We are weary, give us rest, ignorant, make us wise unto salvation, helpless, let Thy strength be made perfect in our weakness, poor and needy, bless us with Christ’s unsearchable riches, perplexed and tempted, let us travel on unchecked, undismayed, knowing Thou has said, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.” Blessed be Thy name! - Valley of Vision // Thankful for quiet mornings to process videos and life. And for friends who are deep encouragements to my soul. #socalitydc (at Maketto)

Father, today I am tired, tired, tired. Empty, worn down, grumpy, all done. I feel weak and entirely mortal. But I long for You to be glorified though me today. I need Your strength so I can give my best to others. So that I have the energy to serve and be welcoming and be kind. Remove from me any inkling of self pity or weariness. Let Your goodness and joy fill my heart and renew my soul. Show me how to love as You love. // Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. - Psalm 51:8 #socalitydc (at Washington, District of Columbia)
