Beauty in the Broken

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

John 10:10 NIV

Each afternoon I lay next to my youngest son until he falls asleep for his nap. It is a sweet and precious time and one that I am cherishing more with my last baby. He just turned four in November and he is not so much a baby anymore. He is rapidly growing into a confident little man.

One afternoon recently as we cuddled, we had a very serious four year old initiated conversation.

We talked about how God made people, Adam and Eve and the “bad apple” and how they were kicked out of Eden. We talked about how Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again and we talked about Heaven.

“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:16-20‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I Will Sing

November 23, 2015 by Heather Mitchell 8 Comments

“Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭63:7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Waiting can echo with a resounding emptiness. It can seem too quiet, as if nothing is happening or ever will.

Even so, I know that God is moving. He goes before me and he is making a way. I know this because I can see fingerprints of His faithfulness all throughout my life. He has never failed me and He never will. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Yet, there are days when the silence in this waiting becomes maddening. I feel as if I am scrambling, in search of something “to do” or to control, to lessen the wait. At the end of these days, I have felt nothing but defeat. My heart weary and restless. I am unable to even pray, I have exhausted all my emotional energy, all my words.

It is in these moments, I am choosing to quiet my heart, surrendering any illusion of control. Lifting hands and voice in praise to My God, My Jesus.
