Inside of Extreme Loving-Kindness

A six-month-old Daisy pup is like a 3-year-old toddler. Life is all about her. Affectionate, funny, misbehaving, plays hard, sleeps harder and looks so cute you don’t get much done because of all the cuddles. I learned this week that she actually likes the discipline of knowing her boundaries. She’s happier, more settled, and has surrendered her job of barking at everything that moves - to me. Could it be that I’m that way, too? Happier within a system that brings freedom to just be me and not feel I have to “do” but just “be”? God’s discipline of me has been inside of extreme loving-kindness that sets the boundaries of my own love and calling.
Psalm 143:8 - Let the dawning day bring me revelation of your tender, unfailing love. Give me light for my path and teach me, for I trust in you.

What Will You Say Yes To?

Many of us stretch our lives too thin. It goes on for a while and then we find ourselves sick, tired, emotionally and mentally drained. I felt like God said to me this year to stop spending so much time planning what to say "no" to and start intentionally discovering what I want to say "yes" to. Once I have determined that, there will be ample grace and power to wean out the things that are not "yes."

What are you saying "yes" to?

Luke 5:15-16 - Massive crowds continually gathered to hear him speak and to be healed from their illnesses. 16 But Jesus often slipped away from them and went into the wilderness to pray.
