Her words caught my ear...
"Jesus"
"God's son"
"Mary, His Mother"
and as I peaked over her shoulder
there was a cross
an angry mob
and Jesus
spilling Blood...
The actress playing the role of Mary was convincing
as she silently mouthed the words "my son"
and right there
in that moment
at 40,000 feet
traveling 550 mph
I learned
I realized
I finally understood
that the only way that she could have
stood there
watched
endured
that moment
was by remembering
who He was
the revealed plan and the purpose of His life
The only way that she survived that heart wrenching moment
was in remembering that
This was ordained by Him
Last week...
when we arrived home from work
we were met with an unbelievable sight
Water gushing
Exposed pipes
House destroyed
with our ceiling now on the floor
And its funny how in that moment I found my way back to Mary
as I stood on soggy carpet
looking at the gaping hole where the ceiling once was and telling myself...
"This was ordained by Him"
and then I really
learned
realized
finally understood
that the only way any of us can ever
stand
watch
endure
life's heart wrenching moments
is if we also remember...
who He really is

Wow. That is quite a thing to learn in August. Way better than my learning that Ron Swanson and Tammy 2 from Parks and Rec are married in real life.
