Turns outI love these girls.... not really a surprise and yet with all my anxiety from yesterday maybe it is..
Turns out, I continue to make everything about me and miss more than just opportunites with them to be a friend.....
Turns out when you listen to You and them, you make a little less about everything about you.
Turns out it's easier to be quiet than I thought and in being quiet you hear more about them
Turns out in hearing more about them you learn more and in the learning pray more
Turns out the journey is way more than I ever dreamed and that I am way more judgemental than I knew
Turns out that in realizing that, I need You more and in that needing You never fail to show up
Turns out I want to, NEED to, remain in THAT needing
Turns out in the quiet is where I hear more
Turns out I think You're speaking all the time and I simply have to lean more and more into the hearing
Turns out you really cannot give away what you don't have and it turns out I can have it one moment and lose it the next and turns out THAT that doesn't surprise You, only me.
Turns out no matter how much I screw up and fail and disappoint others and myself You don't stop loving me, turns out that is becoming quite the motivator.
Turns out You never quit tho I might
Turns out You don't need me and yet LOVE ME
Turns out in that realization I more and more love others...not right away maybe like You'd really like but I do and that as it turns out is pretty darned amazing
Turns out no matter what ....You are gonna do what You are gonna do and that I am beginning to want that MORE than anything feels like HOPE
Jude 20-21 But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God's love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life!
22-23 Go easy on those who hesitate in the faith. Go after those who take the wrong way. Be tender with sinners, but not soft on sin. The sin itself stinks to high heaven.
24-25 And now to him who can keep you on your feet, standing tall in his bright presence, fresh and celebrating—to our one God, our only Savior, through Jesus Christ, our Master, be glory, majesty, strength, and rule before all time, and now, and to the end of all time. Yes.
