Where I'm at


Happy Friday!!!
Did you have time to read my short thoughts on joy yesterday? As I'm sitting here writing, those 
thoughts are coming back to me. Holy, wow I am so,SO, Sthankful that I know
  Jesus and that he's with me always. I'm thankful that he is bigger than anything I can imagine
 and my small brain can't even fathom all the things he is capable of doing. I don't know if you've
 felt a bit of a different tone in my writing this week. I feel it's shown it self a bit. I do have some
 personal things going on right now, that have brought on some new and different thoughts and
 feelings. The details aren't important to share right now, but I felt I did need to be upfront and real 
with you all about where I'm at. With the blog being titled Imperfectly Perfect I can not present a
picture of only perfection in my life. But really, in the midst of that crap I know that I'll be ok. 
because God's got me, and he's giving my joy in the midst of my storm and for that
thankfulness is an extreme understatement.
God seriously can sustain you. It's not a joke or a myth...I'm experiencing it,
 and that's why my friends that book I'm holding right there has become my best buddy. 
It's usually my morning and evening companion. You need hope? Find the zillion promises
God has for you in there...need encouragement? Read about how big God is and how he
works miracles. Need to feel love? Read about how Jesus died for you because he wanted
you to have relationship with your God, who adores you. 

I realize as I write this that this might not apply directly to many of you, but it might apply
to just one, and this is why I share. 

So what's on your agenda's for the weekend? I'm not sure what's in store for me yet.
I hope that you all have fun, laugh, enjoy those you love and are blessed!
I'll see ya back here next week. 
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
 Love never fails.

So true- I've definitely felt myself sustained through sheer darkness by God and His Word. Including current life. So glad to know you are reaching out to Him through your trials. Praying for ya :)
