Love Grows!

Love grows! Really big sometimes :) every little smile.. Kind words, heartfelt sharing.. And suddenly one day, you realize your heart has become this majestic mountain of admiration and deep care. It's the kind of mountain that soars way higher than the threat of adversity. Love Mountains are strong and powerful things..

He Is With Me!

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

-Joshua 1:9 (NIV)

I will not fear the terror by night or the arrow that flies by day! For I am never alone. My strong safe shepherd is with me and will never leave me alone. 

We all seem to have to appear beautiful and brave. But hats off to those who struggle. Papa sees our hearts, the pain, the tears. And HE is with us! Our mighty king fights for us. 

So thankful I have a strong man to share my struggles with. It's beyond understanding, how he loves me.

How hard is it for a camel to make it through the eye of a needle?They say there is a gate in Jerusalem called "The Eye of the Needle". It's a tiny space you have to completely dismount all the luggage and burdens off your camel so he can get through. Feels like sometimes you just gotta dismantle and shed your burdens so you can walk through the door to follow your leader down the specially chosen path he has for you. What if you like your stuff and don't particularly want to remove it from your possession? ... Ah! It's that time where trusting the one who has your best in mind comes in rather handy. Pretty much your saving grace. You can either wander aimlessly outside the gate or lay it all down and follow him. You gotta love him to decide to follow with nothing :)
