“In this life you will have trouble, but fear not, I have overcome the world.”
This world and the part we play in it is beautiful. Yes, there is brokenness, but I want to look for the beauty of our redemption in it. The Lord has made all things new, even as He is in the process of making us new.
Join me in looking for the beauty in life through thoughts and poems. I am so glad you are here.
Home is where you are
Old friends will at times become strangers
As you grow and change
It is powerful to say outloud to ourselves and others that we are richly blessed with more than we deserve.
Then we enter a season of waiting. For the Christmas holiday, we wait in eager anticipation because we know what we are celebrating has already happened.
Our grief and pain are significant to our Savior. But I also know that to choose joy in not to overlook or deny pain. It is in fact a way to redeem it.
Tell me your ideas
And I will tell you mine
We will debate the pros and cons
And I promise to tell you when your wrong
Because you who were once cast out
Are being brought near
Not to a place of exposure
But a place of redemption
The enemy feeds us lies, but we claim them. We take hold of them. We use them. We believe them. We lie to ourselves the most.
Lately God is teaching me that we can make God honoring decisions and be a little afraid. However, we cannot make God honoring decisions out of fear.
I want a life that is full
not busy
That is the beauty of sanctification. It is not by our might or our intention. It is only by the Spirit. Not by strength, but by surrender.
