without God...

i am like a little kid running into the street.
i am useless.
i am totally worthless.
i am ordinary.
i am without hope.

With God...
I am a little kid holding my Daddy's hand while I cross the street.
I am useful.
I am totally worth something.
I am still ordinary, but know those are the ones He likes to use for His Kingdom.
I have hope.


This is a tough journey isn't it? Following Christ. It's hard; bumpy; scary; dreadful at times all the time. We are all "little kids" in need of our Daddy's hand. And He's holding it out for us to take.

Never again will I look at life and think it will be easy. Because no matter what, it won't be. The difference? The difference is a supernatural power. HE is all supernatural.

I no longer want to rely on the worlds definition of  "possible". Because what's impossible to mankind, is possible to God.


 ‘I see that the Lord is always with me.
      I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
 26 No wonder my heart is glad,
      and my tongue shouts his praises!
      My body rests in hope.
 27 For you will not leave my soul among the dead
      or allow your Holy One to rot in the grave.
 28 You have shown me the way of life,
      and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.

Acts 2:25-28

Hi Amber! Just wanted to check in with you & say thanks for the great post - TRULY encouraging! This past week I've been finding myself discouraged about stuff...& wondering about my purpose...so thanks fo the post. I'm SO glad God wants to use the ordinary & sinful for His awesome deeds. I really feel terrible that I haven't got your package out yet, too! I've been trying to find something that I just haven't been able to find! But, I'm going to mail your package this week! Hope you're doing well & that your valley is slowing sloping upwards. Your posts have been very uplifting & I thank you for 'em.
Love From Your Sister in Christ Who Thinks Your Grrreat=)(I just felt like being Tony the Tiger, I guess - you know, from the Frosted Flakes box?=) What am I going on about? But I truly think you're great!
