Seasons

We're prepping for a rummage sale and while it feels amazing to cleanse ourselves of excess, I can't help but look at the tiny baby clothes and outgrown toys and feel a little sad. I've worked to be present and enjoy each moment, yet it still doesn't seem like enough--time slips by too quickly! In these times I recall Ecclesiastes 3:1...there is a time; a season. God knows how long babies need to be babies and how long big kids need to be big kids...it is mine alone to love them no matter the season.

Spirit of Fear

The events in Charlottesville, VA this last weekend brought a lot of fear into a lot of hearts, myself included. It isn't enough for me to be reminded that God has not given us a spirit of fear...to "fear not" as we're told throughout scripture...I need MORE. And Timothy gives it to me; to us. We have power, we have love, we have strong minds that were put in us from day one. When we feel that fear creep up, when our hearts pound and our voices catch in our throats, let us remember that THAT doesn't come from God. Power. Love. Strong minds. THOSE come from God.

Patience is LOVE

I doodled this today while I waited for a client to arrive...we'd communicated the wrong date to one another so I needed to wait about 20 minutes. Sure, I had other things that needed my attention today and I easily could have been annoyed, but I honestly wasn't. This verse reminds me that being patient isn't just "nice" and a "good" virtue to have, at its root, it's LOVE.  While the practical applications of patience might be difficult in the moment, love seems to come a little more naturally.
