As Is


AS IS

I am AS IS.

I am all that I have been, am and will be.

AS IS.

I've had opportunities to share from my heart this week for families and children.  And...I'm humbled.   The empathy and perspective sowed in my life by heart ache, failure, inadequacy, exhaustion, poverty, rejection, brokenness held together by God....laid bare on the table.  As IS.

People just don't know what to do with me.  I don't fit neatly in a mold! That mold has been broken and put back together over and over again.  AS IS.

 All God wants us to be is...As Is.  In His capable hands.

What courage, boldness, passion, and decisiveness I have when I remember: He never leaves or forsakes me. He provides for my every need according to His riches in glory. My hope is to encourage you He hears your Heart's Cry too.

I took a walk with a three year old young man today.   His mama was frazzled and he was bored.  "Grab your shoes," I told him.  He ran to his Mom to get his shoes on and ran to the door.  After fixing the shoestrings and the coat was on the way he wanted and I showed him the edge of the sidewalk and where we would walk...we were off. A dried piece of weed draped across an edge of the sidewalk, and I bent down to check it out.  He followed my lead and bent in half beside me.  I broke a piece off and gave him half and continued on our way.  Have you ever took a walk with a toddler?  And looked at things the way they do?  The broken sticks in the gutter, the ice and the small patch of snowing clinging to life are all gold to these little explorers.   A little encouragement is all they need to sift for treasure along the way. A smooth stone sat contentedly on the driveway of a house.  I stopped to admire...
