God..
You know those days when you just can't seem to get it right...
That's today.
The day when you're far less than perfect.
When only backwards and wrong things come out of your mouth
instead of life and truth.
Turn this day, in its last moments, upside down.
Flip it on its head and redeem it in your lavish grace.
Fill me
Flood this room with everything of your peace,
everything of your grace.
Let your particles your atoms fill this air.
My soul waits on you.
My soul waits on the living God.
For He alone is my hope and my salvation.
Amen.

Oh and you whisper your words of love through every moment of my day.
But am I listening? really listening to all you have to say?

I'm afraid of catching fire.
My shoes slip off, bare feet on the ground.
You and me, me and you.
Is this really holy ground?
Help me welcome you this day
with my stubborn hard heart.
Undo me, woe me, reveal yourself today.
Come Lord Jesus come.

Didn't even know I wrote a bonus post...hahah...
God...
Gracious moments. It's the beauty of the unrehearsed pauses of life that unfold the unexpected gold. And when my life feels like a continuous whirlwind, a constant prolonged moment of blustery storms, when my life feels like a winter storm reorder my thinking like the simplistic order of this brick wall with its calming assurance of safety.
Freshly washed hands warming themselves around a warm white cup of joe.
Grace moments in the middle of my storm.
And you're taking me to places I would never have gone on my own.
Uncharted valleys I would never have chosen.
You're taking me and you're healing me.
Slowly.
But you're healing me.
