As am writing this I'm tucked away in my little office sipping on tea with a vanilla + fig candle burning in the backdrop. A storm is raging outside, literally. I can't help but smile at how that image is a pretty good representation of my life at the moment. With quite a bit of change and uncertainty happening on the outside I must admit that I am feeling fairly uncomfortable. Despite all the shifts my inner soul feels like it's comfortably nestling on a chair with a good book. And it is that which I feel most grateful for this week. To be in a storm, yet resolute in spirit. That's grace. And it is sufficient for me, for His power is made perfect in my weakness.
