The Heart Matters For Us.

By Jenrene

The Older I Get… The more I realize:

The Heart Matters.

I am realizing that I cannot do nothing genuine, fulfilling and kind… unless I  first consider my heart.

Recently I was surprised –  in prayer, to learn something about my soul.  I really don’t know a lot of things,  about myself  and the more I am  in close relationship with God, my Creator, I tend to find I know more, I glean from  Gods friendship,  and I grow.  I  learn more about who I am authentically. And today, I was here:

  1. i am  a very sensitive person.
  2. i am one who loves to marvel in thought life, in revelations, in  memories, … in meaning.
  3. i am one who  stands in awe of what God has done in my life over the past 48 years.
  4. i am one who  has to continue to  daily allow God to do heart surgery  on me, because  my heart, can easily go astray.
  5. i  learned am ever so concerned about the heart of God’s people.

Recently, I found out a friend of mine was dying.

This friend  is so close to my being.. when I was going through a really hard time and trying to find myself and what I really stood for,  he was there. He wasn’t a boyfriend, he was just a friend to call me and to talk.  Oh, how he loved to talk! And boy,  it was something, because  he made me laugh so much!

I was trying to figure out how to move on  from a relationship I thought would last.  ( It was a first love kind of thing…) And I was like, completely devastated. And he knew it. He would reason with me, cry with me, help me to value hings about life and people, help me to understand men, he would share his ‘heart breaks’ with  me, and he would give me the funniest things to laugh about that it really would rest my soul to hear him talk.  It really bothers me, that I cannot talk to him, because he is in ICU.

You never see friends coming to this.

I guess this is the beginning of getting older… you begin to lose your peers.

I am not sure I am ready.

So… the Heart matters.

Friends are one of those heart matter issues, and  because of friendships and connection this morning  -and how we silently sometimes fall into confusion and misunderstanding about life, and spirit and God… I have decided to begin a hashtag movement called: #TheHeartMatters4Us . I am excited about it , because it  will be simple: a song, a blog post, a thought, a small statement or but always add a  “breath prayer”...for people to sort of get through the day.  when we have a loved one that is suffering, or we are suffering and find it hard to connect with ourselves, ,we can always reconnect again to our Creator. And I dedicate this ministry of thought life,  #TheHeartMatters4Us  – to my friend, Kelvin. *(Love you , boy!)

Love you my friends, always. Thanks for helping me through the hard times.
