Little Bits of Ordinary.


So. Life is moving on and it is one of those very full seasons.
(i guess they all are)

"Life is made of the moments."
Covenant. Balcony.
Mission Chatt. Psalms with women.
Urban YL. Pin and Yata.
Soul sisters.
Waiting. Questions.
Matthew and Jesus.
Two Little J's.
Lovin' the Fam.
Staff and Girls.
Lunch Dates.
Classes.
Full Time Student?
WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES THAT MEAN???
Oh Balcony... how I love you all.
Balcony is FULL of love, laughter, tears, little quirks, and big hugs.
Some days it has conflict...
Some days it has silence,
Some days it has tons of squealing,
but on all days God is moving!
"Im clinging to the promise that your not through with me yet."
GREEN [Fresh] LIFE!
We R Who We R.

HOLLA!
What is this life about? I guess it seems like a crazy question for a christian to ask. But ill be honest and say that some days this routine just doesnt cut it for me. There are days where i forget to notice the beauty, or forget to be present and engage, and there are days where i dont notice God at work.
There are a couple girls on Balcony who are in a ceramics class.
And they will be in the art barn for hours at a time!!!
HOURS.
They practice so hard to be able to work on the wheel.
Potters Hands.
THE POTTER SPENDS HOURS, no DAYS on me!
He forms.mold.
Rips down
and Builds back up.
He works me till im soft and ready.
Ready to be moved-
Ready to be changed!
He is at work.
CAPTURE MY HEART AGAIN<3
"Your love is extravagent, your friendship is intimate.
I feel like movin' to the rythm of your grace."
HE IS CALLING ME BACK! back into love.
back into his pure and righteous love.
Grace is pouring out and He is giving me eyes to see.
eyes to see and notice.
He is pulling back into thanksgiving.
"Hard Thanksgiving."
hard.
thanks.
"Open up my eyes to the things unseen."
Routine doesnt work for me.
Thankful that He is offering me much more than routine!
Thankful that He has offered me LIFE TO THE FULLEST.
Thankful that I am learning to receive!

Please Welcome to stage Yata and Pin:::
Breaking off curses
and doing UrbanYoungLife skits.
holla.

So overwhelmed by God's goodness.
So thankful for my [now] THREE nephews!
Cason (rock)
Judah (praise)
Jonas (peace).
Being an aunt is the biggest blessing I have. (right above being a sister:)
"Aunt Em."
"Oh how sweet to trust in Jesus.
Just to trust his cleansing blood...
Oh for grace,
to trust him more."

Hurricane.

I need You like a hurricane
Thunder crashing wind and rain
To tear my walls down
I'm only Yours now
I need You like a burning flame
A wild fire untamed
To burn these walls down
I'm only yours now
I'm only yours now

I am Yours alone Lord

PSALM 51:17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.

May We Walk In Sunshine.

Green grass.
Maxi dresses.
Fun boots.
Loud laughter.
Sarah and Stephy!
Sabbath Rest.
Slow reading.
Truth telling.
Heart friends.
Soul and
Blues.
Reading.

Life is BEAUTIFUL. when we notice it and when we don't. It is beautiful!
Life is offered to us. It is freely given.

So I am thankful.
Simply,
GIVE THANKS.
My heart is formed by thankgiving.
(in the good and the bad.)
GIVE THANKS.
Questions on my mind:
>Why did God create our hearts to desire?
>How do I not live by fear?
>What does "beautifully broken" actaully look like in real life?
>What does release look like?

"Turn from the path of planning,
to the path of PEACE."

Thankful for Mission Chat.
and a morning of sharing stories.
"all my rent man does is turn off my electricity."
There is NO fear in darkness.
Darkness flees when the Light Comes.
Jesus Come.

P.S. I REALLY love diet Coke! :)
