.day one.

* .day one. of a new year *


from the inside out . .
that's how i seek to live my life,
for Him to consume my deepest
desires, heart, and soul.
everlasting ..
never ending ..
is His glory and grace.
i seek to be drenched in it,
loving Him as He does a 
work in my life, bringing
me to a place of complete
surrender ..
for His pleasure and purpose.


what most of you don't know is that the past couple plus years have been personally challenging beyond all reason. i'm not at liberty to share details. be encouraged though; God is working in my life and the lives of precious others. 


.reconnect. 
.restore. 
.renew. 
.refresh.
.revitalize.


in hindsight, i see with clarity how He brought me through moments in time that *at* the time i thought impossible to endure. 
fear {of the situation(s)} 
consumed me, paralyzed me, isolated me.
with a public facade firmly in place,
i lived, one day morphing to the next
in what many days could be 
described as continuous tule fog. 
the facade has been removed.
so has the tule fog .. almost. 
He wills it.


He breaks to rebuild. laying a foundation, His mortar spread, construction, interior design ... 
hammered heart{s} for His glory.


.day one. 
walk with me; 
there's a new rhythm to my gate. 


bless you,
"jAne"
