Sublime Orchestration

Posted in Beliefs, Personal at 7:32 am by admin

Sometimes we get in slumps. Like the one I’ve been in for awhile. The weather has been awful. My house is a shambles. I spend most of my time hunched over a laptop trying to get a job done that never seems to have an end in sight. I’ve gained weight. Exhaustion is constantly nipping at my heels.

Life is complicated. And messy. And it hurts.

So yesterday evening my husband and I did the only thing we know to do. We prayed. It’s amazing how much sits in my heart and comes to the surface when I seek the Lord’s face. Makes me wonder why we don’t do it all the time. We’re crazy not to hunger and thirst for that communion like it’s the sweetest thing on earth.

And God performed a miracle. It’s that simple and profound. We are covered by His Grace and I can still feel  soft reverberations of awe, joy, and surprise. The sun came out yesterday. I had coffee with a friend who deeply encouraged me. And at the close of the day, after we had opened up our hands and given back to the Lord all that belongs to Him anyway, He turned around and blessed us in a very tangible way.

Thank you Jesus. You are faithful. You are good.
