Catching My Tears
I’ve had back to back events where this design has sparked great conversations. The latest came on October 15, 2022 in a park in Semmes, AL. I was a vendor for The Women’s Resource 5K run. A young lady came up to me and said she had just had a conversation with someone about this specific verse. Two weeks ago, a lady told me they were currently going through a women’s Bible study and this verse/design was the theme. Both conversations were personal, so I’d never discuss the specifics in detail. But the meaning behind the design and verse did come up. I believe God intentionally allowed our paths to cross. And that would follow right in line with my life motto of “Nothing happens to me by chance.”
About the Design
I was helping my wife with something last year while she listened to worship music. At the time, she was in physical pain and cried a lot before leaving the house. One of my Spiritual gifts is mercy, so I felt all of her emotion deep inside of me. The crazy thing is, I felt the exact same heaviness with my customer when she discussed what she was going through. The more her tears dropped, the more watery my eyes got. It’s as if God allows me to see inside the person.. And deep down, I think I relate because for years I never felt seen.
About the Verse
Psalms: 56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
God will speak to different people in different ways based on their circumstances. The main message behind my design is that God knows every problem and see every tear. My prayer is that he wraps his arms around you Today. At one of my lowest points in life, I felt thrown away. There were people around me all the time. Several called and texted often to check on me, but I still felt empty and alone. One of my biggest struggles in my life had been self esteem and insecurity. Let’s just say that I’ve spent a lot of time talking to God and in recent years a therapist. At my lowest, I would listen to worship music and wrap my arms around myself as if someone else was there to comfort me. Although I may not have always felt like it, I know someone was always there. God was. He was there “Catching My Tears.”
