#yesterdayiwasthankfulfor

all things great & small, open & closed, good & bad... because even if i can't stand up, His grace inside of me will... despite a super crazy month with sh*t hitting the fan and moments of instability... the overwhelmingness cannot get anymore worse... 

for the most part, to the ones close and treasured... your presence and unfailing grace is appreciated greater than what i did before... love you all above and beyond... especially le famileee and le sisterhood... i feel so undeserved...

so, what goes down... must come up... guess all the blessings around me are previews of brighter days to come. whatever form and timing it maybe... being emotionally drained can be a good thing, as it does give off more room of clarity...

as the stretching continues... You're the only one i can hang on to... or more so, You're hanging onto me... knowing that i am at breaking point, which is somewhere that i'd never ventured before...  first time i have experienced this severity of lifelessness... but, it ain't the end. 

for now, i need a: b r e a k.

this little fella. pugs are love.

|| Love never gets lost ||

"God's love is meteoric, His loyalty astronomic, His purpose titanic, His verdicts oceanic. Yet in his largeness nothing gets lost; Not a man, not a mouse, slips through the cracks. How exquisite your love, O God! How eager we are to run under your wings, To eat our fill at the banquet you spread as you fill our tankards with Eden spring water. You're a fountain of cascading light, and you open our eyes to light" (Psalm 36)

-----

the living proof of heaven on earth, is the grace we are willing to live out. we are not here to shine through the eyes of men, as they are easily swayed with human perfection. no more living and pleasing the standards of simpletons, because even those go quickly as it comes. 

my attitude now is birthed from the undeserving acceptance from the One who calls me not by title, nor paper, nor status, nor influence, nor capabilities, but by my name. and that is more than enough for me to carry on.

we touch heaven, and change earth, by the power of His grace and unity as one body. when we start looking at everyone as one compared to respective individuals, our altitude changes.

bring on the grace revival sweeping through this land. actually, He already is.
