Some days are hard.

Saw someone post and thought I'd share

"Some days are hard. Some days it's difficult to find the joy. But then someone offers to take your cart for you, not to use, but to actually put away for you. And then sometimes you run into a friend you haven't seen in years and you get to hug each other and smile, those are the days to hold onto those are the days that you pause and look and remember the joy you found.

The point is, life isn't easy but the days don't wait for them to get better. At the end of your day, think about things that went right or made you smile. It may be the sun, or the full moon, or a child's laugh, or a good cup of coffee. Hold on to that. Write it down and post it somewhere you can see to help remind you. Keep a list. My list? It even has pineapple on it because I like pineapple."

I hope this post helps, it helped me.

Life happens

Being an adult isn't a horrible thing. We get to have children, grandchildren, do things without asking for permission, just to name a few. Of course there are some things about the growing up that can be challenging--having to pay bills. Realizing that you can't do the same things you did when you're 20. And my favorite, having several things that need to be replaced at one time. Things like a car tire, a close dryer, a water heater, a toaster,  a  food processor (although not a priority), and a garage freezer.   In the midst of all these things, our bathtub and washing machine backed up... challenging as this can all be, I'll take being an adult over going back to homework and being a kid any day.

Thunder and Lightening

I really love thunder and lightening, i mean REALLY love it. I actually get bummed when the weather says "chance" and it passes me by. But this morning, i heard a soft rumble. so i stepped outside. Clouds covered the morning sky but i didn't see anything. and then, a flash. and a very soft rumble in the distance. and then another flash followed by a soft rumble. I stood in my front yard staring at the sky and a breeze picked up. I waited. Another flash. Something about the soft distant ruble, i don't even know how to explain it. And then off to the right, a long bolt flashed across the sky as if to "close the show". The wind kept blowing and some drops of water fell from the sky. I could have stood there longer, waiting. There was just so much peace. It was a great start to the day. Psalm 29:3, 7

Yet

Recently I was asked to share a thought to be used as a devotional. At first, I panicked because im not good at it. There's so much going on it's difficult to find a space, and I have a hard time being consistent. Just because I work at the church office doesn't mean I've got it all figured out, I still struggle. I don't always find the space or time to just sit with God and listen.  The great news is God is not disappointed in me and He doesn't love me less. So, I have two things I'd like to share- a verse and a song. The verse is Habakkuk 3:17-19, you can read it yourself, but it says how all these things aren’t going right and then he says  “yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength;” I call it my “yet” verse because even if things are not going the way I think they should, I will still rejoice in the Lord. Then there is this song, “Goodness of God.” I play this on repeat often. There are a few ve...
