It feels a little funny to have moved from Montana eight weeks ago, then visit for three weeks, and then come home to Washington again. I'm a little jumbly right now, which is ok! And I realize that today, just as most others days in this crazy transition time, I need encouragement. I need to read Gospel-cenetered, truth declaring, soul-filling words. I find these words in the Bible, from people in my life, and I also find them on the internet - written by wise, real women who are also desperate for Jesus.
"...as a human living among humans, your job is one of an artist, not a know-it-all or an expert."
Hope Defined: Tied to Brokenness - Sweetwater.
"Maybe brokenness and hope aren't oppositional. Maybe. Just maybe they are symbiotic."
When You're Waiting - Grace Covers Me.
"It takes courage to wait on the Lord."
We Are Free to Rest - Naptime Diaries.
" Rest is a graceful gift and that means we can't (and shouldn't try to) earn it."
Because It Really Does Take A Village - Thrive Moms.
"Moms, did you hear me?! We cannot mother alone (and stay sane)!"
Prayer (We Don't Know How) - Life. Edited.
"How can we pray for you when our every thought of you is a prayer?"
I encourage you to visit these women and their words of truth. Upon reading these pieces this week, I felt more free, less alone, and encouraged to lean fully on Jesus. I think there may be something there for you, too.
