• Life is hard
  • Life is short
  • and it’s not fair
  • But God is good
  • In every day
  • in all ways
  • And all He does
  • is beautiful
  • Beautiful is His strategy
  • It’s His character
  • Everything on His to-do list for Tuesday
  • is Beautiful
  • Though this day includes a waiting room
  • a spinal tap
  • and weighty results
  • Even in this day
  • This stormy, spinning day
  • Life is
  • Love is
  • God is
  • Beautiful

This I know.

Believing for a lovely day,

Bo

Update:  It’s only 10:05, and the day has already been beautiful.  Steve fell asleep during the spinal tap (oh, how thankful I am to have married a man of peace.)  I had the most lovely time with Jesus in the waiting room – filled with comfort, joy and a very cool revelation that I will share with you tomorrow.  My phone kept buzzing with messages from friends and family…thank you for surrounding us with prayers and peace.  If you know someone who is in the midst of suffering, please send them this way in the morning – we’re going to meet together on the beautiful battlefield.

  12. We’re praying for you all on the battlefield right now. God knows His warriors. He knows you, and Steve. He’s the One that fights our battles and your battles. He’s the One who is our Shield, our Rear-Guard, our Defender, our Mighty One. OUR SAVIOR!!! You know, He let Moses get into that spot where the Red Sea was in front of Him, all of Pharoah’s armies were storming in to KILL THEM, and all Israel was crying and whining and complaining. But Moses simply stood, looked God (and the sea) face-to-face, and held up the rod, and declared, “STAND STILL AND SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD.”

    He is your Mighty One. He’s the same, Yesterday, TODAY, and Tomorrow.
    I LOVE YOU.

  15. You are both loved by us. Thank God for God. Thank God for you… You are already dead; alive toward God and a great inspiration to all… We join you; pointed toward eternity, yet believing for all that God has promised for your earthly life as well…
