There is always more on my heart than words can say, but I find journaling my thoughts or prayers a great exercise & makes a record to view of memories & our history - I invite you to join me if you can relate to authentic life.

Happy to Say Goodbye

I am so thankful today for how God closed the door on a certain chapter in my life. I am thrilled to say 'Goodbye' to this experience. I can't even express the lightness in my heart concerning this. The way God worked through this circumstance and has ended it on such a sweet note gives me renewed hope and strength for the other challenges that are still ongoing.
I am so grateful that He picks me up when burdens are crushing, because, even though I have no reason to struggle with trusting Him, I still fail at it.  I am so grateful that He is full of mercy and gives me encouragement when my hope is floundering so I can continue on, singing with words like in the song below.

I'm Still Yours by Kutless

If You washed away my vanity
If You took away my words
If all my world was swept away
Would You be enough for me?
Would my beating heart still sing?

If I lost it all
Would my hands stay lifted
To the God who gives and takes away
If You take it all
This life You've given
Still my heart will sing to You
When my life is not what I expected
The plans I made have failed
When there's nothing left to steal me away
Will You be enough for me?
Will my broken heart still sing?

If I lost it all
Would my hands stay lifted
To the God who gives
And takes away
If You take it all
This life You've given
Still my heart
Will sing to You


Even if You take it all away
You’ll never let me go
Take it all away
But I still know

That I'm Yours
I'm still Yours
