Inspire me - Hill

Today Hill from Capturing Motherhood
shares from her heart 

about the ups and downs of life 

and how she is finding significance in her Saviour. 
Her faith has kept her strong 
through some trying situations with her little man.

Hill is looking forward ... she is determined

 to not let the little moments of life slip by.
You know the ones that distract you

 from whatever it was that you were on your way to do! 
She blogs to capture the minute simple moments,
moments she wants to cherish for a lifetime.

i've read it plenty of times.

i even have it underlined in my Bible.

but not too long ago, this verse hit me.

and i mean really, really hit me.

Everyone who falls on that stone (Christ)

will be broken to pieces,

but he on whom it falls will be crushed.

Luke 20:18

i am so broken.

and i am so grateful.

oh, so grateful for that brokenness.

or that need for a Saviour.

for that need for Christ.

to know Him.

personally.

i am grateful to have fallen on Him.

to be broken to pieces.

rather than being crushed.

without Christ, my life would be

plain and simple:

awful.

just awful.

i am in such a vulnerable spot.

i have been learning over the past two years

that nothing is up to me.

nothing.

and my little L

(click here for more info on him + us)

reminds me of that day after day after day.
we give him so much love and
work with him constantly
and yet his progress is not at all up to us.

He is the one who strings it all together.

Moses said to the LORD,

“Pardon your servant, Lord.

I have never been eloquent,

neither in the past

nor since you have spoken to your servant.

I am slow of speech and tongue.”

The LORD said to him,

“Who gave human beings their mouths?

Who makes them deaf or mute?

Who gives them sight or makes them blind?

Is it not I, the LORD?

Now go; I will help you speak and

will teach you what to say.”

Exodus 4:10-12

and you know what?

i like it here.

i like that i can't do anything on my own.

i like that i can't go on at this

breakneck pace all by my lonesome.

going on without Him carrying me.

there is so much more than this.

than this life.

it's a good thing, too

because i wouldn't want to.

i wouldn't want to do all of this

if it weren't for something bigger.

something bigger than this life.

if it weren't for Him orchestrating

this moment and the next and the next one after that.

and for Him being glorified in all the moments in between.

We are hard pressed on every side,

but not crushed;

perplexed, but not in despair;

persecuted, but not abandoned;

struck down, but not destroyed.

We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus,

so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

2 Corinthians 4:8-10
