My thoughts

Extreme Hyperbole

Posted by Summer on

Right to the point:

I’d rather suffocate myself with things from above and breathe than with worldly, material things that will never cultivate a heavenly reward, leaving me dead inside.

This statement, nothing else, was a draft that I had from Aug 2019…

But isn’t it true through? We can’t suffocate on the goodness of God, but if we could, what a way to go!

Anything else, or less, is not living in Him. I’m so thankful He blesses us, but I’m even more thankful for the faith to endure hardships we have here on Earth and experiencing His goodness through them.

Do you have a wild statement?

What are you thankful for today?

Just a girl following Jesus and letting others see Him through my life and through my blog. An aspiring author in the years to come, currently in a career in accounting full-time and a Scentsy consultant on the side. When I’m not working, I’m usually reading, watching hockey, drawing or something with books.. because let’s be real, reading, buying, browsing, and reviewing are all separate hobbies. My other favorite thing to do, even while working, is to laugh. Here and everywhere you'll find me with a healthy dose of sass and jokes. :)

    He is so good – through all the good and the not-so-good. I’m so grateful we always have Jesus, no matter what.

    Here’s a wild but true one, Summer: People so earthly focused they were no heavenly good. I’m thankful for God’s strength and ability to swim against the culture’s undertow.

      I love that. Swimming against the culture’s undertow. Hard but worthwhile.
