oh how we love this one! on repeat over and over and over again…


[from our Facebook community – join us?]

… so, yeah, we may not know how tomorrow’s going to go,
but we could lean on the One who always goes before us & already knows.

And, yeah, we may not have the foggiest idea how we’re going to make it,
but there’s a Hand that reaches through the fog, takes ours & He makes a way —
because that’s His name. *He is The Way.*

And, honest, though we may be downright weary of the heartbreaks,
the headlines, the hard roads, God cups our faces:
He doesn’t demand us to carry the weight of understanding everything —
He only asks we stand close to Him & let Him undertake everything.

God never lays the weight on you to be amazing.
He only invites you into the most profound choice in all the universe: Rest.

Rest in His strength to do it,
rest in His ways above ours,
rest in Him who is with you, in you & is 100% for you.

Leave all the amazing to Him.

And His Amazing Grace finds us where we are right now and is taking us —
even right now — where we’ve only dreamed.


That’s all for this weekend, friends.

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.

Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again

Share Whatever Is Good.
