Practice

I'm going to practice enjoying my life in the middle of the sorrow and shame. A little each day.

I'm trying, Lord!

i want to quit trying and rest in You.
I need you, Jesus.
Create your fruit in me and bear it in mylife, Your time and Your way.for Your glory.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.
Thank you, Lord Jesus.xo

Fruit

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. 

~Galatians 55:22,23a

what more can I say? It's fruit. I can't manufacture it on my own. any of these!

i need You, Jesus!

Jesus.

Now is as good a time as any.

It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.” –Hugh Laurie
 I read this this morning on The Reluctant Entertainer.
Seems fit. 

A Drowsy Day

Reading over at incourage today, Ann Voskamp from Holy Experience, said a few things that I want to remember.

God’s not asking me to produce — He’s asking me to pray.
God’s not asking me to climb ladders — He’s asking me to kneel and let go.

and

God only allows pain if He’s allowing something new to be born.

Today's title for this post came from Trey. When he woke up this morning and came downstairs, he said "Today is a drowsy day."  with a sleepy smile. It is overcast and rainy. xo
