Quite contrary...

I woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep. I had the “Mary, Mary, quite contrary” rhyme in my head only it was a little bit different. I kept seeing these two trees. One tree sprouted life and the other death, even though it had some appealing fruit.
We are given choices in life. We can decide to accept lies or we can discover truth.

When we discover truth, it is like a light illuminating us from the inside out. In this moment, we quickly discover we’re more like craved up Jack o’ lanterns than whole pumpkins. Life has cut us apart and the light exposes every area we’ve tried to patch up.

Rather than back down and dim the light, that is the moment to let it shine that much brighter.


But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

I don’t like feeling flawed. Which is why most of my life I strived for perfection. I wanted to be the gold star kid, the non-rebellious teen, and the count on me worker. This strive only caused destruction internally and externally.
Perfection is not something we can achieve on this earth. In fact, the illusion of perfection causes separation from others and God. It’s okay for us to not be okay. Hard times are going to come, trials will come, illness will come, poverty will come, etc. But none of these deviations will last. They are only moments passing by that have the potential to make us grow.

God, help us seek out your truth. Amen.

    A New Identity

    What is this blog about? You mean, I'm supposed to have a purpose? Ok, if that's required then my purpose is life.

    ​This is my life...Searching for truth, ​one day at a time.
    ​I enjoy writing so sometimes that truth comes through storytelling. 

    Better with age...
