Living in the Storm: In Him We Live

*can't sleep*

"In Him we live, and move, and have our being" Acts 17:28

while sharing mom's story with someone today i reflected on how it is that we "go on" as things continue to digress at such an expedient rate.

the answer?

IN HIM!

on the days when it all seems to heavy and unbearable we love on, we live on..

IN HIM!

when breathing in and out seems like way too much, we move on...

IN HIM!

when excruciating decisions must be made, our entire being is found..

IN HIM!

it is by Him, through Him, because of Him, we get out of bed and rage against a disease we would not wish on our worst enemy.

if you do not know Him. if you think are satisfied without Him. if you think you do not need Him. if you think that the storms that life throws your way can be fought any other way than through His power; i beg of you
to reconsider.

He is everything, everything to me.

lucy was yelling at the top of her lungs tonight, "i love Jesus, i love Jesus, i love Him so!!!"

a lump welled in my throat and my soul screamed, " i love Jesus, i love Jesus, i love Him so!!!'

if you want to know "how" we are making... we are making it...

IN HIM!

that's it. that's the end of the story. that's the final chapter.

living, moving and being WITH Him is the living water that floods this thirsty heart.

please, please, don't go on without Him.

find Him.
trust Him.
belong to Him.
let Him heal the deep scarred, uncharted parts of your heart.
relinquish all of yourself to Him.
let your thirst be quenched by Him.
let your longing be filled by Him.
let your questions be answered by Him.
let Him bring you peace; real, restful peace.
let Him offer you joy-unending.
let Him redeem you.
let Him secure you.
let Him hold you.

in Him, live and move and have your being!
