Hard Moments

Impossible is such a hard word.
you don't realize it till you're right in the middle of it.
impossible is just something that hasn't been done before.
so it looks scary. and fear paralyzes.
and you get stuck.
and if you are a perfectionist, if you've still got an ounce of legalist in you, well, you want to do everything right the first time, no mistakes and no falling flat on your face.
because the world's watching... at least, your family's watching, your friends, and whoever else is in sight.
yet, the last thing I want is the condemnation of the naysayers. the ones who wouldn't understand and wouldn't try to. yet my fear has already condemned me. I worry what they will say and do and in my mind I am already condemned by them and it hasn't even happened yet. my fear has done it...they won't have to.
  There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus.
   who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1
So will I walk in the flesh? walk condemned?
or stop and walk in the Spirit? stop and place my hand in His?
    For, if God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31
No One. Not even Ourself. 

on my own, will I falter. I will fall, leaning on my own understanding.
its when I lean on Him. when I know that I am weak but He is strong.
when I know, without a shadow of doubt,
that the sufferings of this present time is not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18
when I know that He is taking me through a hard moment to unveil a heart more like His.
when He is making perfect. whole.
He is making all things beautiful in HIS time, for
every thing there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.

Write Your Story

Oh God, won't You write Your story on my heart?

I love this song.

It has become my anthem, my song. 

It's echoing in my mind and heart each day I wake.

I want God to be brilliantly, emphatically, without a shadow of doubt, all over my life.

I want to live the impossible story because only with God the impossible is no more.

I want them to see Him.

Look at me, but see Him.
