Some encouragement from Ephesians
These verses have long been part of my favourites. This version highlights them in a different way for me. It highlights my part in this- not the effort that I need to make or the willpower I need to generate but the role that God has for each one of us to be part of the amazing things that He is doing.

This week, my post on the fear of having missed your calling hit home…

I hit a low point and wanted to curl up and ignore life for a while. And then this verse came up. The whole chapter has some gems but this spoke right to where I am at. I am human. I will have times when I am brought low.…
