🚨NEW BLOG POST✨: Another installment in this series looking at emotions {link in bio}. ⠀ •⠀ •⠀ For those who have felt sorrow, you know how devastating it is. You've hit rock bottom and look at where you're at. The sinking feeling in your gut tells you if you don't catch a glimpse and evaluate, you won't be able to come back from it. But looking isn’t the easiest thing.⠀ •⠀ •⠀ I know the feeling. It's one of those feelings that is near impossible to explain.⠀ •⠀ •⠀ I went to Houston recently, only the second time being back since Hurricane Harvey hit last year. Cities give off vibes. The vibe I got this time from Houston was the same one I got from New Orleans—the feeling that sorrow had been felt but everyone was coming back stronger for it. God was bringing them back stronger for it. And the relationships being built through the help offered...invaluable. This was even part of the church service during my time there 🙌🏻⠀ •⠀ •⠀ If you have felt sorrow, know you're not alone. And also know that there is freedom in leaning on your people and you'll all be stronger for it 💞
This girl...she is a tangible reminder of how much an imperfect human can love another imperfect human 💜⠀ •⠀ •⠀ If you are one of those who loves as fearlessly as they can, then you can relate to the feeling of giving everything you can and then some. Maybe that sounds a little too scary or fearful for some, to give everything you can to make sure others are cared for, loved, wanted. But for me, it's one of the things that makes me happy, gives me context to cherish my spiritual gifts, lends gratitude toward God for making me the way He did. ⠀ •⠀ •⠀ So this girl, this beaufitul niece of mine, is a reminder to love fearlessly, to love even to the point of knowing I still can't love as fiercely as Christ does...and that's OK. Because when my love can't be enough, His can. If we can't be grateful for that, I'm not sure how well we'll do being grateful for other things ✨
