being drained, brokenness, and pure Joy...I'm a work in progress.

It has been a ridiculously draining past few days... Stuff just keeps happening that tries to make me focus on the temporary things rather than Jesus.

My head is filled with a lot of worries.

I am broken for a dear friend of mine who is having a hard time trusting Abba's precious heart.


EVERY. single. morning. something ridiculous happens. One morning my oatmeal literally EXPLODED all over my car (seats, ceiling, windows, carpet, etc).

Yet Abba keeps putting His hand out and saying, "This is nothing...Smile and grab onto My hand and let's go...Don't cry about it... Just trust Me. I am preparing you for what is to come..."

And really, I am literally overwhelmed at how GOOD Abba is... He is speaking words of absolute affirmation into my very soul. He is holding my heart, gently. He is loving me, passionately. He is protecting me, intensely. He is moving in my heart, greatly. And I can hardly wrap my mind around it. I have NEVER had Scripture come alive to me on a consistent basis like it is now... His Words truly are becoming my source of life.

And the world is trying to steal this joy away from me. Satan is trying to speak lies into my mind...But Abba is so much louder...And my heart is in the process of getting in tune with His Spirit.

He is working on my heart, stripping away the bad and cultivating the dreams that are His. He is changing what I want my life to look like. He is turning my plans upside down. He is showing me areas that I need to let Him heal...He is showing me that He wants to make me into a Proverbs 31 woman, in every aspect.
