I find myself secure in God’s hand even in the storm of life. God is woking in the situation and I know that God is always good all the time. That I can rest in him.

Dear Gen, thank you so much for sharing your sentence with 'secure'.
To be honest, I'm sometimes scared to confess from my heart that God is good all the time.
But it's something I trust with all my being. Yes, God is good all the time!

I feel secure when I am before God’s presence. I really want to stand on the rocks of Jesus Christ at every moment of a whole life.

I feel secure when I dwell in His presence. Even when I juggle and feel like everything is out of control, God is holding me tight and never lets me down.

What makes me secure is a sincere relationship based on deep love and trust with my family, neighbor and God.
'The relationship' would be the first thing God created in the beginning.

Dear Dana, how wonderful your writing is!
I can't agree with you more when you said 'the relatinoship' is the first thing God created in the beginning.
That's why we need each other to realize what it means to live art in God's grace.
Thank you for giving us this amazing opportunity to be a part of your beautiful 10 days.
Keep up the good work. Sweet dreams!

I feel secure everytime I walk with my loving Jejus. I've never felt protected before. I always had a reason to be afraid. Now I am not afraid because Jejus look after me all the time with amazing love.
I am deeply touched by ashley's sining lullabies to her children. How beutiful it is sowing truth and love from God to children's heart. I feel like singing lullabies to myself sometimes at night expressing thanks to God.

Dear Daniella, thank you so much for sharing your writing with us.
It's such a blessing to read yours.
I haven't thought about singing lullabies to myself. Maybe I should tonight!

No secure. Why? Ever since I had a baby, I have been anxious when I wake up in the morning. Last night, the sleeping Jubilee came to me bleeding and screaming. It was nosebleed. It's common. Yesterday, I forgot to hung a wet towel next Jubi and put cream on her nose. I felt like it's my responsibility.
It's not my responsibility to make to make my children feel secure in every circumstance.
I wrote this sentence. I pray... Please give me, your secure in You.

But trust me. I'm there with you.
One thing I'm sure of is that God delights in our honest spirit.

I’ve been married for six years. And it’s still not easy. Before we got married, we’d read and shared many books about biblical marriage.
“The marriage builder” by Dr. Larry Crabb was one of those books. Author says there are two personal needs, security and significance. Also, to become deeply one at the level of couple’s personal needs in marriage, we have to depend on the Lord to meet our needs.
I should practice not relying on my husband, but God. The only way that I can be secure is depending on God, who is perfect, and who is love.

Dear Stella, thank you for your writing! I should read the book, "The Marriage Builder". Have you read 'The 5 Love Languages" written by Dr. Garry Chapman? It is also a wonderful book to ponder upon all kinds of relatinoships, including marriage. Anyways, I totally agree with you when you said the only way that we can be secure is relying on God. Amen, my sister. Amen!

It is must-read book! I definitely recommend this book.
We’d read “The 5 Love Languages” as well, but I will have to read it one more time! Thank you, Ashley :)

From the Book
Perhaps those who make art in the ways we traditionally think of art give the rest of us a framework from which to live our lives. They offer a gift of knowing what life could look like if it were handled more like a mysterious piece of art rather than a task-oriented list. We may not all have the same skill or training as do the painters or the musicians, but we all bear the image of a creative God.
In coming up with a working definition of an artist for the purposes of this book, perhaps we could say, then, that being an artist has something to do with being brave enough to move toward what makes you come alive.
Art means believing that the God who created the world with words alone creates with words still, through us—whether it be on a stage to thousands or in a corner with one.
Maybe you make paintings, or maybe you make pie.
Maybe you live confidently in the midst of scary situations.
Maybe you are brave enough to listen, to wait, to trust.
Maybe you see potential in situations and in people that others aren’t able to see.
Art is what happens when you dare to be who you really are.
...
When we live free, we are able to give freedom. When we live loved, we are able to give love. When we are secure, we are able to offer security. God reveals himself through every artist, and the artist is you.
The question isn’t who is the artist? The question becomes who are you?
<A Million LIttle Ways> Emily P. Freeman p20-21
Ashley's Note
Bedtime routine for my two five and six-year-old children: Read one or two books, Pray, and Fall asleep while I sing them lullabies. I usually sing three songs repeatidely, and one of them is a hymn that I've sung almost every night of their lives. It's called "Jesus Loves Me, This I Know."
Jesus loves me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong.
Jesus loves me, he who died
Heaven's gate to open wide
He will wash a way my sin
Let his little child come in
Jesus loves me, loves me still
Though I'm very weak and ill
From His shining throne on high
Comes to watch me when I lie
Jesus loves me, He will stay
Close beside me all the way
I love him and when I die
He will take me home on high
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so.
It’s not my responsibility to make my children feel secure in every circumstance. I must confess with my agonizing heart that it’s way beyond my capacity. What I’m responsible of, instead, is to introduce them the ultimate source of security—The rock that will never forsake them throughout EVERY SEASON of their lives.
As I sing lullabies every night, I pray that the day would come soon—the day when my children would sing the hymn as their souls’ confession. That makes it one of my artistic routines as a mom of two little children, sharing my prayer in lullabies. How about you? In what areas of your ordinary life do you live as an artist? Please do share your sentences with us and become an inspiration for all. Your voice matters.
