Not ideal but it surely is a possible outcome. I think you should stick with stronger.

more mature in Christ and in life, because it always seems like it takes the hardest things to build the most character in you.
Cling to God more
Greatful to be alive

… grow your character enabling you to minister and love on others in different ways.
… open your eyes to God’s amazing goodness and overwhelming love and care.
… grow your relationship with our Daddy … opening the door to knowing Him in ways that don’t typically just happen because it’s easier not to put forth the effort in all the chaos and busyness that life distracts us with.
I also agree with want to eat ice cream, or wolf down three muskateers or drink many starbucks … or to go to bed and see if it will go away by the time you wake up! :) Of course, none of those temporary fixes compare at all with hanging out with Jesus!
….constipated.
(It was worth saying twice.)
oh how i love thee!
…..think
….appreciate life!
….I do like “crazy”.
….eat an entire pan of brownies.
This reminds me of a Sara Groves song. (As do most things in life)
In Your hands
the pain & hurt
look less like scars
and more like…
character
ooooh. i love that quote.
It’s from her song “Less like Scars” off of her All Right Here album. It’s one of my very favorites of hers. Track it down – I can very nearly guarantee you will love it. Here’s the whole song:
It’s been a hard year • But I’m climbing out of the rubble • These lessons are hard • Healing changes are subtle • But every day it’s… • Less like tearing more like building • Less like captive more like willing • Less like breakdown more like surrender • Less like haunting more like remember • And I feel you here • And you’re picking up the pieces • Forever faithful • It seemed out of my hands a bad situation • But you are able • And in your hands the pain and hurt • look less like scars and more like character • • Less like a prison a prison more like my room • Less like a casket more like a womb • Less like dying more like transcending • Less like fear, less like an ending • • And I feel you here • And you’re picking up the pieces • Forever faithful • It seemed out of my hands a bad situation • But you are able • And in your hands the pain and hurt • look less like scars • • Just a little while ago • I couldn’t feel the power or the hope • I couldn’t cope, I couldn’t feel a thing • Just a little while back • I was desperate, broken, laid out • Hoping you would come • • And I need you • And I want you here • And I feel you… • • And I feel you here • And you’re picking up the pieces • Forever faithful • It seemed out of my hands a bad situation • But you are able • And in your hands the pain and hurt • look less like scars • And in your hands the pain and hurt • look less like scars • And in your hands the pain and hurt • look less like scars • And more like character • •
a quick search in my iTunes confirmed my suspicion — i own it! gonna keep it on repeat for a while this afternoon…
Beautiful song!
want to punch someone
indeed!
…go crazy?
ready for battle?!?
… appreciate life.
wished it would.
that much more determined.
take a free pass til the next “whatever doesnt kill you”.
pee your pants at the close call.
wonder “what does?”
i love these, tamster!
Identify more with Christ’s sufferings
…gassy.
:)
laughed out loud right here in starbucks. thanks, mary!
Laugh really hard
…only makes your priorities change.
More you.
tired.
dang tired!
more His.
Run out into the world and – jump in mud puddles, get into food fights, play with children, put on those hot pink boots you always wanted, cannon ball into pools, make faces at everyone you meet who is frawning, run up to the devil and smack him with a whip cream pie.
find God more deeply for your heart…because you are desperate…. to find Him…. In His faithfulness He shows up and not only sweeps us up into His arms, but cradles us close.
As we nestle in we hear His heartbeat…. It’s where we come to know Him by heart….
I see Him coming for you……….
still mum.
itchy?
FATTER …….. SHAME!
…wonder where the original quote came from.
“He turns all his injuries into strengths, that which does not kill him makes him stronger. He is Superman.”
~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche’s Thus Spake Zarathustra
