My weekly contribution for Daughter of Delight is up!
For the last few days I’ve been keeping up with the news surrounding Hurricane Patricia. As the strongest land falling pacific hurricane on record, the attention surrounding its movement has been of both awe and wonder, as well as apprehension and fear. As I prayed for safety and protection of the people predicted to be in its path, I was struck with another thought. This hurricane, which also happens to be my namesake, has been described as ‘powerful’, ‘unstoppable’, and ‘a force to be reckoned with’. It stopped me in my tracks as I asked myself if I could be described as such a mighty force for Jesus.
While I don’t want to be classified as a natural disaster, reckless and potentially harmful, I do want to be courageous and strong in my stance for the Lord!
I want to be on fire for Him. I want to be bold in proclaiming His truth, and confidant as I stand for righteousness. I don’t want fear to stop me from walking in my calling, or self-doubt to convince me that my story of grace and redemption isn’t worth being told….

EMBRACE HIS GRACE!!

Love your metaphors as always! From California earthquakes… seems no matter where we land we need to keep trusting God. Praying too!
Amen!!!! Strong in the Lord!
From one Patricia to another – I agree – I too would like to be more bold for Christ and what better way than with a hurricane strength!
