I am not perfect.
I am redeemed.
I am in process.
I like to have control. a lot.
Living and Speaking the Truth, in Love, is where Freedom is found.
God is the One patient with me, not the other way around.
I don't have to be strong enough.
My faith doesn't have to be strong enough.
The Object of my faith IS strong enough.
I need rest. play. friends. projects. peace. sleep.
It's ok if arriving at a goal takes my whole life: Small steps matter.
I'm not energized by people, so getting alone time isn't rejecting a relationship, but rather, caring for it.
I need to pour in, if I want to pour out. "Be filled": an active receiving.
If I can't meet my own needs in this season, then receiving help - even from extra black tea - is ok.
Pursuing wants can be a beautiful and blessed part of Ordinary Life.
I have never been so inclined to run over read, so why stress that I'm still that way? Pursuit of Health is enough.
Boundaries are from Jesus. Such is where Freedom grows!
I may have to be "on" 24/7 as a mom, but I can no longer expect that I'll only get refill time a part from my Mom hat. ::learning how to give and receive at the same time::
Small steps matter. Even the REALLY small ones.
Jesus is passionate about the unrecognizable acts of service done in His name. Attitude matters. A lot.
Comparing sucks. Stop doing it.
I don't need to apologize (or be embarrassed) for who God has made me to be.
Such are some things I've been learning over the past months. More thoughts and details to follow, but I wanted to get in the blogging mode again. Hope to see ya'll again sooner than February!
p.s. I've been having fun painting :)
p.p.s. I got a new tat :) :) "Truth" from John 8:32. and the flower is an orchid: "Perfection.Christ's blood"
