Balance

First off, please forgive me for not blogging...It has been a LLLlloooooonnnG break since blogging,lol... and alot has happened and alot hasnt happened. In terms of sameness...life was consumed by work and travelling almost every 2 weeks for usually a weeklong...I definitely learned first hand the whole life is a solo-journey and we are fortunate to connect and interact with people along the way. The blessings of these journeys have been just that...to meet people, to observe life as it happens outside of familiarity...the certainty of time passing.

The only way I can sum up the past two months is...life waxes and wanes, but through it all 2 Cor 9:8 and Tenth Avenue North's Times... Sometime we meet seemingly insurmountable obstacles that leave us overwhelmed and sometimes beaten, broken, and in tears...yea, 2 weeks ago...all I could write in my journal was "Today = I survived"... As I reflect on it, sure it seems like it was no biggie, I'm still standing...But going through it.. 2 Cor 9:8 was all I could cling unto even in tears, anger, frustration...

My Prayer for you is that when life starts taking swings at you...grab a hold of a simple scripture and stand full of conviction upon the fact that your GOD is GREATER! Nothing whether good or bad shall exhalt itself higher than the knowledge of Our Great God...Adonai, Elohim, El Shaddai, Jireh, Rappha, Shammah, Nissi...He is the Great I AM...an active, ever present, Almighty God who has promised to be Your God. Let Him show You how to balance in this crazy world and in turn discover the beauty of true surrender that leads to complete, total dependency :-)

Most Gracious God...Thank You that You are more than enough for every life's circumstance. Like the Psalmist says in 139, You know everything about me, my thoughts, my worries....but GREAT are Your thoughts towards me! Thank You for the trying days when all I can muster is a help me God and Your Grace sees me through. Help me remember that You called me and have equipped me for every good work. I thank You for helping me understand the value of perseverance and sharing in the suffering of Christ...Your Grace truly is enough. Thank You. Amen.
