Living Beyond Myself

I haven't been

MYSELF

lately.

I miss waking up early.

I miss running with the sunrise.

I miss not coughing.

I miss not laying on the couch.

I miss not feeling good.

I miss not thinking straight.

I miss

ME~

but

ME

hasn't gone anywhere.

A flu bug has invaded my body

& I can't do anything about it

but

BE STILL~

yet

STILLNESS & JONI

is not a good pair

because it is a reminder

that I am not in control.

So who do I really miss right now~

JESUS!

Yup I am a

JESUS nerd.

I love hanging out with HIM.

I love reading about HIM

I love when I so connected to HIM

that it is HIM who I see in all things.

Well lately,

because I haven't been feeling like

MYSELF

I have been so focused on

ME

that I have forgotten about

JESUS~

the One who has been waiting for me

to take my eyes off of

"woe is me"

& to put them on

HIM

Who hasn't gone anywhere

because

JESUS is here to stay.

And all

HE wants to do is

Walk with me & Walk with you

so that

HE can do everyday life with us~

whether we are feeling 100% or 20%

or feeling nothing at all.

I miss

MYSELF

because my best self

is when I am with

JESUS~

no matter what I am feeling

because

HE feels the same about me & the same about you

no matter what we may be feeling about ourselves.

and all

HE

wants is to do is bring out our best self

because

"WHEN I'M WITH YOU"~

"I feel the real me finally breaking through" (Citizen Way)~
