Agape

Agape is a shift in perspective; a game changer that should help us feel settled deep down in our bones, believing in the One to whom we belong. Once we know this love we also feel inspired to wear His garments with joy instead of a sense of obligation

Just the reminder that I am beloved of God gave me the nurture and confidence to put the trifling wound in its proper place and get on with my day…


Our book club thoughts on Chapter 3 of The Fitting Room… but I am still struggling to have faith…

I feel unchosen.

Unchosen by my children. The reason I live, work and do. And I am unchosen.

Unchosen by the man I loved. Still love. Will always love.

Aching over the loss I have endured. Four months later he is in a new chapter of his life, and I am still drowning in grief.

So God, what do you want me to do with what happened? What am I supposed to learn from this crushing loss, this fractured heart? What is the take away message?

What part of Rick leaving is for my protection? Where is the opportunity, God, that you are providing with his absence?

Are You trying to build my maturity level? Because I don’t feel mature. I just feel old.
