We escaped with only 52 seconds to go! Thanks be to Rory.
It took a few months, but this city is finally home. Grateful to be living part 2 of my story. ✨🌸✨
"When God gives you a vision and darkness follows, wait. Abram went through 13 years of silence, but in those years, all of his self-sufficiency was destroyed. He grew past the point of relying on his own common sense. Those years of silence were a time of discipline, not a period of God's displeasure. There is never any need to pretend that your life is filled with joy and confidence; just wait upon God and be grounded in him." -Oswald Chambers #word #ozzytruth
“May you find in yourself a courageous hospitality towards what is difficult, painful, and unknown. May you use this illness as a lantern to illuminate the new qualities that will emerge in you.” -John O’Donohue This poetry stanza stopped me in my tracks when I heard it read a couple weeks ago. Although my heart’s desire is to extend hospitality to others, I fall short at showing it to myself—to my body, my mental health, the current chapter in my story. Do I create a welcoming environment for what Christ is doing in my soul, or do I curse my suffering, pressure my own healing, and wrestle in anguish for the way I wish things were? Hospitality or self-hate? This doesn’t mean we don’t yank at heaven’s coattails. The Psalms display that we’re allowed to beg for healing and stir about restlessly in the kingdom that hasn’t fully arrived yet. But we might show the same grace as God does—welcoming whatever affliction he allows as a lantern to shed light on how it won’t always be this way.
