The more I grow distant from the affairs of this world and tune my heart with the desires of heaven the more unbearable it seems to live on this earth and be confined to this earthly body with it's abundance of limitations and sinful attributes. The more I focus on the goodness of God and am overwhelmed by His holiness, the more frustrated I am by the fickleness of my own heart and the imperfections of others who's sin hurts me more deeply. This discontent is holy. But sometimes in this participation in His sufferings I neglect to drink deeply of the cup of The Lord and instead of drawing on His strength in the midst of my weakness, I drink from the cup they offered Him on the cross to numb His pain. And so reckon myself numb to His peace and comfort.

He has my heart, and I'm on the best adventure with him. This is my place to share some of the random thoughts in my head as I experience life, love and faith. I hope you are encouraged and inspired to find and create beauty and life wherever you are.
