time off...


Sometimes, as it usually happens, the time off we take from things is forced upon us. Rarely is it intentional. At the beginning of the summer I broke my foot and found that much of my life was thrown into a chaotic state of being. It was frustrating to hobble around on crutches...asking for help with nearly everything...immobile and in pain. 


I learned many things during my time of rest and recovery. I made the most of situations and realized the importance of giving grace to oneself...of allowing a slower pace. I thought a lot about what is important, and how to give attention to those things. I considered how to let go of things that no longer needed a place.






I want to give my energy to those things that have value. The things God leads me to. Rarely do I realize these important things on my own. So I can say that I am thankful for this process. For where it has taken me and what it has shown me. I hope I can receive it in humility...

ready


Charles Spurgeon said: "I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the Rock of Ages." 
With all my heart I praise God for showing me love and renewal...
My soul dances on this Rock...
and it is safe...
and it is ready.

weep

just be


I drove off today...into the woods. 
I wanted my soul to be fed in a way that nothing else but trees, and sky, and wind can satisfy.
What does your soul long for? 
Where do you want to run away to...
in those moments when you need to be refreshed...
need to just, be.

thankful

I am thankful for the beautiful family God has given me. 
I am thankful for dear friends...
...and new friends...
and for the future life I am moving into. 
The past, the change, the pain...
God is weaving into something wonderful, and new.

And I am thankful...


necessary

Beautiful days...
stormy,
longing,
vibrant,
reflective,

...necessary...
