on repeat this week: Trust in You




[ Print’s FREE here: ]






At the end of the day, Lord — Cause us to see how You moved today. Set everything inside of us at peace now.


We trust You’re doing what’s best — when we can’t see Your hand, we’ll trust Your heart.


Keep us alive with what we need & let us give away the rest because this is what makes us fully alive.


Keep us in close company with You & keep us in forgiving company of others because we are in close company with You. Keep us bold enough to keep taking leaps of faith.


Keep us from safe lives — they are the most dangerous to our souls.


You’re in control & we take our hands off our lives! And as the world spins in Your hands tonight, we look up at stars & know You’re always all our Beautiful Light — Yes. Yes. Yes.


In the name of Jesus’ who loved us to death,

Amen






[excerpted from our little Facebook family … come join us each day?]


Dare to fully live!



That’s all for this weekend, friends.


Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.


Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again


Share Whatever Is Good.
