love

 When you tell the world you’re grateful for peace, get ready to be tested. Had a tough time yesterday, but with everything, iron is sharpened. So today, my mission is simple.

Some recent life lessons 

Your worth isn’t tied to your wealth or accomplishments. If the world loves you too much, you may lose yourself in it. 

Jesus is working overtime with me. Being broken down is affirmation in a way that can’t be fully explained. 

Wanting people to love me or understand me is no longer fruitful. 

Sometimes the only person who can give you joy is self. 

If it’s popular, I no longer want it. 

This girl wants truth, not a preconceived notion

My challenge

Give a smile. A compliment to an unsuspecting recipient. 

Love yourself and one another

deeply

 I never thought yesterday’s post would resonate. That’s why this writer is just writing. I’m giving you all of me.  Surrender means what God can do with my meager means in each way. I’m just to be led, and then let Him work miracles. Maybe the miracle in me is that I quit seeking worldly desires, and He will give me exactly what I seek. 

Man is flawed. Deeply, deeply flawed, and yet so loved. In the past few days, I’ve seen the depths of sadness, pain, hurt and joy all together. Your status or accomplishments mean nothing if you don’t love. My accomplishments will not be remembered,  but the depth of love that comes from my heart will. 

Love yourself and one another

warmth

 Grateful for snail mail

Grateful for good music

Grateful for good food

Listening to some tunes dreaming of all the goodness there is when I stop and look. Seeking joy like it is my job. Right now it is. 

In your eyes

I see truth

Warmth 

And hope

That never ends

Love yourself and one another

receptive

 Grateful for discernment 

Grateful for peace

Grateful for surrender

Lord

The peace

I have 

Right now

Is more precious

Than any penny

You are working

And it’s working

Because of receptiveness 

To instruction

Could you continue to pray. Flood the zone of love for my favorite people. Thank you. 

Love yourself and one another

Questions

 What’s on your heart?

What is making you smile?

What is your last book read?

Favorite travel destination?

What is the last you did that made you joyful?

my joy

 The Redeemer

Of my soul

The lifter

Of my head

My prayer

Is this day

No human

Dare question

Who holds

My hope

Asking for miraculous healing for people dear to me. When surrender became the only option, You rejoice because it is the desire of Your heart. It needs to be mine too. 

I won’t argue

Or fight fights

That aren’t mine

My strength 

Is required elsewhere 

Love yourself and one another

I don’t have to like you, but I’m called to love you

 The vortex

Is here

Shivering

Outside

Inside

I’m warmed

By your love
