Life is often about the little things.
The silly shaped clouds, the flappy dog outside your house and sometimes (if you try hard enough) – the pile of dishes that you are washing.
And the little things often speak more of life than the occasional grand moments that we pursue so hard after.
The story of Deborah can be found in Judges 4 and 5. She is termed as a Mother in Israel, one who arose when there was a time of much oppression and difficulty (Judges 5:6-7). Deborah inspires me because she not only knew the time and season she was in, she arose when the time was right and knew exactly what to do!!
What does freedom mean to you?
For me its to live as I was meant to live, to fully live out what God created me to be.
These few days, I’ve been learning the importance of having freedom in community.
I used to see freedom as wanting to go somewhere far far away to hide myself from the face of the earth. To be isolated from problems and troubles and drama and conflict. But I’m discovering that true freedom comes in being able to love and be loved. Being able to overcome despair and disappointments and love again.
The project seemed simple enough, use 3 or so colours, and paint a heron flying in the sky.
Only that I kept adding stuff until the painting reached a really ugly stage, like an almost unsavable stage in watercolour…
Who is this is King? This easter, Christians talk about Jesus, but who is He, and what does He have to do with our lives? Let me today give you four pictures of who Jesus is as King this Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. May you be blessed as you get to know this King.
