a wishlist to be ignored

sometimes it's enough to blog about what's on my wish list and only day dream they're mine.





The Skymra Canvas is a slip on shoe, which strikes the perfect balance between classic and modern style. Offered in lightweight canvas, its oversized elastic straps ensure a secure fit. An embroidered wave detail appears on the medial side of the shoe, in a mixture of blue tones, giving another layer of personality to our Skymra.

Day by day, bird by bird, one by one

If you ask me what my plans are for the future (and if I'm telling the truth) I will reply, "um, no idea. I'm really just trying to survive today." I think about what I have to do, what is overdue, the things I wish I had time to do for fun, and everything kind of shuts down. well, I guess it's more like status blue screen. I can't do anything "productive". in quotes. because at this point the only thing I really know how to do & end up doing is put my face to the floor and pray. sounds pathetic and desperate--and that's exactly it. I'm so desperate for God to fix the mess I've made and redeem the failures I've flunked. it's times like these where I am reminded of how useless and worthless I am without Him. almost depressing if I ended this post here. thankfully He--despite all human sense--accepts me into a relationship with Him where He's got all the deep stuff covered. Jesus makes this piece of garbage (me) like refined gold, precious and worthy to be called His very own likeness. leaves me speechless in a way, but not quite because all of sudden I look and I'm burning. burning to tell everyone that Jesus is the answer. when you're anxious, depressed, poor, lost, hungry, weary, broken, confused, waiting, angry, (and the list goes on), He's the answer. still don't understand? feel free to message me. esthertalks@gmail.com

anyway, the correlation between the post title and the content of this post is that I hear this piece of advice rise out from the muck. just take it day by day, or "bird by bird" in the words of anne lamott. and through these words the Spirit gives me peace.

I will never fully understand His love for humankind. it is too vast, too amazing... too beautiful. dedicating this update to Jesus. I am rejoicing in Him today.
