I’ve been struggling to move forward in the work I believe God is calling me to.

I write to Him about it.

I listen to worship music to hear His ideas.

I sit on my porch with my coffee in hand with my dog.

I walk and listen to podcasts that are focused on helping me keep moving forward.

I’ve been doing this for years.

Some tell me I need to give up.

Some believe in me that I can do it.

What matters the most is God.

How He sees me.

I’m His precious daughter.

Made to Love Him.

Made to Flourish in His love for me.

So Today, that’s what I’m doing.

Deciding to Trust Him more.

This is becoming a practice for me.

On purpose Trusting Him more with my mind.

With my actions.

With my Being.

What have you been dreaming about doing?

Has procrastination stolen so much of your time?

Me too.

I felt a shift in me today.

God said in my heart, I have commissioned you, like I commissioned Moses.

Moses finally believed in God’s strength inside him.

That’s what I’m doing today.

How about you?

We can Trust God together.

Stay in this lane.

No matter what the world is doing.

I love you.

Thanks for reading.

God loves you the most!!

I’m sitting in the vet office.

Chloe is sick.

She’s shaking on my lap.

I’m worried.

I tell her you’re safe.

I’ve got you.

I feel God tell me the same.

In the moment I feel thankful.

Thankful that God sees me.

Thankful that God uses hard things to talk to me.

His peace I felt.

I’m thankful Chloe is ok.

I love her so much.

Losing my last dog was hard.

I’m thankful God gave me Chloe.

What have you lost that’s hard?

God’s comfort is there for you. 2 Corinthians 1:3

Receive it.

I love you.

He loves you the most.

“Into Faith I go.”

I love this thought by Pat Barrett.

Every day can be an “Into Faith I go.”

It seems like when I’m really struggling,

God reminds me of faith.

What if every day I just decided on purpose “Into faith I go!”

Faith is what pleases God.

I want to please Him every day.

What about you?

When life is wearing us down,

Into Faith we can go.

Cheers to new beginnings with God.

Do you need one?

Recently I sat on my porch and toasted cheers to God.

I was listening to a new song He brought into my music stream.

Love Note, by UpperRoom.

Jesus is my One thing.

This song expresses that so beautifully.

What is your One thing?

Invite God into it.

Thank Him for it.

Thanking Him Blesses Him.

He’s given me so many blessings.

I’m documenting them more.

Keeping a Book of Remembrance. Malachi 3:16

I love using the DayOne App to digitally keep a record of God’s goodness.

What’s your favorite way to remember God’s goodness?

Let’s Bless Him more today! :)

Never believe the thought, “I’m not creative enough.”

You always have God inside you.

The Greatest Creator.

So that thought is Never true.

Not and God don’t go together.

He is the Great I AM.

There is nothing lacking in Him.

Are you believing the lie,

“I’m not creative enough.

Good enough.

Smart enough?”

Me too.

Until I’m done with that.

Today, I am.

Because the Great I AM

Is showing me how.

Himself.

Living in me.

Not and God don’t go together.

He is the Great I AM.

Nothing is ever lacking in Him.

Since He lives in me,

I am always enough in Him.

Creative enough.

Good enough.

Smart enough.

And so are you.

Because He makes us that way.

What have you wanted to create?

Take the Not out of your believing.

Keep focus on Him.

Thoughts that don’t support us come & go.

Jesus is our forever.

He loves us the most!

Thinking how we want to think is such a gift.

Thank You God That you allow us to think how we want to think.

And we can want what we want.

What if God didn’t want us to do anything.

He just wanted us to be with Him.

Isn’t that what our parents want?

They don’t want us to do something for them.

They want us to be with them.

They want to spend time with us.

What if you look at your relationship with God like spending time in an important relationship.

Like your Mom,

Like your spouse,

Like your sister.

What if God never wanted us to do anything for Him.

He only wanted us to be with Him.

I know He loves us the most.

Simply be with Him.

That’s what Thankful Keeping is all about.

The gifts God puts in your heart to enjoy Him with are priceless. One of those for me is the beach. Enjoying God at the beach is one of my favorite places to enjoy Him. What about you?
