June 2020 - Built for Heaven

Eleven-Eleven

By Angelica Bakhos June 24, 2020Lifestyle

I find beauty in the parallel lines of 11:11; since I look for any excuse to say a little prayer during the chaos of my everyday, I say a prayer when the clock strikes that time. I'll stop what I'm doing, bow my head, and talk to God. I'll say a prayer of gratitude or make a request. I'll check in with myself, and ask the Lord to continue to bless me.

My dad was cleaning out his closet one day. He pulled out this shirt-sweater-thing. It wasn't pretty, but it also wasn't ugly. It was really cool, though, and I wanted it. It had varying shades of red, yellow, and green stripes. It was a statement piece for sure.

God is faithful. He provides. His promise for me is, quite literally, a seed: growing in love and faith through a nurturing God's tender and gentle hands, a master gardener tending to those whom He loves. He waters us, gives us enough light, and plants us in good soil. He does this so gracefully for each one of us. We are His.

Your Heart is My Home

By Angelica Bakhos June 3, 2020Faith

His heart, the place I long to be united with most in this life, and eventually in Heaven for all eternity (hence the blog name), is where I build my home. I want to dwell in His heart; I want to dwell in His love. His heart - His limitless, free, and eternal love - is my home.
