one grass blade at a time makes a lawn
one yes at a time adds up to a beautiful life of laid down loving
little yes’ add up. like breaths add up to a lifetime, cells & atoms compose creation, cents make a million, seeds sow to orchards, & seconds tick to century, little yes’ to God count, create a life of rest & praise pleasing to Jesus. like these seeds & cents, our lives matter. our tiny daily choices matter—what we choose to think, what we do with our time, how we treat others, how we steward what we’re given, how we respond to the love of God. it all matters. it all adds up.
& it starts with one yes.
one yes in response to God’s yes to us. then another, another, another yes! little by little, more & more, we draw near to the Lover, & we are changed. made to be like Him, from glory to glory, from faith to faith.
so rest. submit to God. live in His yes, to you.
& you will find a life of abundance in His Holy Spirit. a life of peace. of joy & of so much more than you can ask, think, or imagine.
He wants to do this & He waits for your yes. God delights to see the work begin.
today is the day of salvation. the day to be, belong, receive.
so rest.
say Yes
Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin. Zechariah 4:10
The strong right arm of the Lord is raised in triumph. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things! I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the Lord has done. The Lord has punished me severely, but he did not let me die. Open for me the gates where the righteous enter, and I will go in and thank the Lord. These gates lead to the presence of the Lord, and the godly enter there. I thank you for answering my prayer and giving me victory! The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see. This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Please, Lord, please save us. Please, Lord, please give us success. Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord. We bless you from the house of the Lord. The Lord is God, shining upon us. Take the sacrifice and bind it with cords on the altar. You are my God, and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will exalt you! Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. Psalms 118:16-29
the upright enjoy acceptance.
Proverbs 14:9
I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
Psalm 16:8
on the day you die, what will you regret?
think about it.
change it now, while there is still time…
dancer of my dreams
juicy love story more beautiful than sunrise
flush fresh air
lungs gasp flowers—
first time!
lily tulip rose tune
music erupt
toe smile
I know you
this hug home—
my best Friend,
God!
each inside joke
between us
secret laughter
sparkle sprinkle confetti
the salt to my soup
rain to my fields
my gills in ocean
bread to my sandwich
oh! You!
I can’t explain love
but love’s my life
my reality
I experience You every second—
knight rescue,
dragon drooling last breath
because You
came
delighted in me
dream too good to be true
fairy tale realized
You’re the snow globe I’m never gonna leave
my safe space my husband and security
I LOVE YOU
You don’t get in accidents
You don’t spill or change
the only One i’ll never have to forgive
my Lover is perfect
Hallelujah, earth friend! find your gold with me—the live forever hidden treasure box, it exists!!
the only thing—treasure is a person not a thing. make Him your one thing & life will change. daily puking will disappear. you’ll never need to walk on your elbows again—no more orphaning
you’ll be safe for first time. from drowning to dancing, that’s what King does, who King is
let’s get lost in the maze of His gaze
escape to other space
