Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

Is there a better trade than the one offered by Jesus? He offers peace, joy, love, fulfillment and reward. In return He asks that you give Him all your worries, fears, anxieties and uncertainties.

The creator of all beauty, perfection and grandeur in this universe is seeking to nourish your soul in a way that only He can. There is nothing else that can satisfy the deep longings of the heart except for a relationship with Jesus.

It’s something so profoundly empowering and inspiring that you can turn to this indescribable, infinite, everlasting, loving source of everything when you feel lost, withered, empty and broken. I’m so grateful.

Relate to this on many levels, Eric. I’ve had to reevaluate my habits and relationships recently in order to keep me from getting caught in a downward spiral amidst all the recent noise and news. It’s been a good time to reorder priorities and focus on areas - God, family, and community more than anything - with real long lasting fulfillment and reward. It also sparked me to get back on nostr and connecting with your words is a good sign that this is a necessary adjustment in my life. God is sovereign over it all and that is a comforting thought. Blessings to you brother.

Back on nostr and following all the tik tok refugees and nostr:npub1xr7t5h0l25ej73pm04zgz9afeexyzsjx67s5v0xxf2sshjn4sx6sep2gqh crowd that I come across. Perfect time to reconnect with this community amidst all the other noise.

“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Quiet friend who has come so far,

feel how your breathing makes more space around you.

Let this darkness be a bell tower

and you the bell. As you ring,

what batters you becomes your strength.

Move back and forth into the change.

What is it like, such intensity of pain?

If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine.

In this uncontainable night,

be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses,

the meaning discovered there.

And if the world has ceased to hear you,

say to the silent earth: I flow.

To the rushing water, speak: I am.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke

So great meeting you Susie! That beefsteak was something else…

Yes. We learn through pain. Or said differently from the band As I Lay Dying: “Only through struggle have I found rest”

Got a new phone and didn’t transfer my 2FA info with my Authenticator app. Rookie move. Face meet palm.

Roger that. I’m on Damus. Think offload app and reload app is the best way to clear cache. Don’t see an option in Damus settings.

This ski summit has been something else. Met so many incredible and inspiring folks. Wouldn’t be anywhere else. Safe travels, catch you at the next one.
