#way #turnnorth
We as God’s children have a renewed life under His blessings. For generations to come we continue to see His provisions. Today, this week, this month, or even this year you may feel like you cannot hear or see those blessings and provisions. Think of how the Israelites felt after wandering for 40 years.
#attitude #waterwalkinggirls
Attitude: (noun) a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person’s behavior. Similar words: point of view, vantage point, perspective, frame of mind.
I was grumpy. Circumstances had not gone as planned. The more I thought about my circumstances the more upset I became and the more my attitude was plummeting. What could I do to get out of this funk? I texted two Christian friends and shared with them how I was feeling. Each offered words of encouragement. Each prayed for me. Each reminded me who I am and whose I am. To be honest, I did not immediately have a change of attitude but I was able to grapple my way out of the hole that I had begun to dig.
#youareessential
I want you to think of yourself as this beautiful blossomed tree. You are strong. So strong that you can carry this birdhouse for the birds to feed. You are beautiful. So beautiful that you are admired by all those that see your beauty. Now I ask this question from 1 Cor 3:16 NIV; Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s spirit dwells in your midst? I am a firm believer in nurturing both our mental and physical health. Since we are a temple for God’s spirit, shouldn’t we take care of our bodies?
#delay #immeasurablymore #flipyourfocus #waterwalkinggirls
When parts of my life seem to be stuck in a delay I find that waiting is hard. What about you? As I wait it seems some days go by so quickly. Other days seem to drip away as slowly as molasses. I know in my heart that God’s timing will be perfect but the wheels in my head keep spinning the questions: When, what if, why, how long? If I am not careful I could allow myself to slip into a tornado of questioning and doubting. However, in my delay God has taught me to rely on Him and to flip my focus.
#For-goodness-sake
For-goodness-sake! We’ve all either heard this or said this before. It is an adverb used to express frustration. Deborah and I always share that we feel more attacked by Satan on our posting weeks than ever before. There have been a few days this week where For-goodness-sake may have been in my vocabulary. I really didn’t’ think I had anything good to share with you all today and then I went for a much needed 5 mile run on Thursday.
