There is Sweetness in this Journey


There is no limit to what God will do when we trust Him to be at work through difficult times.  He sees the ingredients of trust as no small thing. 

Sometimes we feel flattened, pressed far too thin, as if something rolled right over us.  We were caught off guard—life is inevitably like that sometimes.  We still have a choice of what to do now.  We offer ourselves before Him, as laid out as we are feeling, knowing Him to be good.  The reminder of truth brings us strength.  God covers us with the oil of grace. 

Sometimes we are in a season where day after day seems to roll us flat.  Yet He is not absent.  He is not unaware of the challenge and is moved by the sweetness of the everyday offering He sees when we are willing look challenges in the face and trust Him.  He will waste none of this offering.  Trust Him.  You will be amazed at what will be built as you do.  All the layers of feeling flattened, of His oil of grace, of the sweetness of trust, of the nuttiness of life (for we aren’t in denial). 

The picture He gave me to go with this was a beautiful piece baklava.  And even though I couldn’t fine one to post here, I will have that image with my coffee this morning.
