by christina britt lewis | photography by angela statzer the best stuff happens when the thing you think is supposed to happen... doesn't
whenever the thing i think is supposed to happen... doesn't my mom says... God has something better for you she has not been wrong yet. not when it comes to big things like homes and hearts and dreams. and not when it comes to little things like backwards books...  the store that the sweet texan opened early was all out of books we wanted for the living room and then we found this place...  seems like you can't get to the good stuff until after that hard stuff happens. like you wouldn't know it was the good stuff if not for the hard stuff. the shadow proves the sunshine.   you guys, the book title below... God's Unfolding Purpose i mean, c'mon  stuff like that gets me quoting some Jesus... ahem... look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God...  ...you count far more to him than birds...  ...what i’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving...  ...steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions...  ...don’t worry about missing out...  ...you’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met...  ...give your entire attention to what God is doing right now...  ...don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow...  God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. - Jesus in the book of matthew or as the avett brothers say... there's a darkness upon you that's flooded in light xo... christina for all Comments are closed.
