Wait, willingly

It is okay to wait To sit and stare through the window Hoping to have an answer Looking for a sign Waiting is not for the weak But for the willing For the one who will not give up For the one who will breathe deep and find grace For the one whose heart finds rest For the one who wills it all Even in the unknown

Be

Be intentional with encouragements.

Be prayerful in conversations.

Be faithful in the mundane.

Be aware of His presence.

Wherever you are, be all there.

Found yourself

You have not lost yourself, despite the change in season. But it is through the shifting tides that you have found yourself, stronger, bolder, greater, bigger. Words have not left your lips, Neither has creativity been dammed. You are simply growing, becoming Into the person you will be.

You will.

It’s been days, weeks, months, and years, of trying, struggling, and pressing through the tears. You can barely breathe, but you’re still breathing, hardly able to think, and yet still living. Don’t lose hope now, don’t give up. Fight another day, you’ve come this far. Don’t back down now, don’t give in To the voices that beckon you to leaving. You will journey on, with grace and strength, With your heart laid open, for love to repair All the parts of you, broken and bare. You will, trust me, You will get there.

Proscrastinating intentionality is like covering your eyes in the dark. It doesn’t make sense. Start intentionality, now.

We must love what must be done. I keep doing the same things everyday, but it still remains with no change. It’s in being aware of how greatly loved and amazingly saved we are, that we may be caught up in the joy of the daily mundane routine. In placing of one foot in front of the other, you are continuing in the race that has been marked out for you. Embrace one day at a time, enduring work of faith.

Family isn’t primarily for our enjoyment or personal legacy, family is the place from which the gospel is modelled and proclaimed. God uses imperfect families to reflect transformation through the saving, sanctifying work of the cross…one Christ dependent relationship at a time.
