trusting in the waiting

progress is not pretty, piped frosting.


growth is not rehearsed ballets.


flowering is more like a rowboat with oars rubbing against its sides—the forward motion comes through friction.


another picture of this is the bow scraping against violin strings—the beautiful music coming through tension.

no one wants to watch a film without conflict. we all have housefire shipwrecks.
the question is, what do you do with them…allow the ruins to draw you to

surrender,

or harden your heart?


let’s take heart because the greatest beauty emerges from pitch dark cocoons.
so don’t waste your pit.


put your trust in the God who fills the clouds with water.

after all, the flowers won’t grow without downpour.

put your trust in God!

home is a blink away.

The Encouraging Mom

Hi! I’m Annabeth, your internet mom. Everybody needs more fun, more color, more love! I am here to lighten your load—to listen, help, and of course, encourage you! I create painting songs and drawing dances. May my art soothe like tea and help like a hot bath. When it’s raining in your life, come take refuge in the cozy sweater I knitted you, and enjoy this little corner of internet cozy cabin, where the coffee’s on and you are safe. I love you, person reading. More than any person though, the Answer to storm is Jesus! He’s completely transformed my life, and any good you see in me, is truly Him! I want to pray with you—come into the Love who is Son, and who can breathe life into every cell of your soul. He’s the God of hope, caterpillar-to-butterfly, and He works best with mess! Come to Him as you are. You’ll be surprised! God is love.💛
