Be Loved

Have you ever let yourself be loved by the one who made You. Have you ever told your soul to believe that His heart is on your side. You could even try to run away. But there's nothing you can do. Just be loved. Be loved. He loves you. Just be loved. Be loved. He loves you. Have you ever let yourself be held by the one who holds this world. Have you ever told your soul to rejoice that His arms are open wide. You could even try to run away but He'd come running after you. Just be held. Be held. He holds you. Just be held. Be held. He holds you. We didn’t earn it, He just chose to give it. And it’s in our resting that we rise up singing. Rejoice! Again, I say Rejoice! Rejoice! Again, I say Rejoice! You are loved. Be loved. He loves you. You are loved. Be loved. He loves you.

What One Summer Can Do..

Just recently returned from a trip to Ukraine. Almost five years. Im so thankful that I was able to spend time with a sweet friend(s). The trip was so necessary, to just step back and rest, and enjoy the sweetness of friendship. To pray, to talk, to laugh, to fellowship, to worship together. To explore a new place, to breathe and relax. I am so thankful that this trip happened. Thankful that five years ago this friendship was built, and has continued on, despite distance, despite changing lives. I am grateful.

It's amazing what one summer can do..
