Quiet the Chaos, Honor Your Story
Life, reflection, and aging. If mid-life is here, what I am in it?
One word in the Bible repeatedly shouts at me, and the repetitive reminder requires us to both be active and to stop and listen, all in one word: perseverance- doing something despite difficulty and delay in achieving success.
We are simply here. In a confusing and quiet place. We both accept the reality, we both choose to get through it, together.
What makes a person unable to experience the peace in being silent with oneself?
The topic of mental health is a difficult one, especially in the Christian community. I strongly believe Christians fully accept mental health as an essential dialogue within the church. They have lovingly wanted to embrace the difficulties of such topics as depression, suicide, bipolar, anxiety, and the many other ailments under the umbrella of mental health illnesses.
Please remember October 10th is #WorldMentalHealthDay
With each breath I’m taking in. Anchored by invisible weights Chains rattle, and tears fall. The crowd has gathered, I see each face.. But see nothing here at all.
Who I am on the inside will never be determined by this world. It is determined by the glory of a God our eyes can't handle, and our minds can't comprehend. A God who loves beyond the limits and boundaries of human love. A God who is completely available, always punctual, and forever reliable.
My younger years, when I had yet to meet Jesus, oh the sin, it sits in my mind like a heap of dirt in a field. He forgets, but I struggle.
Invincible will never describe me. I am not super human, or super strong, or super anything. I am Lisa- humble, quiet, reserved, and meek. This world can be intimidating and scary even. Filled with fierce determination and absolute faith, this world remains small in the presence of my God.
You see, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. In many cases, I assumed I could 'fix' the world because I know I have that power. But I cannot.
