Climb Climb up the mountain

Have you ever just felt so emotionally overwhelmed that you just end up sobbing into some unfolded laundry? Well that is how this past week, has gone for me. I can tell you though, its in these moments that my body just get's into a calm because as I was folding the laundry God made it a spiritual moment. So I was looking at my unfolded laundry and how terrible it looks, all piled high. In fact I've really just put it off so much that it has been shoved onto my bed in the morning(unfolded), then shoved off still unfolded at night. So the laundry grew and grew and grew. Yes.. just like the forest in "Where the wild things are" I was just thinking about how ugly it truly is all jumbled together, no organization. Then how beautiful it looks after in piles straight and in place. God took me to this place of how or ugliness, or anger or bitterness looks that way. -Gross. Yet when God starts a work in is, it's once again beautiful by sorting it all out and putting in it's place. Just like my laundry has taking me the whole week to fold, God makes all things beautiful in it's time. It's when we take the time to realize we're a beautiful disaster that we can fully focus on all the beauty God has pulled from our ashes. You know that's what gets me how overwhelming I must look to God. Seriously? I act like I'm a challenge? That's pretty sad isn't it , He's God. Over and over I find myself reading on His glory and His wonders. Yet I think I'm the end all, just shows you how much work I need doesn't it. Thing 1 and 2 have spent the week undoing all the things I've done. I cleaned the bathroom, Thing 1 peed on the floor. I organized the toys, Thing 2 dumped all the toys everywhere. I feel like God see's that same personality in me. He cleans up one area of my life, I start walking down another hidden path. I want you to know, that blogging shows me growth. I really do it so I can remind myself of where I have been. Because of how fast life goes, I tend to need a lot of reminding. I really appreciate all the prayers for support I've been receiving. I do not take them for granted in the slightest. I pray that this message blesses you as it has obviously been very eye opening for me. S.

11 "God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end."Ecclesiastes 3:11

To all who mourn in Israel,[a] he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory. Isaiah 61:3
