Face Punch

I know I’m tiny. I’ve seen the “If the earth were a golf ball video.” But sometimes what I know and what I feel conflict.

Sometimes my worries and my problems feel so big that I forget no one could see them from an airplane.

And sometimes when I am reminded of how tiny I am, I forget that God could see my worries and my problems from an airplane…you know, if he were to ever be a passenger or whatever.

I took this picture at 6:00am back in September with a heart wrecked and heavy with worry. With a heart pleading to Jesus to just make the moves I so desperately wanted made, but had zero control over. I took this picture shouting in silence that I knew I was tiny but I needed to be seen.

One week later, the moves I had been begging for were made. I was punched in the face with a big “I see you. I have you. So stop. Worrying. So. Much.”

There’s this song I love by Elevation Worship:

When I felt like the burden was more than I could hold

When the whispers of worry overwhelmed my soul

You never left me alone

You were there all along

You are faithful

Why should my heart be afraid?

You are faithful

I know You’re not  gonna change

7 months later, I still worry. But when I do now, I can look at this picture.

Jesus is faithful. He knows the worries and hears the silent shouting that we need to be seen. And maybe soon He’s even gonna punch you in the face with those facts.  At least I hope so, cause it’s kind of awesome when it happens.

Love,

The tiny worrier

    We know He is always there beside us, he can interact with you in a whisper or like thunder.
    Waiting, listening and trusting is part of the walk with the Lord.

    Hey Teeny Tiny Tot,

    Thanks for the reminder that God sees me! His word says that he knows when a sparrow falls from the sky. Anyway, the truth of that statement can be liberating or terrifying; because not only does He see us… but He knows us better and more intimately than we know ourselves… our thoughts, dreams, plans, desires, and the words we speak before they are even formed on our lips. He knows everything about us.He sees our past… He knows our future…. AND… HE… LOVES…US… ANYWAY!

    Love,

    Your Teeny Tiny Dad
