Psalm 13

 I’m realizing that God is reminding me life isn’t a popularity contest. It’s a one on one journey with Him. If everyone on this Earth didn’t understand me, yet He did, I’ve succeeded. It’s okay not to follow a crowd. It’s okay to be misunderstood. It’s okay to take a stand even if you’re the only one doing it. I’m learning what feeds me versus what drains me. 

Some of us are better served when we use critical thinking. Some of us need to detach from a world that is so far from the love of the Lord, it’s leaving me stumbling. Some of us are realizing that some atheists live out the love of Christ better than people of faith. Some of us is me. 

My season of wrestled agitation is teaching me something peace never could. It’s teaching me patience, not because I’ve asked for it. No, God is giving me what I never wanted, but have needed since my arrival in the world. 

Something or someone led me to Psalm 13. Lord, this is where I’m at right now. I’m exhausted yet finding peace because the Author of my faith is taking control of what I’m no longer able to happily possess.

Play Doh

 My brain is a hodgepodge of miscellany right now. Trying to discipline myself to read the Bible, the devotional, be a better human being, manifest the good life. Let me tell you, I fall of the wagon every day it seems. The only thing that seems to center my brain is a childhood activity.  Play Doh is resurrecting my soul. No sacrilege to Jesus. Play Doh is allowing me to indulge a childhood passion to create. The pressure to create with that smelly concoction is not one of perfection, but mindless joy that is surprisingly bearing fruit.  I can roll that colorful confection in any way I please. If there is a mistake, it’s easy to fix, and if not its cheap enough, I don’t fret. I will gladly spare a few dollars at the Wally World to get some more. I don’t know if this will be the summer of rediscovering God through childhood joys.  You don’t want me to chase you. You want me to just be. Rest may be the hardest, yet most vital lesson I learn and relearn daily. With God...
