Through It All

Andrae Crouch has written and performed some of the most anointed songs.  His love for God, his dedication to God shines through in his music and the best part is that he gives all credit to God for his gift in music.  He recognizes where the gift comes from. 
I love this hymn because it highlights the life of faith in Christ.  Through it all you have to learn to trust in him.  Thoreau said, “The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness.” We don't have to have massive faith in order to "prove" our trust in God.  The smallest amount is enough for him.  He takes it and multiplies it according to HIS good pleasure.  I think of Mother Teresa who struggled for most of her adult life with God.  But when all was said and done she had held on to the tiniest seed of faith in Christ and look how he has used what I am sure she considered to be insignificant faith.  Through it all she found enough faith to hold on to trust in God.  That is all he asks.  He doesn't ask for large and grandiose displays of faith, just the amount that we can muster.  Through it all he will be faithful.

Have a great Sunday!

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
