5 minutes of writing! Hello Friday!
Vivid
that moment I knocked on his door
the plane ride home
laying on my bedroom floor
a basement computer
a rickety dinosaur
singing on the beach
looking at the flags
The lines could go on and on to capture the vivid moments of life. The snapshots of memories still fresh. The way the feelings come rushing with a slight tilt of my head toward remembering. Some are sorted and processed. Others remain in progress and messy. Each holds such weight and shaping. Hindsight is 20/20 and God knows. But God. But God. Hope sometimes seems lost but God says otherwise. Things seem too messy to redeem but God sweeps down to create a brush stroke to shed glory and praise. But God. I cannot But God can. God can redeem. God can make all things beautiful in their time. God can shower me with hopes deferred. God can. God can and God will do whatever is best.

I too am thankful that the solution to every worry, every fear, every everything is that there is a “But God”. Praying for your journey. With Joy, Carey
amen! so glad that God throws that around in scripture to remind us!
Love your thought – and so thankful that “God Is” always there and he knows from the beginning to the ending.
me too! so thankful! helps me rest easy!
Vivid memories….the first that that came, too, to my mind…so many, so beautiful, so broken, so precious, so redeemed.
As always…I love your heart.
I agree…so so many types of memories.
love you!
“Hope sometimes seems lost but God says otherwise. ” AMEN!!!
ditto on the amen!!
A brush stroke to shed glory and praise. Amen to that! That makes me think of Him “brushing up” my image of me, showing me how He sees me as well. What a vivid image as opposed to how I too often see myself as less than He made me.
Always enjoy my visits here!
ohhh what a good point! I SO need to let Him brush up my own image of myself so that I can see myself as He sees me!
“but God”……lovely reminder that even though life may not be going well or what I want in this moment God can and will make it beautiful.
He makes ALL things beautiful in their time!
BUT GOD! Amen! <3 Traci http://ordinaryinspirations.blogspot.com/2012/01/vivid.html

But God! Great five minute post. I love and am so thankful for this: “Hope sometimes seems lost but God says otherwise. Things seem too messy to redeem but God sweeps down to create a brush stroke to shed glory and praise. But God. I cannot But God can. God can redeem.”
I agree that helps me exhale big that God can!
