We Begin

Here is a thought if you are willing to listen- I only tell the truth of what I am feeling.. are you listening to me? You wish to know the inner parts of me and my past– the events that formulated my character over time.. the wounds that went so deep but did heal. the brokenness that brought me to that place, of total defeat..

My words barely leave my lips, my breath is still lingering in the air… when your head slowly lowers and you turn.. and as you walk away– a single tear makes it’s way down my ashy face.

there you have it- where did you go? why did you say the things you did. why did the voice of reason fall on deaf ear..

i broke. i healed. i was made stronger through my weakness. because i hold on. i fight. i fear– but it does not stop me. i am under the waves the knock the breath right out of me.. but i will not be sunk. i will not drown in these waters–

i am a fighter.. i fight against myself- the world and the love that causes you to hurt. this is where i am. far from where i began and so far from where i will end. but it is one step- breath- heart beat– and.. smile.. closer to that place.

In Christ Alone I Make My Stand And I Will Fight On For He Is My All…

There is nothing else.. No More Me.

His Grace Is Where It All Begins. Give It To Him– It’s So Worth It.

Isaiah 55

Invitation to the Thirst

1 “Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.

2 Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.

3 Give ear and come to me;
hear me, that your soul may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David.

4 See, I have made him a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander of the peoples.

5 Surely you will summon nations you know not,
and nations that do not know you will hasten to you,
because of the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor.”

6 Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.

7 Let the wicked forsake his way
and the evil man his thoughts.
Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the LORD.

9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

12 You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.

13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree,
and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the LORD’s renown,
for an everlasting sign,
which will not be destroyed.”
