I have been trying to hide from writing today. I have played around on pinterest and discovered all manner of tasty recipes and potential craft projects and read all manner of blogs and mainly saturated my brain. I think I will be lucky if I manage to put together any coherent thoughts, and there have been so many thoughts today. So many challenges to my attitudes and ways of being, and through fear, I have allowed them to whisper away. I shall try and make a list.
1. Thankfulness, and the way it can open up a life to the discovery of joy and glory in the everyday.
2. Prayer, and its power, and the fact that by prioritising our routine and busyness over it, we are making an idol of self.
3. A question of endings and beginnings and the two going hand-in-hand, and Christ winning, whatever the situation.
4. Grace.
5. The terror that lives in surrendering all to God. And the feeling that everything will be infinitely worse if I resist it.
6. This.
7. The superpower that is forgiveness and grace (again), and the way words can set people free.
8. Joy. 'If you are saved, inform your face.' - Unknown. Via (A Holy Experience)
9. 'I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.' - Perks of Being a Wallflower.
10. What's in a name? Am I Stephanie or Stevey? Does it even make a difference?
Yup, I definitely did a very good job of trying to break my brain.
