Too great a measure to fathom

I used to be an under estimator.
Plainly put,I used to get tired of things pretty easily, being the ignorant and unmotivated girl i was.... nothing seemed to interest me any further after the initial spark of an encounter failed to ignite, which left me hanging out for another to pass my way.

Everyday was a search to find something even more exciting, even more tantalizing than the next.

Every enjoyment became a temporary high and I was like a girl on drugs, ever craving for more, but never getting enough.

Then one day, nothing seemed to matter anymore.
Enjoyment became an excess.
Laughter became too tiring for the facial muscles.
Goods became trash to be taken out.

Her life was cluttered by too much excesses.
So she made a decision to detach.

Detaching herself from worldly comforts, she immersed herself in the simplicities of life.
And much to her surprise, it actually made her joy fuller, and made her life so much easier.

Everything in balance.
Why the need to hog when one is truly all you need?

Looking up into the skies, she fixed her eyes on the one and only.
White noise drained away.
Nothing on earth seemed to matter too much anymore when she realized the comfort He gave.

He gave her adventure, with each life challenge.
He gave her courage to love and to protect.
He gave her Love which promises to last for eternity.
He showed her mercy when for every mistake she makes.
He gave her wisdom when she choose to seek.
He gave her clarity beyond her wildest imagination.
And gave her hope to face the unknown with anticipation.
He gave her courage to do all that she has been prepared to undertake.

most importantly,
He gave her EVERYTHING she needed.

He meted discipline in gentleness as long as she did´nt go too far.
She knows that He knows her inside out and any attempt in dishonesty will be futile, so she does´nt even go there.

She hopes to one day have the capacity to teach her children all that they need to know that will see them from strength to strength.

To know the master, and to appreciate His loveliness.
To seek and to serve.
For one alone can only do so little.
But together, we can give Him so much more!

Live the adventure He has set out for each of us in Joy and Love. Amen :)
