Believing...



you know i've honestly never quite understood negativity.
but even more so after i began traveling extensively.
here in the reality we live in, there is always help...
we just have to figure out where it is and how we get to it.

there is:
no one too far gone...
no one not good enough...
no one beneath our help...
no one unworthy of our time...
NO, NOT ONE!

as i look into the faces of the treasures God has given us...
 my heart breaks at a deeper level...
 
the apparent level of my unconscious selfishness
(well let's be realistic, somewhere in there i am aware)
continues to bubble to the surface.

choosing to enter into their life journey with them...
has FOREVER changed mine.
its changed how we spend time, resources, energies,
and even who we spend them with.  

as we see our family grow together, pray together,
cry together, laugh together and learn together...
God changes us!

the past few years have been the hardest,
yet most rewarding we've ever been through. 
as we have learned about our treasures pasts...
it has made us plummet deeper into the crisis
of many women and youth in our sphere, 
 believing to our core that 
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD!

as i look at these pictures i celebrate the smiles
and remember every time someone said it was impossible...
every time someone sneered...
or simply wasn't interested at all...

women and children all over the place 
need God's people to believe
that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD
and
that NO ONE IS UNWORTHY of our time!

as i face my busy day today preparing for 
mothers day weekend...
it brings me to think of those that could use 
some encouragement as they are not facing the
same kind of weekend!


maybe in our excess we could reach out to them to share...
i believe without a doubt that is what Jesus would do!
