"It's hard to spend energy on fear armed with His goodness and truth"
-Sarah Kay Ndjerareou
You know that your friend has writing in her veins when you quote words from a recent group text message she sent! Good company I keep I can assure you. Sarah is no stranger to heartache as you could find in her published memoir entitled Pieces of Glass: A Moment of Tragedy, A Lifetime of Faith. Even the more reason to find her words so wise. When you find someone who has walked super ugly life and can undeniably find their Savior's goodness and truth, you should listen.
My favorite part of Proverbs 31 is verse 25 that says:
...she laughs at the time to come.
Do you find yourself laughing at the future to come or do you think of it slightly with fear and worry? Throughout my life, I have definitely bent towards the latter. I mean we are promised suffering and no one looks forward to that. However, after years of watching the Lord's goodness and faithfulness come through even in the suffering, suddenly the fear begins to lose its grip. The Proverbs 31 woman gets it. She can laugh at what's to come because she knows she will step into it with Jesus. My friend, Sarah, gets it. She doesn't spend energy on fear because she steps with the reminders of all His goodness and truth from His flawless track record.
May we all be a little more Proverbs 31:25...May we all be a little more Sarah Ndjerareou...May we all be a little more like Jesus.
Happy Big Birthday, Sarah. Thanks for gifting me the perfect spirit-led words on your birthday.
