“ If you lose your purpose ... it's like you're broken. ” ― Brian Selznick, The Invention of Hugo Cabret

As I sit here contemplating the things Father has done these last couple of weeks, I`m a bit overwhelmed of the work he has done in my heart. Stripping the blackness off, scrapping off the mold and cleansing the walls of dirt and grime. Breaking into my heart that I have attempted and tried to let no one in, he has exploded in with buckets of colored paint. Painting all the walls bright beautiful colors, painting large pretty pictures of my purpose and identity on every surface. Speaking to me that I am his. His child, his daughter, his beloved. Calling me into the depths of his heart, enfolding me into his deep wells of love. Oh, how he loves me. And because he loves me I do not need to be qualified or have it all together.
Which is good because I am neither. A good friend spoke these simple words to me a few weeks ago, "God does not chose the qualified but qualifies the called." Good to hear. I do not need to have it all together, I just need to live out of the daughter-ship I have been adopted into. As any nine-teen year old would I think about what am I going to do with the rest of my life, where can I go, what can I see, how can I live up to all the expectations this world has for me? God`s simple answer is: live loving and adoring me. Simple as. Glory.
 

“In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.” ― Mother Teresa, In the Heart of the World: Thoughts, Stories and Prayers
