Topping Off The Cup.

Colossians 1:9-10
"So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better."

Black berries burst between my fingers as I picked the juicy ones and carefully placed each foot to reach the best ones. Lara and I talked and laughed as we were trying to place ourselves to claim the best of the prizes that hung just far enough from our purple finger tips. This is something glorious that I hope continues as the seasons change here amongst the giants... Community.

Things are different. I can't place my finger on anything or anyone because they aren't here. Faces that I long to see at times yet am content in knowing that their seasons are meant to be different than mine. All the same it is different.

Why do we have different names? If we had different names would that make us different people? Bring us to different places, lives? How interesting to think that God has it all taken care of and how often we fight it or try to convince him other wise when all we can do is surrender it and pray for spiritual wisdom. To be consumed by his presence and just know that things are the way that they are for reasons unknown to us.

And how is it that God has the most incredible ways of over flowing you with an abundance of joy at the most incredibly unforseen times, lifting you up to new heights instantly shedding light on himself?! It's times like this I honestly don't understand how people could question anything in relation to trying to "prove" that God exists.

It is written in the leaves that fall and the words that are spoken.

And every day I am convinced all the more of His love and strength...And it is causing me to overflow and melt into the comforts of His hands and His plan as it continues to unfold...Each day as it is given.

Keep praying.
