but this weekend, I could write out my
story and send it to you. Would that be
okay?” I nodded along with my
suggestion, trying to convince myself along with Steve that this was, in fact,
a good idea.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We wrapped up our conversation, and as soon as I was out the
door, I turned to my friend Camry and squealed, <i>I think my life just changed!<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That wintry night back in 2009 was a beginning.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are rare moments in life where God allows you to see
people, and, as you look at them, you don’t just see the moment you’re in, but
several moments into the future. You
realize you are connected, even though you’ve just met, and somehow you know
things about the person looking back at you, even though they’ve never been
said. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That night, in the midst of a buzzing church lobby, I looked
at Steve and saw that he was a writer….<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
….but somehow, I was the one writing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I went home, opened my laptop, and began to pour out my
soul. I had never committed to paper, or really even said aloud what it was
like to have cerebral palsy, to look down every day at feet that didn’t
match. I had never expressed to another
person besides God how deeply hurt and disappointed I had been that God had
decided not to heal me when I had begged Him day after day. I was just learning how to love God again in
this area of my life, to let some light in, to really trust that He held me in
His hands….<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wrote and wrote and wrote…..my words became an e-mail
attachment that became an article that became…a book.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Writing a gut-wrenching memoir is like subjecting yourself to
a wound being cleaned, being scrubbed over and over again until you are deeply
and fully healed. I remember one August afternoon I was sprawled out on the
floor, exhausted. I had wanted to write
for six hours that day, but by 2 PM, I had fallen well short of my goal, bogged down by the work of carefully revising some of the most painful chapters in my
manuscript. I remember convincing myself
to go back to the computer, to keep typing, and there I found an e-mail from
Steve:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Jenny,<br />
<br />
I've been writing a little bit lately. Just writing some essays that may be a
part of a future blog. And I thought of you - and I wanted
to say: Keep writing! Keep
going! You have something to say and people need
to read it! You go girl!<br />
<br />
Steve<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Steve did go on to write a <a href="http://www.stevewiens.com/2013/03/12/to-parents-of-small-children-let-me-be-the-one-who-says-it-out-loud/">blog</a>,
and I remember him texting me the morning it went viral. I smiled, because Steve, along with the rest
of the world, was realizing together how good his words were, how much they
needed to be shared. The writer I saw
that night at church was beginning to compose.<o:p></o:p></div>

I have had several unique opportunities since I finished <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Walking-With-Tension-Jennifer-Christine/dp/1492913286"><i>Walking with Tension</i></a> in 2014. Joni Eareckson Tada and I both had articles
published side by side in the <a href="https://www.bethel.edu/news/articles/2014/april/joni-eareckson-tada"><i>Bethel Magazine</i></a><i>.</i> We had an opportunity to
meet months later and talk about the experiences of grief and disability. This was quite miraculous, seeing as I threw
her book angrily in the trash when I was a teenager.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Seminary Professor whose thoughts on friendship and contributions to the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Why-God-Suffering-Disability-Church/dp/1433525801/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1352691370&sr=8-1&keywords=why+o+god">Why
O God</a> have been such a mentor to me in my journey of accepting disability
in my own life and in the lives of others.
The summer my book came out, Victor happened to be preaching alongside
Steve and Northern Pines Camp and it was incredible! I woke up every morning and wanted someone to
pinch me, it was so good. You can hear
it all <a href="http://npines.org/archives#panel-188">online</a>. </div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuT_Xadwqo0">I’ve been on television</a>,
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqKemLy-JG4">spoken at two
universities</a>, a few non-profits, and have had several opportunities to sit
across from people who have also been impacted by disability as they share
their stories. I’ve had the occasional
reader come up and thank me in public, sometimes in tears, because, as Steve
tells me, my words have helped people name their vulnerabilities
and move towards wholeness. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
Perhaps my
favorite experience, though, as I’ve begun to write, is watching my friendship
with Steve unfold as we cheer each other on in sharing our words with the
world. Steve has written a beautiful
book about creation called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Beginnings-First-Seven-Days-Rest/dp/1631464000"><i>Beginnings</i></a><i>,</i> which comes out January 1<sup>st</sup>,
2016. <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #141823;">I’ve had the honor of reading this
book in its entirety; what a gem. Steve tells personal stories in a warm and
welcoming way as if he is your next door neighbor. Although I grew up reading
the Bible, I found the way he illustrates stories accessible for me, sometimes
for the first time in my life! There are spiritual practices and questions at
the end that you can ponder on your own or together with friends. It’s a
perfect gift for you or your small group.
I hope you read it soon and enjoy it as much as I did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I suffer from seasonal depression. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Every year as we turn our clocks back and the clouds roll
in, I get sad. Driving at night, I feel
almost as if the darkness is trying to reach into my car windows so it can
devour my soul. Kind of like Harry
Potter’s Dementors, but without form. I
can become withdrawn from humanity, losing my appetite for human contact, and at
the same time, feel desperately lonely. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m less motivated: I
want to sleep more, eat more, and cry more. Christmas is not the most wonderful time of
the year; that honor belongs to the month of July. So, since mid-November, I’ve started to make
what I like to call, <i>The Joy List. </i>I’ve tried to notice and remember things
in my life that bring joy. I hope you
enjoy reading mine, and in turn, are inspired to create your own. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Joy is…<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The grandpa whose life was saved from what could have been a
fatal freak accident and now gets to spend his golden years with his grandson,
playing cars and trucks on the floor, laughing and holding each other close.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The auntie who visits her niece’s freshmen dorm to deliver
the surprise that’s she’s been secretly saving for her niece’s college
education for years…and the dream she holds to study abroad, the one she had
been praying for that morning, is not only going to be a reality, but it’s
going to be paid in full.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The friend who invites you to dinner, the one who has
already attended her mother and brother’s funerals, has some news to
share. You squeal with delight and embrace
in a hug because she is pregnant! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joy is eating dinner with friends. Part way in you realize the food is so good,
and you feel so relaxed and at peace, but the real reason you feel at rest is
because of the people sitting with you; they know the real you and love you so
much.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joy is running into your little nieces and nephew while you
are in town. Everyone lights up and is
so excited. Every time. The littles share their news and their love. There are rounds of hugs and kisses before
everyone goes on their merry ways.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That extra day off you weren’t expecting.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your second cup of coffee.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joy is standing in church to sing. You catch the harmony and sing it out
strong. Suddenly your whole body is
participating in expressing what is deep in the soul. Joy is closing your eyes in that moment,
imagining yourself standing before the throne room of God, earnestly pouring it
out, this overflowing expression of gratitude <i>Thank you, thank you, thank you</i>, but in this dream you are standing
there in this cute black and white party dress, with shiny red heels, whole and
complete, but even then, you realize, the thing you want most, is still the
love of God.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joy is sitting in the living room by the fire.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joy is watching the sun rise, painting the sky with fiery
pink.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joy is working hard to pedal up to the top of the hill in
the park, pumping my legs, throwing my back into it, lecturing myself, <i>You can do this, or your name isn’t Jenny
HILL! Come on! </i>Joy is finally reaching
the top and then sailing down it like a little kid.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joy is giving your friend a second big hug, because the
first big hug just wasn’t enough.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

Joy is holding a wee baby, new to the world. Kissing his head and whispering in his ear: <i>You are precious. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joy is celebrating with your friend who, after many years of

Joy is dancing around your kitchen to songs that make you
happy.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m blessed to have people in my life who consistently ask
me, “How can I pray for you?” My answer
lately has been, “You can pray that I would be more loving.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I find myself wondering from the prescribed lectionary
Advent readings to the familiar words of 1 Corinthians 13, the famous <i>Love Chapter.</i> There I find a menu of things I am:
impatient, envious, boastful, and self-seeking.
I am an accountant, making a meticulous record of wrongs that have been
done to me. My keen memory is fabulous
for the work of a librarian, but cumbersome when it comes to forgiveness. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This idea of agape love that Paul is illustrating in chapter
13 evokes the picture of a love-feast.
As if our lives were a banquet table, all of our love spread out and
available for others to enjoy.
Overflowing amounts of patience, kindness, and goodness to go around,
gobs of protection, trust, and perseverance.
But, so often, my love does not look like a banqueting table. Lately, my love looks more like a food
fight. I want to dip my spoon into the
lime green Jello-O of envy, cock it backwards in a catapult, and fling it!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How do we become more loving?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How do we put down our spoons, putting the ways of childhood
behind us like Paul suggests?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This, I have been pondering, for the better part of a
decade.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We could pray for those who persecute us. (I think I just
shot milk through my nose.) How interesting of David to observe in Psalm 23
that the Lord prepares a table before him in the presence of his enemies, as if
the love feast were especially available when we find it most challenging to
commune with others. I’m learning that prayer for those who persecute us is more
than an act of obedience, more than the “Christian” thing to do. Sometimes the inky black that surrounds our
enemies is more layered, confusing, and dark than our human souls can
handle. In our pursuit to love our
enemies, we must reach out to the Light of World. He is our only hope for a break through. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We could spend time with people who suffer. People who experience overwhelming need have
so much to show us about the sustaining power and friendship of God towards
those He loves. The preciousness of
their lives may motivate us to take an honest look in the mirror, realizing
that we have both a real need and greater capacity for love and compassion in
our hearts. It is what has propelled me
to accept the invitation to take a seat at the Table, simply asking the Father
if I could have a second helping of His never-failing love.<o:p></o:p></div>

For the past year or so, the name John Stumbo has come
across in conversation. One day he was
running marathons, and the next he was he was lying in the hospital. Unexplained weakness had visited his body, and
for reasons that are unclear, John lost the ability to swallow. His muscles simply stopped working. John has now recovered from his mysterious
illness, but what has taken place in his heart and mind is still
unfolding. He has since written <a href="http://www.amazon.com/John-Stumbo/e/B007OC6CHM">two books</a>, and is now
the president of the <a href="http://www.cmalliance.org/about/family/leadership/john-stumbo">Christian

do.” It’s not about how smart I am, how cool I act, how witty I can be, or how
much God has used me. It’s not about how big my ministry is, how many books
I’ve sold, how many books I’ve read, how many likes I get on Facebook, or how
many people like me at all. Love isn’t about how much I’ve sacrificed or how
hard I’ve worked. It’s not about my talents, my interests, my success, my
anything.<o:p></o:p></i></div>

<i>What is it like to experience peace when you are serving in the military? I asked a veteran I know to write on this topic. He graciously agreed to compose for me, but asked to remain anonymous. I think you will find his words insightful.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had just arrived in the Kingdom of Bahrain after what
seemed like an infinite flight. I was on my way to the USS ENTERPRISE to join
the crew in the engineering department. It was a bright, sunny morning in the
Middle East but it sure felt like bedtime to me. About 15 other people and I
were waiting in the shade of a tent on a concrete pad with nothing but plain
white buildings and sand in the background. Other than a couple of camels tied
to a fence, it was not a very remarkable place.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was anxious to find a phone to call my very pregnant wife
who was scheduled to have a C-section with our first child later that week.
Finally the bus arrived to bring us to the processing building where we were assigned
a place to stay and told when we were scheduled to depart for our duty
stations. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I got to my hotel room, I finally had a chance to call
home. My plan was just to tell her I made it and that I was going to the ship
early the next morning. Turns out she was going to do all the talking. She
answered her cell phone from her hospital bed where she had given birth to our
daughter a few hours earlier. I had missed it by a day! The good news was, both
she and the baby were great and she had friends there to take care of her. The
bad news was, I was at least 6 weeks from getting home to see them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Getting to a new ship is stressful enough when you’re
focused on the task at hand but having a new baby that you’ve never even seen a
picture of is something that keeps you distracted. My task was to get all of my
qualifications complete while the reactor was critical because when we got
home, we would be shutting down and heading into an overhaul period where I
wouldn’t have a chance to operate the plant at power. My watch station was
titled Propulsion Plant Watch Officer or PPWO. I supervised the controls of two
reactors and the associated engine room. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I also was put in charge of a division of about 20
mechanics. These guys (and ladies) were smart and always wary of a new officer.
And, they all knew WAY more than I did about the ship and how it worked. My
days consisted of ensuring my guys were performing their maintenance checks,
standing appropriate watches, taking logs, and staying out of trouble. When I
wasn’t doing that, I was spending as much time as I could standing my own
watch, under instruction, learning as much as I could. I had about 50
individual tasks I had to perform, dozens and dozens of hours of watch to
stand, a division to run, and an engine room to keep operating – all the while
trying not to get lost on this 1,000 foot floating monster. Just remembering
where to go to eat was a challenge. Normally, these things are all taken in
stride but I couldn’t stop thinking about my small family waiting for me at
home. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Things were not moving as fast as I would have liked.
Nothing moves fast in a nuclear power plant (unless of course they are going
wrong). Weeks were flying by and I wasn’t getting my tasks done
proportionately. I had qualified as the after steering safety officer which
meant any time we were transiting anywhere near land, I was at the bottom of
the ship in a place called “after steering” waiting for a control failure that
would never happen; more importantly, I wasn’t making any progress on my quals.
By the way, it takes FOREVER to transit the Suez Canal at 10 knots. The phone
system availability was spotty and the internet was even worse. I was stressed.
I missed my wife and ached to meet my daughter. The ship was either very hot or
very cold, but always big and unfamiliar. Just finding the stinking bathroom
was a 10 minute evolution that I didn’t have time for. There were over 5,000
people on board who all knew what they were doing except for me. They were
everywhere yet I was alone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wait a minute. I wasn’t alone. The Lord put me on that ship
at that time. He sets my challenges and enables me to meet them. He was there
too. What does Ephesians say? Oh yeah, “For He himself is our peace.” Peace!
That sounds good. That’s what I’d been missing. Not because it wasn’t there, it
was; He was. I was so focused on myself, I forgot that God not only provides
peace, He is our peace all the time! I needed to let Him be in control, not me.
I needed to look up. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What a shift. I started to move well through my tasks. I
started to feel confident in the control room. My guys started to get to know
me and trust began to develop. I could find the wardroom, head, engine room and
my stateroom in just under what would be considered a reasonable amount of
time. We were heading home soon – in time for Christmas! I even managed to sing
a few carols while down in the bowels of after steering (don’t worry, it was so
loud down there that no one else had to listen).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We pulled into Norfolk on December 19<sup>th</sup>. It was a
Wednesday. The folks who had become parents while they were away got to get off
the ship earlier than most. There was a tent setup on the pier where family
members could wait for their sailors. Most were outside, smiling with
anticipation. I looked around and didn’t see any familiar faces. I went inside
the tent and saw the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen in my short life. There
was my dear wife, nursing a baby. She smiled. My little one was mostly covered
with a blanket but her tiny little legs and feet were sticking out one side. I
stopped in my tracks – there are no words for moments like that. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Peace. Sometimes you have to consciously look for it and
sometimes it overwhelms you and your heart swims in it. But it is always there
– He is always there – knocking on the door. I encourage you to open it.<o:p></o:p></div>

<i>“Rejoice in the Lord
always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The
Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer
and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of
God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in
Christ Jesus.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>

standing in my reading well with the kids huddled around me. Sometimes I feel
like a mother hen with her chicks surrounding her nest. We were reading </span></span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Farmer-Will-Allen-Growing-Table/dp/0983661537"><i><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;">The Growing

him after I had finished reading the story, one of the students raised his hand
and said, "He was smart and he had longing." As the words fell from his lips, I stopped,
so intrigued. "What did you mean?" I asked, giving him a high 5.
"He had longing to make his dream come tru<span class="textexposedshow">e."</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
As I went to lunch later that day, I wondered about Jesus’
statement, <i>Let the little children come
to me…for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these. </i>Kids are so full of wonder and
perspective. Uninhibited, unafraid to
spill fourth what is in their soul.
Children, I am convinced, have something to teach us, and we are wise to
surround ourselves with them, stopping to listen to what they have to say.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The student in my reading well gave me such pause because I
experience a daily dose of L-O-N-G-I-N-G.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Who thought up this word!?”
I have repeatedly asked my friends, almost angry. “It has the word <b>L-O-N-G</b> in it!”<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They shrug, unsure how to respond, not liking its nature
either.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But I can’t get away from this experience of
L-O-N-G-I-N-G. It’s been stretching
itself out in me for months. Every day
around 9:30AM, while I snack on nuts and cheese, and I feel this ache emerge
from my soul. It’s as if someone has
taken their fist, reached into my chest, grabbed hold of my heart with their fingers,
and is now pulling me along in their grasp.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Longing looks in both directions. In one direction, longing stands at a closed
door. Grieving over a beloved past,
unable to enter that time or experience ever again. Longing knocks at the door in vain. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Longing also turns and stretches out its fingers over a new
horizon, open and willing to grab hold of a breathtaking future that is rising
with the sun. They skies are not filled
with tears from this angle, but are bursting forth, highlighting the canvas
with orange and pink.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s scary to name the things we are grieving or are
reaching for. We don’t want to say
Hope’s name aloud, because we all know that Hope has an ugly step-sister,
Disappointment. She crowds the
conversation sometimes, endlessly reminiscing about the pain of the past, and
when she is done, you want to stop dreaming, stop feeling. You leave the room, realizing you have
nothing to say to Hope.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But the second grader in my reading well hasn’t meet
Disappointment, or at least, hasn’t learned to listen to her yet. His observation of longing, suggests that it is
essential to moving forward, to being expanded.
<span class="textexposedshow"><span style="background: white; color: #141823; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;">“L-O-N-G-I-N-G
is this insightful word that has given feeling to distance. This ache between where
we are and where we want to be. Longing, I realized that day, is the discomfort
that ultimately propels people forward to make change in the world, to make
their dreams a reality. Longing holds hands with hope, and together, their
friendship brings forth our dreams.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
