an impostor, Fear prances around like King.
and with his lies, he’s self-pronounced dominion over everything.

but there is One.
bright shining as the sun,
he has come
to dawn on the horizon of your life.
the true King, he sings, the song of love.
mercy and truth set the foundation for his throne,
and all the good he’s planned for you could never be fully known.
he’s overthrown the impostor,
righted what was wrong, brought peace where death has sown disaster.
his is the Kingdom of love,
and all that fear has sown has been undone.
he has won!

with grace, he seeks the one, knocking on the door of death.
and with his kiss of love, he offers every man his breath, of life.

hey, I'm Randi!

Today is an unspoiled gift, given to you to be enjoyed, used up, completely spent, and sucked dry of all it’s worth. Don’t sell Today short – get the most out of it. Press it, pull it, squeeze it, shake it – until all of the goodness and joy and beauty that could possibly come from it has been dispensed. And then fall asleep at it’s end, completely satisfied in your content confidence, and absolutely persuaded that when you wake, you’ll get the beautiful opportunity to do it all again.

Be intentional about today.
Perceive it;
Grab a hold of it;
Suck it dry of all it has to offer;
And then give thanks for it.
For tomorrow will surely come.
