A Christmas Story, Anytime

I ran away from him. It was Christmas time.
That was years ago. Not for good. Just for awhile.
I was confused and in pain.
Faith is amazing. It made me go back.
It connected me to God.
Faith is trusting in the now – that right now great things are unfolding no matter how unbelievable it is. What seems dead may be breathing for new life.
Faith is being excited about tomorrow – that tomorrow great things will be unfolded no matter how unbelievable it may be. What seems dead is alive and fruitful!
Faith is amazing. Faith got me back.
It connected me to God’s graces.
I was overwhelmed and in His arms.
That is now and tomorrow. For good. Not just for awhile.
I ran towards Him. It is me, Rea.
Then Jesus answered, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour. – Matthew 15:28

This was wonderfully passionate and intense. It’s always wonderful to be in the arms of our Abba Father, to know that no matter what the struggle may be we’ll come through it safely because we’re in His loving arms, not just for a little while, but forever. Blessings.

Sometimes the irony of life is we struggle away from Him for ‘comforting life’ only to realize that it is safest and most comforting in His arms.
Huggggs and blessings to you 🙂

Hi Rea! I loved what you shared on my “Tell Me About You” post. Thanks so much for indulging my curiosity! Your cafe dream sounds like somewhere I’d love to be! Sipping my tea and dreaming of it now!
I love how different your writing is from mine…so creative, yet true and heartfelt. I can’t wait to read more.
love and hugs,

Hello Lindsay! I love parTeas with Him!
Thank you for appreciating my writings. Back then, the way I write stopped me from sharing — it’s a proofreader’s dream! But hey, the urge to write prevails — I can run anyway after hitting publish.
Thank you for being so beautiful in and out 🙂

Thank you so much for appreciating. God bless your warm beautiful heart. Huggggs and blessings 🙂
