Yes you are, Ellie. Yes you are.
I’m being gentle with myself today. After finishing a writing project and helping out a friend, I couldn’t pass up a few minutes on the back porch, reading in the warm sun. I feel a bit like a cat, even though I’m not particularly fond of them. I’m seeing a counselor tonight. I’m nervous she’s gonna think I’m crazy. I’m apprehensive to tell the full truth or to somehow, appear weak and broken, the very truth of who I am. The physical absence of J and B is getting harder, not easier. What if my weakness and brokenness disqualifies me? I ask. From what? I ask back. From being an encouragement to others? From Christ’s love? From being able to lead and teach? From being a wife and a mother? I’m choosing not to believe that weakness disqualifies. Actually-it’s what qualifies. “And I remembered that Jesus did not carry his own cross all the way. He stumbled and fell under the burden of the cross, and Simon of Cyrene carried it for him. It is all right to ask for help. We do not have to do it alone.” Madeline L’Engle, The Rock That Is Higher
Dear fellow procrastinator: Tonight is the LAST NIGHT to sign up for class. 10 weeks. Link in bio. www.stefanieboyce.com Go.
Yes, yes, yes! #therockthatishigher
See you soon! Brunch starts at 9. @weareimmanuel
The time is NOW. If you know you want to sign up to Experience Jesus Through the Scriptures, skip the brunch and the line by signing up online right now. All the class details-Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning-are in the link. OR, join us in the morning at Immanuel Church 2300 Dilleys Rd. Gurnee, IL 60031, 9-11am, and learn about all your options to grow closer to Christ this fall! You don’t have to attend Immanuel to take a Bible study. @weareimmanuel To the fence straddlers: I see you. If you’re scared or nervous or feel like you don’t know anyone or anything, you are NOT ALONE. If you have a ton of stuff going on, “but.....insert excuse 1.....” “well maybe next....insert excuse 2......” this is the time. You know it and so do I. No more excuses. At some point, you just gotta jump and there’s no better time than now. Don’t stand in your own way. Join us. We are messy, may or may not cry from time to time, desperately want to know Jesus, and I’m not gonna lie, I may have heard a cuss word ....although that may have just been a woman telling us her dog’s name. Take my class. Take someone else’s. Whatever. Just come. Come scared. Come confused. Come hungry. Come with anticipation. Just show up and see. Let me know if you’re signed up or coming below. Heck, tag a friend to let her know you’re saving her a seat!
