pouring

a wise woman once taught me that i needed to start out each day pouring out to God and pouring in of His Spirit, in order to pour forth into others.

pour out. pour in. pour forth.

it is time for me to put that into practice again.  because i have felt dried up with nothing to give.  not a good place.

pour out. pour in. pour forth.

and if i am not going to Him with my praise and confessions and thankfulness and petitions, then what?  who is getting them?

pour out. pour in. pour forth.

i am joining the nester and will be blogging every single day in october!

in 2013

this is my prayer for the new year.

in 2013, whatever i do, i will do it all to the glory of God.

and i am having a hard time being any more specific than that.  but i think that is a good problem to have.  how does one make resolutions in the wake of upheaval?  how do i dream up goals when so many of mine from last january were shattered to pieces?  

and how can i complain when all of this making small of me has made so much of Him?

 

so come what may in 2013.

here's to choosing joy regardless of circumstance and finding beauty in the most mundane - or extraordinary - of days.
