God sees every person with hopeful dignity.
Like precious anointed royalty ...
Like precious morning dew ...
It is so unlike the way we quickly lose hope within calamity.

Rad
As a perpetual student of joy, I am most riveted to its source.

Gift Wrap
The seal of Christ's loyal love is nestled deep in prayer.
When a child of God talks to the Heavenly Father, three things are guaranteed:
The bad things will become good.
The good things will never be taken away.
The best things are yet to come.
Jonathan Edwards understood this deeply.
My daughters ... arm-locked by Christ's gracious mercy.

Like hair when cut is identity when reclaimed.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image.
We have to allow the trimming of what stunts.

heaven kisses earth.
Such staggering grant finds its authorship in Christ alone.

No one escapes orientation.
The substance of what we imbibe flows from some mind.
Unlocking is best cued by the ONE who knows best.

Nibble
A pastor recently taught me a dietary lesson.
The true culprit of spiritual atrophy is sweet pie.
The constant nibbling at the world's table slays our appetite for God.

Deep
Once in a while you come across a personal confession that takes you into the depths.

until
we find rest in the road less traveled.
Bianca's Sandals / Diwa Dolls
Cravings
There lies a deep hunt from every human soul.
We crave for that which will truly satiate our toil.
Every whiff of sweet speaks of this trek.
Delusion
Aim for the stars and that's all you get.
Go for heaven ...
and the stars are thrown in for free.
