love this…
Even more than I appreciate Amy’s photography, I appreciate her transparency and her heart. Once again, she openly shares her struggle, her faith and her hope in this most recent post. I recommend reading the entire thing but the last paragraph really struck me and could not more perfectly articulate my own desire for this year and the rest of my life!
“There is one thing I want so badly though. I simply want to be wrecked by God’s love for me. I want to be so undone that I can never be put back together. I want the Holy Spirit to so utterly consume me that my every breath is to bring glory to God. I want to be so intimate with Jesus that I am like a light shining in the darkness, pointing the way to the most beautiful, wonderful truth you can ever experience. I am a woman consumed by passion to know the living God. I can hardly think of other things sometimes. His love is changing me. Rescuing me. Healing me. I am not the same as I was, and I can never go back. I have found everything I was ever looking for. He’s so beautiful. He’s saving me. And I adore Him so much that I just cannot stay silent. So if there was ever a New Year’s resolution for me this year it would be to unify my voice. To speak my heart no matter what the cost.”

Thanks for the link to her blog — the photos are spectacular and the words heart-wrenching!! I’ve had similar prayers at times — such a scary one to pray.
I once sent an e-mail with a friend in which I closed with an impromptu prayer ending with the request that we might remember that He holds all things (even us) together, so that there is the freedom to fall apart completely. It’s an easy thing to talk about and a scary thing to have happen, but this thought comforts me when I feel like I’m losing it.
I’m really glad you pointed out her blog — that’s one I’ll definitely go back to.
