i need You

Exhaustion is hitting me. I feel like I'm running into a brick wall. I'm cranky. I'm on the brink of breaking down.

"When suffering's all that I see, may I walk with You by faith and not by sight."

thank You

You loved me before You said, "Let there be light."

You knew me before I was formed in my mother's womb.

You sacrificed Your Son before I heard of You.

You wanted me before You were my heart's desire.

You were ready to embrace me before I needed You.

You had the answers before I asked.

You already won the battles before I faced them.

Now..."I come before You today and there's just one thing that I want to say. Thank You, Lord." -Don Moen

God's flying flowers

I saw something magical this afternoon: two butterflies flying together. In the span of a few seconds, they captivated me with their gracefulness that I forgot all the anxieties in my heart. It's so wonderful that the God who made it possible for those butterflies to fly is crazy in love with me.

i'll sink without You

I was doing QT this morning when I read this verse: "I will set his hand over the sea, his right hand over the river."-Psalm 89:25. Then I remembered my dream from last night.

It was like a waterfall and a tsunami fused together. Children as young as three were splashing in the waters as the tidal waves were building up. When the waves came crashing down, the children jumped in sync with them and none drowned. I watched this scenario with fear from a narrow ledge along a wall when I noticed a man, possibly around his mid-30s, standing several feet ahead of me. It seemed to me that he was controlling the waves and giving cues to the children on when to jump. I could see mirth and joy in the faces of the children, all of them trusting the man in authority. Next thing I knew, I was with a young boy who began splashing water at me, laughing all the while. The boy's face and his clothes glowed like the sun. I couldn't help but think how much he resembled a heavenly angel. I forgot that I was afraid of the waves earlier. In this young boy's presence, I could only feel peace.

Oh God, my God, I am in awe of the ways You reveal Yourself to me.
