T-5 to Launch

3 years since the Lu launch, 5 days until the Louisa launch, and I’d like to share a little something I’ve learned about inversion.

What if what you see is a fraction? You know, the onion principle, or if that imagery makes you cry, think of a rose.

What if what you see is a fraction because what I share is a fraction? Not because I’m a miser but because I’m growing in God’s likeness and who He is has no end? His holiness, his love, his grace and mercy – they run clear all the way through. He wills the same for us.

If I am to have words, they need to be his, which means I need to have his words in my mind, so much so that there’s a part of me that’s constantly turning them over. Where is a good word going to come from if not from this? As such, any writing is a draw – a break from the pursuit to share a fraction of what God shares with me.

I’m still early days, but I think this is what it means to present yourself as an offering. And like everything else God calls us to, it’s the opposite of what we’re told to do here. The world is a dying place. There’s a lot of fear. Of course people throw up a façade in the face of it.

God tells us to invert it.

Come on in. Close the door. Give me your best. I’ll tell you when it’s time to go back out again.
