A Place For My Scribbles

I have been pondering for a place to be home to my scribbles.  A place that would get my writings out somewhere, and maybe, just maybe, make a difference.

Then came project Learning to Embrace.  Why Learning to Embrace?  Because it seems to be quite the theme of my life at the moment.  But then, is it not the theme of everything?  We have to embrace our King. Embrace His ways; learn Jesus' character and put it into practice.  Embrace His plans; following my own is quite useless.  His plans for you and I far surpass our own.  For one thing there's Jeremiah 29:11,

“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

There is also Isaiah 55:8,

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”

Sweet, right?  His ways are so much higher then ours, so His plans for us gotta be off the wall.  Now when I’m reading that in the Bible, I’m being all ‘holy’ so I’m thinking, “Woo!  God has got me a good plan and I’m going to follow it.”

Haha, I wish it were that easy.  But I’m flesh, and sometimes its just plain hard.  That's where the embrace comes in.  I’m always learning, and re-learning, to just embrace His plans.  To make them my own.

Following this, is learning to embrace His love.  Man o’ man.  I think I pretty much pray that I’ll never be able to embrace all His love.  It's so deep, so high, so wide.  I pray I’ll never fully embrace it because I always want to be grasping for it.  Like a little girl in a field of flowers, chasing that beautiful butterfly that's always just out of reach.  Let me put it this way, I want to always be falling into His love, never to be caught.  I'll just keep falling deeper, 'till I'm completely lost.

Basically, I’m just a girl, learning to embrace my Father, my King, and along the way, writing little bits about the journey.  So I thought I’d share the journey here, maybe it will help someone in their own adventure.
