kate and courage

I opened up my iPhone case long enough to read the little message Kate Spade sends to all her customers.

It made me so grateful to know it's not up to me to muster up the courage needed to conquer it all. It's been conquered, it's been done. And true courage, I'm finding is letting go of me long enough to let God truly take control. That's what Christ did, so I will too today.

I took a moment today to glance up at the clouds. Their speed made my hustled life slow down and their majesty sparked the reminder of just how small I am. Thankful for unexpected quiet moments.

As I reflect on a new age and a birthday that is far closer to 30 than it is to 20, I am tickled by the beauty I have witnessed, the miracles of life and transformation I get to take part in daily, and the humbling refinement Jesus can do on a heart like mine in a year. As I draw near to the refreshment of simplicity, Jesus, to me, can be summed up with 3 words in the 25 of years past...                           he was there.
