sunny day sunday

when i was young, i didn't like sundays.
i always said, "i hate sundays!!!!!" to my mom.
which was short for
"i hate sundays because that means tomorrow's monday, i have to sleep early, wake up early, and face school for another week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
hate is a dangerous word.
and i was young.

i love sundays.
i love that i can freely worship Him.
i love that i can freely worship Him with other believers.
i love that i can listen to His Word through a pastor.
i love that i can just rest and rejoice in His Presence.
despite my circumstances.

i have changed.
that's what Jesus' love does to you!
ain't it crazy!

i'm so thankful for all my friendships.
they are all blessings from God.
they are all very beautiful and lead me closer to Him.
what is more beautiful than that...

one is in cambodia...probably sweating...dying from her neck cramps and her back aches. i know how much she can't stand heat. or the food or lack of food she can eat. the insects. i can't imagine. Holy Spirit, strengthen her with the crazy power and energy only you can offer.

one will be going to panama tomorrow...crazy battlefield..not only the people she's going to reach out to...but the people she's going to meet..going to serve with...even the battle within..and the heat..humidity so thick you can't tell whether it's raining or you're sweating...Lord, empower her and clothe her with your love, compassion, and grace. and make her shine even more and just use her big big heart that is always longing for you...

thank you for your Grace today.
thank you for loving us the same..perfectly..everyday..
no matter how much we screw up, you still see us made complete in Jesus.
you call us holy. you said it is finished.
that is too much grace.
that is amaaaaaaazing grace.
and i am amazed fosho.

thank you, again!

i love sundays.

You are too good to be true.

in Jesus' name.

amen.
