We’re all just a bunch of screw-ups looking for love that can only be found through Jesus dying on the cross. God is gracious.
We are weak, He is strong. We are sinful, He is righteous. We’re prostitutes, He is faithful. Our God saves and redeems us to THE greatest love story of all time:: the Church & Christ. We are unworthy, yet we are given grace. Stay humble, glorify God.
No, it’s not January, but tomorrow is the end of the 5th month. This year has been better than all the other years, but it DEFINITELY could’ve been better. Wayyyyy better. I’ve made scary decisions, but now is the time to work. WORK. Hard work. It scares me. But life is too short to not have pain & grow. Really, it is. Honestly, I haven’t grown as much in the Lord as I’ve wanted to. Not much at all. Lately I’ve been shown that the relationship between Christ & I is the only thing that matters. Nothing else truly lasts (people do…but still). Everything & everyone else will let me down, my joy should be based on & in Christ. (yes yes yes!!!)
So tonight I made another scary decision. Now tomorrow I get to act on it! Work baby! Today I was busy in the morning and had a lazy afternoon reading Tolstoy and falling asleep to ambient music. I needed rest at that point, still I wasn’t fufilled. I don’t want the rest of my summer going like today & yesterday. Yikes! Half lived. That scares me. So more purposeful living. Less non purposeful living. Def. Tomorrow will include intentional time, blog planning & doing, loooong time with God (!!!), running, eating healthy, and saying the truth. Scary, but worth it! xoxo B
One of my favorite quotes.
It’s scary to be alone. I shiver at the thought of it. But it’s in the spaces of being quiet that, I believe, we really find ourselves. Conjure up the most brilliant ideas, and dream the biggest dreams. Loneliness forces us to focus on what is really important. Sometimes being lonely is a-okay.
God wants you. He loves you. You don’t have to have it all together. Come broken & humbled. I want to be broken & humble every single day of my life. There’s nothing quite like it. When I feel broken, I feel strong in Christ. Come as you are, no masquerades or lies to hide behind. Just you. Come to God, He will hold you.
I want to do this. Every stinking day. Real life, living, not existing, begins when you LEAP! This is my heart call. To get beyond mediocrity, you have to risk. Do…don’t just think…this is how you get ahead…even if you fail you’ll be farther ahead than just staying stuck. Get beyond! xoxo B
Absolutely!! This past week was amazing. Hard, but amazing. But that’s the thing. It’s hard to be, do, and create, awesome. I’ve been taking leaps of faith and now I can’t wait to do more and see these come to fruition. God is so good, life is good, relationships are good :) Blessed beyond belief. Tired too. xoxo B
