Top Ten Thursday

-
Introducing... Top Ten Thursdays: the top ten coolest things of the week. Not just acknowledging but owning the fact that my workplace is my M field; this simple shift in my outlook has helped me to not only show greater love and exude pure joy, but to be a better worker, which is honoring to Him who placed me there. Realizing that since I've been focused on Him this week, I've struggled less with distractions and temptations.   Praise. Worship night, tea party, and life group this week.  I don't have enough fingers to count all the amazing people the Lord has placed in my life through these things. New friends and heart-to-hearts and time with God. Hiking with coworkers after my shift today.  Trekked up a large hill, saw an awesome bird, and soaked up the sun while talking about cardboard bicycles (they're real). Given more responsibilities at work. New bangs.  And they're really fun. Dinner & dessert in the Circle with an old friend. Quality God ti

{Psalm 8}

What is man that You remember him, the son of man that You look after him? You made him little less than God and crowned him with glory and honor. Psalm 8:4-5  Oh my heart.  Sometimes, I am just straight up baffled at why the Lord desires to know me and use me and bless me and love me, because I just don't seem lovable enough.  But then I am grateful, because unworthiness the platform for grace .  So then, in my ugliness and chaos, I am in the perfect place to accept God's love.  Which is beautiful , because that's usually when I need love the most. I will always be grateful for this season of life.  It is definitely not where I imagined myself now, and it is definitely not how I would have planned it for myself, but it is so beautiful.  So desperately , perfectly beautiful, in a very countercultural way.  You see, I thought I'd be married right now.  I never set many career goals.  I never had any financial plans.  I just wanted to be married and a mom.  Wh

Striving.

-
There was a time in my life when God plucked me out of my comfort zone, and dropped me into a whole new environment.  I learned to rely on Him, trust Him, to look up to Him, much like when a child is scared or uncomfortable, they hold on tight to their parent's hand.  He taught me about grace and gentleness , patience and love .  My heart was light and full and bursting . But then, I was right back in a place I knew, and today I'm faced with the reality that I'm too comfortable again.  Today, I am burdened with the reality of my lack of grace .  In my striving to do well, I lost sight of people.  I was harsh.  I was uninviting.  My light was dim, and my love was small.  I was task-oriented before people-oriented.  I wanted to finish my job before serving. My heart was scrunchy and ugly today.  I was scrunchy and ugly today. In our striving, even striving for good things, we sin.  We stop relying on the Lord's strength, and tap into our own.  We lose sight o
