Post Of The Week From Around These Parts:

What happens when you’ve kinda reached your limit? When you’re kinda at the edge of things? When you’re right there at the edge of hope, at the very brink of dreams, at the cliff of prayers…

And we’ve found that unwavering faith splits the waves to make a way right to where we really want to be, right into the arms of God

This way forward is changing everything:

“There’s work here that only You can do
So God hear our prayer breaking through
Come, breath of God”


[from our Facebook community – join us?]

…you know how you’re sticking with it & doing that hard thing?
You’ve just gotta know, you don’t stand alone, you don’t walk alone, you don’t go alone:
“But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength” 2. Tim4:17

And nothing can happen today that will stop Him from sticking right there with you
& giving you strength to do this thing.

There is nothing to fear today —
because there is nothing, not mess-ups, not distractions, not less-than-hoped-fors, nothing in the universe that can happen today to separate you from the loving hands of God.

There is nothing to fear no matter what —
because there is nothing, not sickness, not pain, not diagnosis, Not Even Death, nothing in the universe that can ever separate you from the loving hands of God.

There is Never. Anything. to fear —
because there is Nothing in the universe that can Ever. separate. you. from the loving hands of God.

So Go Live Brave! His Love Makes You Brave!


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
