Sometimes being strong can leave you feeling lonely

Every assumes you are doing great because you say no different

Life can make you feel so weary that you don’t have energy to explain,
so saying less is part of surviving

Yet thankfully God sends a select few into our lives that know…
they know when you get quiet you probably need extra prayers

They know when you say, “I’m fine,” it’s more of a longing being voiced rather than a truth

We all want to be understood, loved and cared for-
Even if we hide the details of our hurting, we want this still

Praise God that He fully knows, fully cares and fully comforts us as His precious children-

And that sometimes that looks like a friend showing up to sit beside you with kind words even though you said you were ok alone 🙏

God's creation reminds me...

He is all powerful
He is in control
He knows all
He can be trusted
He keeps His promises
He is Love
He is care
He is comfort
He is peace
He is Home
His grace is sufficient
He calls us His own, perfectly and wonderfully made by Him
He is perfect

God's creation reminds me of His nearness-
He will never leave our side
He never fails

God, we are grateful 🙏

Love is universal...

You can be a stranger or
from a different culture-
You can have a difference of age or
have a different career -
You can speak different languages or
you can have entirely different abilities-

but love is greater than all-
it knows no limits or boundaries

Love can be felt and shared in the midst of all of these and more-

Hugs, smiles, prayers or a hand to hold -
love is expressed in endless ways

God IS love and what a gift that He allows us the privilege of sharing love with others

It is a true treasure to love and to be loved ♥️

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13

"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." 1 John 4:8

"We love because he first loved us." 1 John 4:19

"Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." 1 John 3:18

"For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Galatians 5:14

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, -" Galatians 5:22

Dragonflies always catch my eye-
I notice their smiles as they sit nearby

You can see their intricate wings when they don’t fly-
like tiny stained glass windows in the sky

God’s creation astounds-
His beauty and power abound

Inspired by nature, light and awe inspiring things...

Maybe, just maybe-
light is born within the darkness

Maybe, just maybe-
in the breaking we are becoming

Maybe, just maybe-
this is where our wings are formed 💫

Because Jada is amazing...
she only had a tiny bit of time yesterday,
caregiving usually doesn't allow much down time-
but when she had some quiet moments she chose to
create something beautiful 😊
What a gift 🫶

Kinda chic...

How would you answer this question?

This is my personal prayer of what I long to share -
Share with this world around me, and with what God has entrusted to me-
within the seemingly small things, and also the larger picture…

I want to share the fruits of Your Spirit,
and gratitude
Your love and Your light -
all for Your Glory
within each step of this one beautiful, messy, and special treasure of a life You have blessed me with-
Help me Lord 🙏

Even if most days this looks like loving my family well and caring for our household,
there are no small things when they are done in faith-
done in prayer-
done in praise.

Trusting His purpose with each breath and within each task
allows them to become sacred opportunities-
Within each we can ask ourselves, “What do I want to share?” 💛

Will we fall short?…absolutely
but praise Him that He stands with us-
to encourage, to steady, to guide and to love us perfectly
as we strive to live in sweet surrender and obedience to Him.

He IS Love and adores us more than we can fathom
His grace is amazing 😭

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.-“ Galatians 5:22-23

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:17

“In the same way, let your light shine before others,
that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16

I adored this qoute from so much
that I decided to do a little doodle with it 😊

God is love -
and even in the darkest of seasons,
the light of His love always shines through

Thank You God for this beautiful life 🙏

Jada's newest art piece is joyful 😊 🏖️ 🦀

Some seasons we are weary and joy is more difficult to discover-
Life can be heavy and tough

I trust that God will renew our souls as we rest in His perfect and loving care 🙏

One breath at a time
One step at a time
He is here
He has us
Joy remains
He remains

🎶 Open the eyes of my heart, Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see You, I want to see You
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see You, I want to see You 🎶
"Open the eyes of my heart" by Michael W. Smith
