What is it about coffee shops that bring such calmness to the soul? It's sometimes like sitting in the thick of Jesus. Though I'm most positive that sitting with-in Jesus will be nothing that can be topped.
There are times in your life, I feel like we think we've seen it all. And then you move somewhere and again life is revealed to you in surprising, unpredictable ways with amazing people in amazing company in a location God planned for all along.
What if I had held back? What if I said no to Gods asking and leading and pushing? His spurring. These things and many others would not have been revealed. It is within this atmosphere we can feel most content with whatever we are experiencing. Whatever we currently encounter. Indie folk mixing with aroma of coffee and espresso in dim soft light as guitars are strummed and words flow through cords.
I have come to understand and praise God for doing the same things with His words and how He can and does do the same kinds of inspiring. It's amazing how lyrics of songs can spark so much in us as if the singer had insight into our lives. Though it is by chance and similar occurrence in life paths and chapters that God writes for reasons unknown. But God speaks to us and holds us more closely and tenderly than a song that tugs heart strings and lyrics that seemingly speak our souls. And though these songs often inspire, when they end we can't help but yearn for more. Hence why repeat buttons were invented.
The songs that God creates in us just like David and his harp, the finished product plays for all of eternity, never ending.
"joy and gladness will be found there. Songs of thanksgiving will fill the air"- Isaiah 51:3
"It was the sinful persecution he endured at the hands of the wicked that brought forth his cries for God's help. The Davids faint hope in God's goodness blossomed into full songs of rejoicing, declaring the Lord's mighty deliverance's and multiplied mercies. Every sorrow was yet another note from his harp, and every deliverance another theme of praise. One stinging sorrow spared would have been one blessing missed and unclaimed. One difficulty or danger escaped-how great would have been our loss! The thrilling psalms where God's people today find expression for their grief or praise might never have been known."-Anna Shipton
Like a song.
Happenings this week:
Had the opportunity and pleasure to see Josh Garrels live again. This time in Denver, CO. Inspiring as ever and a warrior with his broken elbow and wrist to shed light continually on his audiences. Really stoked for his new album "Arrow" to drop next week. Keep your ears peeled friends!
Another Eleanor Bean photo with her beautiful Mom and Pops just because she's amazing and I can't wait to meet her!
