Sunday sermon

 This Sunday I’m realizing that as I’m regaining strength, my stamina has not yet caught up. It is absolutely frustrating. I’m having to take a nap every day like clockwork like a baby. It is embarrassing. I’m having to put my pride to the side. I’m having to give my body what it needs. I’m having to readjust goals and plans already this year. I’m having to understand that dreams may be delayed once again, but I know God knows the desires of my heart. My dreams aren’t dashed. I guess I need more preparation in the process. Trying to not follow my timeline is the biggest the biggest reminder. 

I’m proud of my progress in the process. I’m having to count the wins. I didn’t think I would see them again. Or if I knew it internally, my brain couldn’t conceive it externally. So God, I’m here. As I am.

Real peace

 The fire 

And a good book

Are my companions

This morning

As I enjoy

A wet, dreary

And damp day

That is oddly peaceful

Today

 Please Lord

Release me

From my

Anxious thoughts 

Handing them

Over to you

In Your

All knowing

Ways

The year ahead

 2026. 

We are here

May you be

Kind and gentle

Exude a peace

That surrounds 

This body

In the 

Best hug

Ever received


2025

Taught me

That we

Make plans

And God

Says look here

Listen

And trust

What I’m 

About to 

Do

New year

 New Year

Same God

Different me

Same God

Trust and obey

New year

Same story

It all starts

And ends

With the 

Father

necessary

 In the

Cold winter air

I’m reminded 

That all 

Seasons are 

Necessary

The ones

I don’t like

Are the 

Most useful

For growth

Pruning

Sowing

And reaping

May difficulty

Not scare me

But be welcomed

With open arms

Learn

 What I’m learning

I got an unexpected gift this Christmas. It was wrapped so well. It was so pretty. I didn’t want to open it. I still have the ribbon. Christmas has been beautiful, yet tested my mettle. God is good. Even when I’m not. All the pretty exterior can’t mask inner turmoil. I’ve been in a battle with my own body and mind. And my goal for the New Year is a consistent perseverance. 

God never stops refining us. Never lets off the gas. He is the driver of my car, not me. 

Your will not mine is the hardest lesson I constantly relearn even if I don’t want to. Isn’t that how He works.
