Dust; fragmented layers of collected particles, discarded and often ignored. We ignore the build up of dust collecting on our drawers and end tables. We’re annoyed by the useless layer of connected particles. We never in a million years collect dust and create art or beauty from grey, lifeless layers.
And yet Gungor’s song reminds me that beautiful things can be made from dust. The concept is gnarly and still hard for me to process, but I believe it. I believe it because I see it in my own life.
I’m in a season where I feel like a million different pieces of fragmented particles, fragile and see-though. I’m thin-layered and easily brushed. But I believe something beautiful is being formed. I believe it because I’m living it.
I believe beautiful things are being formed.
Being sick one week, then diagnosed with something the following week, then going back to urgent care for another matter this week reminds me that I’m fragile and thin-layered and fragmented. But in that there is something beautiful being formed. I believe it because I see it.
What is the dust of your life? Where are you feeling fragile? Hang on… beautiful things are being made by the One who can make beautiful things out of dust.
John 20:29
Be glad you see it but rather rejoice that beautiful things are there even though you can’t see them yet! 😀 “walk by faith not by sight” Rejoice also that greater is he that is in you then he that is in the world and you are more then a conqueror with Christ’s life inside you! You are not as fragile as you may seem hehehe 😀
Be healed and stay healed in Jesus name Bianca and may the revelation of His power in you strengthen your mind and body as you press against the darkness around you bringing the light of His life to the people He(and you) loves! 😀

This song has been on my mind so much lately. My life feels like a big pile of dust right now. Can’t seem to get much right….and realizing that I need to submit for him to be able to take the dust and make something of it….
Waiting for the doctor to call you with results pretty much stinks, OR hearing something from him that you didn’t want to hear. Trying to find your groove as a wife/sister/teacher/daughter/friend/student is crazy. I’m thankful for such a wonderful understanding husband but I wish everybody else would realize that I’m just one person. Especially at work! Even in the midst of the madness He is good. I don’t get it sometimes, but He is good. Feel better B!!
