MY BOOK MEET ME AT MIDNIGHT

Feeling Unworthy || CH3

Do we deserve a life of ease? Peace? Are we entitled to it?

Seasons of Grief, Despair, Loneliness, Loss.

Walking through seasons of grief, despair, loneliness, loss, can lead us through dark valleys, but God is willing to walk with us there...
Touching on the book's theme of Faith vs Fear, or Hope vs Anger. Taking the trip, instead of victim mentality to life. 
An awakening on Saturday, was at a funeral of a 17 day young year old. We talk in the podcast episode on perspective, and what a life of faith entails, and its challenges.
 
God bless xx

The Irish Goodbye || CH3 PG38

"As you walk toward the main area, three ladies step out from behind the desk, bowing slightly as you approach.
"Sawadeeka!"
Your awkward self looks at the driver, unsure how to respond. Thankfully, he gracefully motions to show you what to do. He teaches you it's called a 'wai' - a traditional Thai greeting you'll soon come to recognize. You drop your bags, press your hands together, and tuck your chin in, maybe a little too much, trying to hide a cheeky smile. You pick up your bags again, feeling like you wasted their time, and continue forward."
(Pg 38 Meet Me at Midnight)

Self Awareness || POV The Broken Mirror || CH2

"Realizing that you would spend the majority of this trip staring into broken glass and fogged film - your reflection always fractured. Dirty glass, warped mirrors, unable to see yourself clearly enough to pick yourself apart.
Full of imperfections. James talks about the mirror."
(Meet Me at Midnight, Pg. 30, Shanelle Ann)
 
We can deceive ourselves into tuning into our capabilities, then walking away, immediately forgetting what we were destined for, made in the image and likeness of the Divine.
 
Inspired by Chapter 2 of Meet Me at Midnight "POV: The Broken Mirror"
