Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ, because he is the one who gives me strength.

In the midst of his trials Paul learned reliance, he learned contentment. He learned life with God isn’t the absence of trials, but an opportunity to meet Christ in the midst of them. He didn’t bend beneath the weight of the pressure, he endured and rose to the top. Don’t succumb to the pressure, like Paul allow yourself to be molded by the maker. He’s all about creating masterpieces.

Romans 5:3-5

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Blessings!

Deuteronomy 28:6 Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed.

Life throws us curve balls, but His promise remains. Let this perspective frame your thinking. Don’t focus on life’s obstacles, instead keep an eye out for the blessing and remember to be a blessing. So the next time life throws you another curve ball know, God is always the game changer.

Play ball!

Psalms 119:105

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

His word is waiting for you to guide you in every step you make. Don’t disappear, read it and glean from it the knowledge His words holds. You’re never without answer, you’re never without direction, and most importantly in every decision you make you’re never alone.

Even in our unbelief, He still believes in us.

I’m reminded of Thomas who upon seeing Jesus after His resurrection doubted who He was. Jesus in His love revealed Himself by extending His nail scarred hands. He’s waiting to reveal Himself still today. He’s still the peruser of hearts and He’s not afraid of our doubts and fears.Jesus knows your heart and the answer to the hard questions you may have so why not ask Him today. He longs to be known even by those who deny Him indefinitely. His love for His children never changes.

Blessings!

How true!

I can’t count the number of times I’ve made lists and carefully outlined every detail of an outing including going the extra mile to lay out clothes and pack the diaper bag in advance only to arrive late to my destination despite my many efforts.

Perhaps you’ve been there, the alarm clock doesn’t go off, one of the kids melts down, or my favorite, you leave the house on time only to get in the car and realize your sitting on E.

Before kids the same rang true, lost keys, left the phone at home, or a dog that would rather sniff grass and walk in circles than do her business. The list goes on.

If you’re anything like me all these little inconveniences tend to set a negative tone for the day, build up anxiety, and causes you to rush.

I recently saw a necklace through Proverbs31 ministries and it said, unrush me. What a beautiful reminder.

So the next time you feel rushed and become distracted by life’s circumstances why not pray those two little words, unrush me.

If we stop trying to control our agenda and simply submit our day to Him from the beginning we might just be surprised at the opportunities to be used by Him in the midst of all these distractions. After all, He knew these things were going to happen anyway.

Blessings!
