The Gift of the Good Life

Hi!!! Long time no see! 🤍
This post is a little different, but I wanted to share it today!

Some of my writing is more organized - with thought questions, reflections, and an intended clear message... but I am continually reminded that the more I categorize and put things into little boxes in my brain, the more I anticipate an intended outcome, & the more I confine the works of the Lord, the more He will exceed my expectations and surpass my understanding.

So today I want to share the part of my writing that is purely a form of worship & praise - a reflection & meditation on my time in the Word of the Lord.

Here is a little praise from my soul for Psalm 119.

Shared a little more of my heart yesterday... here is an 8-minute devotional & a little bit of encouragement for those in an overwhelming season. 🫶🏼

John 21:25
Jesus did many other things as well, & if every one of them were written down, not even the world itself would have enough room for the books that would be written.

Here are a few reminders for those in a season of loneliness...

Jesus answered, "What I'm doing you don't realize now, but afterward you will understand." - John 13:7

We often try to make sense of the things going on in our lives. Unfortunately, though, it is not our place to know the reason for or the purpose of the uncomfortable seasons we go through. We do know, though, that the Lord works all things together for his good & glory, so we must cling to this truth.

- whatever you accomplished today was enough. you are worthy of rest tonight.
- don't carry the stress of today into tomorrow. tomorrow will have enough worries of its own.
