I think that there are some things that scare me. I’m not sure if it’s a good type of scared or bad.
Isaiah 6:9-10 – And he said, “Go and tell these people, ‘No matter how closely you listen, you’ll never understand. No matter how closely you look, you’ll never see.’ Make these people close-minded. Plug their ears. Shut their eyes. Otherwise, they may see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their minds, and return and be healed.”
What am I afraid of? To be a person who does not understand what Yahweh is saying. I ask that you pray for me, just not this prayer. Help us, your church to see you, to understand you and to have a heart that returns to you. Heal us Yahweh so that your glory can be seen. Thank you for your grace to love, for the opportunity to repent and return to you. Teshuvah: turning around to you.
Turning Around for Me – Vashawn Mitchell
Hebrews 4:2 – We have heard the same Good News that your ancestors heard. But the message didn’t help those who heard it in the past because they didn’t believe.
The one word that turns ears that can’t hear to understanding: believe. That’s truly all we have to do. Believe.
Thank you. There’s something about seeing words repeated and confirmed that just anchors you. Turning around for me. Teshuvah. Singing the song. And then I came to edit the bi-weekly newsletter and saw one of the sections, “He’s turning around for me.” I didn’t even remember writing it then, but I am thankful for it today.
Full Body Picture
A strange (for me) thing happened today. I looked at a full body picture that Steph took yesterday and sent for me. And I realised that I liked the picture. I usually don’t like looking at pictures of me, though I started taking selfies to actually look at my face a while back. I rarely take full body pictures. Though I’m choosing to like my physical self as I am (but doesn’t always work everyday). I’m glad that today I can actually say that I am okay with my body. Still working on my end goal, but I am good with myself. Hmmmm. I wonder what tomorrow will hold?
