This Heart doesn't share Answers, sharing a Heart Perspective

And 

This share is an experience on God's Movement in my Life

A Relationship with God
learning more daily in intentional scheduled "devotional time"
A Relationship, which for this heart is much more than a Religion
A Relationship to Share Life With God, and to "Be Still" Intentionally while Receiving Back.
Asking questions, sharing life's challenges, tears, concerns, as well as all the great things
going on, the celebrations, including the anticipated and hopeful days ahead
​
A Relationship

This Book called. . . Why?

​​I am a Christian
I believe In the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
I'm walking out this journey just like you
and
I have learned so much about God
Which includes Asking the Questions
Being Led, being Guided to the Answers at times
Including
Silent Times with No Answers to my Questions
Some that present day 'still linger' 
The Why
The When

There is a Gift of
Experienced Moments of Peace Within
Especially in the Midst Of...


I’ve traveled some miles now in this Relationship with God
And 
There are so many Layers


There is a Quiet Assurance
A Surrender to being aware "intentionally" knowing that I'm not in Control
Leaning On God
Trusting Him
A Loving God 
God whom has no "Respecter of Person"

The same I found
Is the same available to you
and
even more if you choose 
Your Own Relationship


When I fall short
When I make a mess 
When I say things I shouldn’t have
Take Actions that were completely the opposite of what I want my life to reflect

Suspecting there will be more times
It is called a Journey

With all this
A relationship
A Relationship with God My Creator
Who already Knows
And 
Without Judgment filled with Love
Arms opened wide
Especially when I fall short
I'm So Grateful


GOD WHO KNOWS

A God Who is Not Unapproachable
Doesn't deliver condemnation
Doesn't have a list of disappointments
or
A Pointed finger with a list of Wrongs
​
Even when sharing correction it is with Love
Doesn't always feel the best in those moments
but
Correction Is Love and Represents Caring
Represents Love


GOD IS LOVE

This Book called. . . Why?

The Comfort, the Trust

GOD
KNOWS 

Every intricate part of You, of Me
The Good
The Bad
The Real Ugly
The Great Traits
The Point a Relationship


Someone Needs to Hear This
GOD Loves You
He Created You 
He Already Knows

And 

Stop Allowing People Around You 
To Judge
To Validate 
To Accept You
To Decide If You are Worthy to Be Loved

Not One Person
Not One Person
No Matter How Close they are to You
Does Not Know
Your Heart, Your Experiences

Even if
Some experiences were shared
You have your own Perspective
Your own view, smiles and hurts


I Live Intentional
Focused on
“What really Heart Matters”

Words that this Heart Shares Often
My Heart believes
When we are Focused on this
It allows us to Take a Pause before we
Respond
Before we React with words or by Actions

And

Living with Awareness that
Nothing Remains the Same
Which in Many Ways Is a Blessing 
For This Heart

Changes that include Challenges
Draw me closer to God
Seeking Comfort, Relief, or Answers
Wanting challenging seasons to close out or to move on as quickly as possible
especially when filled with Discomfort


And

Changes that bring New Awareness of
How Great God Is including all that He is waiting to Share and to Show
Why He wants a Relationship with each and every one of us. 



This Trust allows for this Heart 
To Want More
To Look forward to
Carved Out Intentional Scheduled
Time with God

And 

Desiring to Live a Fulfilled Life
Filled with Numerous Joyful Moments
Filled with more Laughter, Hugs and Love

Being available to share a smile or a hug
When and if led
Even with those whom I may
briefly encounter. 

In Fact
This is one of many ways
That brings Fulfillment just in sharing with You in this way 
Using Words, Images and Sharing Gratitude


Including the Pursuit 
To Intentionally Learn more
To Grab Hold of More of God's Love
Which for this Heart 
Brings Comfort
Including  
Seeking, and Learning and Knowing
​
There is
There is

Hope Beyond a Grave

This Book called. . . Why?

This Share was placed on my Heart to Give to You
To Someone who may need to hear it "right now"
Tomorrow, or Somewhere along the Way

My Truth is on all that is Shared


It's God Business
Where it Lands
Where it will be Delivered


Again, 
This Share is Not Answers
Not my Interpretation of what you should take from it
It is my Experience 
If you feel led to after or during this

​I recommend to purchase the Book 
Wherever books are sold

I came across this Book...
Why? by Anne Graham Lotz

I think it grabbed my attention because of the Beautiful Blue Cover
and
the Name "Graham"

My thinking maybe there is was type of relationship to Billy Graham

It grabbed my attention enough that I knew
​I had to Buy It
​

---

I started to read it that day and a few days throughout that week
It has been at least 7 or 8 years ago now


What I remember
I was clueless what this book was about
It didn't grab my attention on the first few pages

And

I really felt I couldn't relate what was being shared
Clueless
Unrelatable

No Idea of
The Direction the Author was going


I continued to attempt to read the first chapter
and
I Just couldn't connect


Since I didn't really get what the Author was sharing
I decided to stick the book in my dresser drawer
and
Maybe one day revisit it 

​
​In the Dresser Drawer it Went
And 
I Just Forgot About It

My husband was killed on September 7th, 2016
If you want to know more, the share, is found under "Life Shifts"

But 
That has its own Journey

GOD KNOWS

And Suddenly

A Tragic Experience of an Immediate Loss of his presence in our Life
As a Husband, a Friend and Father for our two wonderful sons

There was a lot to handle
In An Instant
With Minimal Time to Think 
A Season of Just Do
And 
God's Grace, carried, even as I share this, I can't even share all that happened
During that time and space

But

​God carried the boys and I through 
With many chapters to be shared and was written between that moment and Now

​This Book called. . . Why?

There were many things to be packed up during that season
To go through things, and decide what and where it needed to go

I came across this Book
Located in my dresser drawer
This Book called "Why?"

---

From the First Page
Until the Last Page
Tears rolled
It was filled with Hugs and Understanding

And 
​
It Spoke with such a Connection
Like a Dart on a Bullseye Target


GOD KNOWS
Every Page was like having a Retreat with Jesus
It was a Heaven Sent
It was reading My Mail
It was Sharing to a Grieving Heart

Delivered by someone who just seemed to Know

This Experience is one that I will never Forget
A Cherished Appointment with God

The Book called... Why?
In that Dresser Drawer?!

​​This Book called. . . Why?

---

If You
or 
Someone You Know is Grieving


Experienced a Loss beyond Words to Express
A Moment
That includes "Why?"


I Heart Recommend this Book

In Fact
Go Online and you can read more 
Of
What this Book is about

Hugs,
​Yvette "Donyale"


PS: A Dear Heart mailed a copy to me
A Stranger 
Who heard about our Story 
About our Tragic Loss

They too had a Heart that Knew what that book meant
and thought enough to share with a Stranger
