Cut Yourself Some Slack

It's been over three years since I've posted on here. Clearly, I have no future in being a professional blogger! I'm even beginning to doubt the call to write anything at all. But I should probably cut myself some slack.

Sometimes our desires and dreams are muted by the gale-force winds of life. You go into survival mode and just believe you'll get back to do amazing things when you come out on the other side.

But here's what I've realize - we're doing amazing things when we're simply putting one foot in front of the other when walking through the middle of a storm. We have to cut ourselves some slack.

The last three years have been consumed with life-changing storms. When I start to list the challenges, heart breaks and battles that ended in victories - I'm amazed. What a testimony we have been building. There's so much the Lord has taught us. So many spiritual muscles have been strengthened. And other places we trust in the Lord to bind up the holes left in our hearts.

I should cut myself some slack...and so should you.

I'll write here one day soon. Today is possibly the still, small voice of my writer's heart trying to find its voice again.

It has a lot to say. And today it's simply wanting to encourage you to cut yourself some slack. Rest in the Lord.
