Yes I’m a Christian. Yes I make hypocritical decisions. Yes I fall. I stumble. I struggle. I am a mess. But I’m God’s mess. And he can turn a mess into a masterpiece.
Jonah teaches us that grace can look like a fierce storm, a ravenous fish, vomit on the beach and a plant eating worm; all tools of God’s rescuing grace.
5pm: #Lane has weakened considerably through the day today thanks to strong shear near the islands. Lane is now a Tropical Storm with max winds of 70 mph and still poses a threat for flooding through tomorrow. A Tropical Storm Warning has replaced all Hurricane Warnings. #hiwx
Peaks are nice, but you don’t see many farms on mountaintops. Why? Because things grow better in valleys...it’s in the valleys of life that you grow closer to God and stronger in your faith. @craiggroeschel#HopeInTheDark
Hawaii:
* Do not walk, swim or drive through flood waters.
* Just six inches of moving water can knock you down, and one foot of moving water can sweep your vehicle away.
* Stay off of bridges over fast-moving water.
Turn Around, Don’t Drown! #HurricaneLane#Flood#hiwx
“God says, “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). I like this definition of stillness: silence on the outside and surrender on the inside.” @KyleIdleman#AHA
