freefalling

 

Rain.

Rain falls down from Heaven...

Just like God's words fall from Heaven

In the Bible, it says that

God's words...

 don't go back up to Heaven...

Until they have accomplished 

what God sent them to do...

Calli was a word from Heaven.

 Aidan is a word from Heaven.

Ya know, when we fall on our faces before God,

sometimes we try and figure out what it is

we are supposed to do

to be

what our purpose is on this earth

we ask

and cry 

and beg for direction

for a word

for approval

acceptance

from God.

Maybe if we stop asking...

and let go

He will show us

and make us

what He wants us to be

Calli lived, not asking, just living.

Freely and fully Enjoying God 

and His creation...

learning and teaching,

She was life.

She was a word from Heaven.

A gift of life, given to us

for just a short time

such a short time

Calli completed her purpose here on earth...

so young...

sent back up to Heaven.

but still she lives...

her earthly body is gone

but the lessons she taught

the seeds that her life sowed

are ever present in our lives.

Our hearts are so broken 

so broken

and we do ask why...

we will never know on this side of Heaven

we are so confused

and we still love God

and we Trust Him....

but

where do we go from here?

How on earth do we recover?

 

Here we are on a skydive that we did not choose to jump.

We are free-falling through the sky 

through the clouds

we can barely see past the length of our own arms reach

we are scared to death

holding on to one another for our lives

and at the same time struggling, 

desperately tugging 

back and forth at one another

trying to hold on

trying to let go

reaching for the pull cord

 waiting for the parachute to open
