The House You're Building

Audrey Assad? Huh? Who?! Audrey Assad the gifted, the amazing voice, the talented songwriter that's who! :) Not new to the music scene but new enough that not many have heard of her. She's a Christian and so her songs come from that place of faith. Good good stuff.

I picked this song because of the picture it paints. God is a master renovator, remodeler (yes it's a word in my world let it go!), transformer of lives. We wander around trying to find a home to fit into and he has built us one. The one we build ourselves usually gets washed away by the storms of life because we build on sand. But God is the cornerstone and our firm foundation. When we plant ourselves on him the storms of life can't move us. (See Matthew7:24-27) We are homeless until we make him our home.

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.
