Toxic thoughts often enter our mind and then those
toxic thoughts enter into our emotions, altering our perception. Perhaps we
then believe the false claims of these toxic thoughts. As one might say, we are
our own worst enemy, however I believe there is a bigger enemy at play.
Parenthood can be intimidating for anyone, however
when you really look at an innocent baby, one might wonder, “How does this
little human being scare the pants off me?” While there are many elements in
life beyond our control, God is much bigger!
We try to fill our lives with self-accomplishments
when Christ paid the price to give us ultimate freedom from our to-do lists. A
young child-like faith is an exemplary standard of personal freedom to be
experienced. We strive for perfection, and when I really think about it, I ask
myself this question - “Why am I striving for a goal that one person in human
history has already achieved?”
Jesus came down from the heavenly realms to become
perfection so that we could live through him. The sacrifice has been paid, and
while this truth seems so simple to understand, it is, indeed, hard to live
out. Annabelle reminds me that we are not alone. We are surrounded by clouds of
eternal hosts so that we may live our lives in the protection of God’s guardian
angels.
Here are some of Annabelle’s latest photos to conclude
this blog entry on another good note.
James so inspirational. Keep up the positive messages. You are awesome.
