undivided


Can you imagine a completely undivided life?
One in which the answers were always clear and easy.
The grey areas fell nicely into black and white.
The purposes and the resources aligned.
The tension and the solution were comfortable.
My will and His will were unmistakably the same.

Until then, I’m praying…

That my actions always come before my words
That my heart rejoices at redemption as much as it cries at injustice
That I celebrate before I complain
That I understand before I judge
That I listen more than I speak
That I seek until I find
That I love without comparison
That I serve without expectation
That I give as much as I take
That I live with intention
Inspired by grace
Sustained by hope
Forgiving
Laughing
Remembering 
 I have only one life that was never supposed to be about me

Until I can sit in your presence and understand your beauty
May my heart rest in knowing You are the same
Yesterday
Today
Forever

  1. Mmmmm you gave a new life and hope to the hanging questions and uncertainties....the "Until then....I'm praying".... And those things are what I'm gonna focus on right now. You've got such a great mind and heart Katie! Thanks.
