This morning I had the opportunity to share God's Story in our lives, how He carried and is carrying us through this journey with childhood cancer. I'm so thankful that God opens up these doors to share, because as much as I love sharing to encourage others of God's faithfulness, I am just as in need of the sweet reminder of God's sovereignty in my life. I want to say yes to Him. In everything I do.
In everything I do.
I'm tired of mediocre. I'm tired of separating Him into a box.
He has no boundaries. It's not just a Sunday morning thing. Or a checklist.
And frankly, I'm tired of striving for comfort and safe.
I say these things not because I want some radical change in my life, but if that is what He wants. Then I want it too.
I feel this stirring in my heart, in my little family's lives. So I ask God to help my unbelief and use me for His glory.
If God can bring me a joy and peace in my scariest of times, what can He do if I give Him my everyday?
I am human and seek desires of my own heart every day and my mind is filled with thoughts of selfishness and bitterness and greed and as if I desire more than I have. But. But there is grace, and I welcome grace into my heart to cover my hearts selfish desires. After all, God gives grace freely. And I'm thankful for that.
So, I say yes. Yes to my great God that goes before me, and does immeasurably things.
The girls were leaving church one morning and said "this is how we praise Jesus, we lift our hands and dance!" Gosh, I have so much to learn from my children. And the picture of Lincoln, well, I just can't handle his cuteness in a tie.
