(Technically, it can be just a list and not a poem... and it can be just a few lines jotted down to remind you what your days are holding! I'm hoping to keep at it because I was amazed at how helpful it was!)

As I enjoy the treat of playing with grandchildren who live too far away, I especially loved "no more rushing past priorities or wishing away the years" The faster time passes by, the more I want to cling to these moments.

I know that in addition to all the things that are above surface, He is doing a deep work beneath... in you... in your family... and it's not always comfortable or even welcomed - but it IS always worth it and there is always Grace - right there... in it and all around it and covering and loving and shielding! For whatever reasons (ha ;) ) I was just reminded of the story in the OT about how they shouted Grace, Grace to the mountains... maybe there are a few 'mountains' in your life right now... on your radar that seem insurmountable... Shout Grace, Grace! Literally... out loud... for we know that there is power in the spoken word and we release things when we say them out loud! Shouting with you from way over here! Love you bunches! xoxo (ref.

I've been putting so many things into perspective lately and this one...THIS ONE is the one that had me nodding my head along with your words: "These are the Days of...<br />* Everything's Changing but Oh how Grace Abounds"<br /><br />If I could've imagined this many changes taking place in my life in such a short amount of time I can honestly say I think I would've run. But every day, even through the overwhelmingness of it all, I can see grace more clearly than I ever have before. Yes, I'm tired. Yes, I'm having trouble letting go of a few things. Yes, I can't keep most things straight some days because there's just SO much to focus on at once. But every morning when I wake and have my quiet time it prepares me for that craziness and He tells me all that it's going to be ok. That it's going to be worth it. And that if I just trust and hang on I'm going to have the time of my life.<br /><br />Thank you for these words. I truly love your poetry, Karrilee! <3<br />Jennifer Frisbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15500924562926241625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-24660413873594610282015-07-21T12:27:45.896-07:002015-07-21T12:27:45.896-07:00Amen and Amen, my friend!
