Last week,I asked God to speak specifically to my heart. He did. He always does when I ask and take the time to listen. Then, He reminded me that we have already had this conversation a million other times. I’m so glad He is fond of repeating Himself. See, I wrote about the very same thing right here a couple of years ago…”

And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when

Christ Jesus returns.

Philippians 1:6

I’m a mess, really. Sometimes….

  • My kids eat pizza for more meals than they don’t.
  • I tweet more than I talk to my husband.
  • I want to hide at Starbucks.
  • My voice can be heard by every neighbor within several houses.
  • I worry.
  • I don’t cry and I wonder is something wrong with me?
  • I can’t stop crying.
  • I want a friend to call, but I also want to be alone.

I could go on and on. I have so far to go. But, if I believe the Bible, (and I do), then I can’t pick and choose which parts. He is the way, the TRUTH, and the life. So, even when I think, surely, I am the only one who will remain a mess forever, He swoops in with a promise like this:

My name is Alpha. My name is Omega. And I always finish what I started. It may not be in your timing. It may look the way you

think. But I will finish it. Check the text. It is written.

Are you a mess, too? Do you wonder if you will ever get to where He says you will? My sweet sister, He wants you to know, though you see yourself as a mess, He calls you beautiful. He will finish what He started. And I’m talking to you, and I’m talking to me.

Let’s believe it, together, okay?”
