Forgotten Plans

Good morning and happy Friday. So many times we make plans to do something. I'm gonna do this and this and then I'm gonna do this. We have every intention of getting it done but one thing or another comes up and we never get them done. Not all the time, but most of the time it's because it's not as important to us as the thing that came up and distracted us. Well good news, God does not get distracted or forgets the plans He has made for us. He will never forsake you. You are always on His mind and most importantly His heart. The only requirement of us is to follow his plan. Fall in love with Him and His Son and follow. What an amazing journey He will lead us on. The things on your heart is what you don't forget. You are on His, put Him in yours. In love always. <><

Just Passing BY

Good morning and happy Thursday. Ever have someone just pull out in front of you and then just drive on like they never saw you? They never gave you a moments notice. And then we all say it, " what are you blind? Can't you see me here?". How many people do we pass everyday needing to hear about Jesus and what His salvation brings? How many times have we just kept walking?  Not always do we see, but are we really looking?  Sometimes it's people we know and just don't think about talking to. They are the ones seeing you with everyone else and not seeing them. This awareness for people comes from having a close relationship with God. It's in those times He lets you see through His eyes what needs are to be met. Spend time getting close to Him and see what He has for you to do. In love always. <><

The Easy Road

Good morning and happy Wednesday. Been up driving all night and came to realize something; I can't do it all night and when I get in the construction, I really have to concentrate. When I'm on the regular non-construction it's nice and easy. It's the same with God, when it's hard going I can find Him easy. When things are good, I don't call on Him as much. It's in those long easy times I really need more time with Him. That's when it's the best to grow with Him. But we seem to rely on ourselves then way too much. We forget we need Him so He puts up some construction signs and makes us concentrate more on Him. Enjoy the drive today; especially the tough spots. In love always. <><

Refreshed

Good morning and happy Tuesday. Doesn't it feel good to be refreshed? To have the days that have beaten you down be melted away and just find that sense of renewal. Most of us don't realize the need for it and so don't ever really step away from things long enough to get it. I bet everything would be handled and covered if you weren't there to do it. We act like we're the ones in charge and it will all fall apart if we don't handle it. Now we can't all spend 40 days on vacation. Jesus' time in the desert was spent staying close to the Father. We need that renewal in our spirit to get back to a closer place than ever before. It's how we grow. So if you haven't, try and take some time away from the world and just be with God. It can be as easy as just letting everything go for a while and simply taking in the world around you. No hustle and bustle, just letting go of the worldly things that keep us occupied and away from God. Breathe, relax and enjoy life a little bit more. In love always <><

Life Is Hard

Good morning and happy Monday. Parents shouldn't ever have to say goodbye to a child. It just doesn't seem right. The bewilderment in their eyes and the wonder as to why is so easily seen on their face. We know that a better place is where they've gone and that we will see them again, but it doesn't help us now. I think of Mary as she watched her son die. With all that she knew about who He was and from where He came and to where He was going and what this meant for the world, it hurt. Why? It's a reminder of our humanity. We're not whole yet. Until that day that God calls us home we need Him. For our strength, comfort, and provision. When people pass, we begin to examine life. Theirs, ours and see the good in them. We beat ourselves up enough with the bad. Find God in all things and there you will find the good. And it may have to hurt a little. In love always. <><
