majestic

LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory
in the heavens.

Psalm 8:1



The word "majestic" is on my mind today. I loved the sound of it as I whispered it in my office today "majestic, majestic"- Go ahead try it, it is just a fun word. All day I was thinking of God and majestic and the obvious connection. I was picturing waterfalls, grand mountains, low valleys, the ocean floor or even hot deserts. Majestic, so huge, so wonderful complete awe filling space.

So I googled it. It being the word "majestic"

The second photo was this one. "Aslan" It may not be the actual "aslan" from the Chronicles of Narnia but I enjoyed savouring the imagery anyways. How majestic is my God. The roaring lion, the cuddly pal, the friend to sinners and the greatest sacrifice. My Lord.

God has a great way of tying in the random thoughts and desires I have and bringing it all back to Him. What started as just a word "majestic" has turned into yet another oppurtunity to dig deeper, to look closer, to experience more the love of my Jesus. He is everywhere, this I was reminded of today..

If God gives you a word..savour it..He usually is up to something..

May the Lord surprise you this bitter cold January..!

mmm Cookies and .. Christmas!

I baked these cookie 2 days ago. I love these "oreo cookies" becuase

#1) They taste delicious!

#2) They remind me that Christmas is here! After all we only make them this time of the year!

I have to bring my friend to the airport today and in 2 sleeps another friend will have to bring Ben and me to the same airport!

We're going home!

In need of Faith lift!

I have been trucking along through this advent journey and feel discouraged. I have planned so hard not to miss it but I feel like I have.

Time is slipping away on me.

In my daily commute I pray "come Lord Jesus" before I eat my lunch, and supper I pray the same prayer.

Be my guest, truly I mean it, I will stop what I am doing and be with you!

He asks "promise?"

I respond "I will try so so hard"

He says "I love you, just the way you are"

I exhale all my worries, all my failed attempts at being more "intune", all my insecurities, all my sins, all my grief, all my joy, my anxious heart, my sick stomach, I give it all to Jesus.

I wimper "I'm empty..."

He proclaims "Come and I will fill you."

Praise Christ who is coming, who is here and who knows it all, trust in Him this advent season and even if like me you feel your failing, you feel time is slipping know He is with you, and he does not want perfect people only passionate ones. Love Him more deeply now than ever.

Peaceful thinking..

This week has already been completely stress overload but I am enjoying my quiet times with the Lord drawing closer to Him. I enjoy peaking over my bible to see my cute beedy eyed nativity staring back at me in beautiful peace, two candles are lit this week which makes me excited that Christ is coming, He is so near..HE IS HERE!!!
