Overwhelmed.
Life as a whole has been utterly overwhelming in many ways recently. It seems the storms keep coming and yet the rainbows are always there at the end to remind me of Gods love and faithfulness through it all.

Strangely Dim.
Even the most beautiful things in this world are but trash in comparison to the Gospel and what Christ did for us.

Job 19

Fortified vs. Supplement
