tunage.

so i've been reminded of this tune the past few weeks. it's something that has really been stuck in my head throughout the days and it's funny that i can't remember when i started humming it, or even why, but when i realized what i was singing i was totally caught off guard. this song is perfect for me right now!! so now humming/playing this tune means more to me than ever before. if you can, first read this as a POEM, not with the tune in your head. the poem is great, then you can go back and sing it to yourself. once i can record this, i'll post it up for you guys to hear if you'd like. in the meantime, savor these words...........

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

i'm so thankful He is faithful even in the midst of my faithlessness. every one of my needs is met. and He takes time to bring me new mercies every morning. strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow!! He caressssss for me! 1 Peter 5:7.

pottery.

so. the past month or two have been pretty impactful. goods and bads. highs and lows. ups and downs. i've said this before but it's one thing to look back on the past year or so and see where God has changed and grown you. you can see the effects of being molded into who you are now. bearing new fruit, experiencing new perspectives, all because of the growth you see in hindsight. that's one thing. but it's a whole other thing when you can actually feel, present tense, God changing, molding, breaking, growing you in that very moment. this is the reality of the past two months. i feel like it has been nonstop. if it's not one thing, it's another. if it's not one person it's another. if it's not someone else, then it's me. it's just ALL AROUND ME. i guess one could look at this and be like dang, she's going through some tough stuff, and granted yes i am, BUT
i can feel Him moving. it's not in hindsight - it's right in front of me!!!
dramatic and drastic things are happening.

He is definitely refining me.

in a really gross and grotesque way, it's like peeling off a sunburn. it kinda hurts, but it kinda feels good, but it doesn't matter because that skin is old and burned and dead, and new skin is underneath waiting to take it's first breath! but, it was once a part of you, so seeing it go is kinda weird. getting the picture...? (ok but seriously, some of you guys do this i know you do)

anyway. i'm RIGHT in the middle of it. and it's fine. I know i'm looking at my life through a straw and there are things that are coming that i cannot see. so i'm in a good place. i'm in a humble place.
oh and thanks for being patient, sorry it's been awhile.
selah. :)
