Today Is Already Known To God

November 5, 2024November 4, 2024

Today is not unknown to God. Today has never been unknown to God. So today, we trust an unknown future to a knowing God.

God has already established “this” person, for his purposes. No one can thwart it. No one can change it. Not even one state. Not even one county. Not even one vote.

May we walk through today in prayer for God’s will to be done, for our hearts to be softened by his grace and kindness, and for us to trust His unfailing and sovereign will. No matter what happens, our mission on this earth doesn’t change. Our purposes don’t change. We are here to glorify God through loving him and loving others – well. Do it well, today.

Let me end with this:

“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” – Proverbs 16:9

May we all trust in this truth today, tomorrow, the next 4 years, and until the King comes again!

DIY Makeup Remover

For about the past 5 years, I have been using a DIY makeup remover, that still to this day, I absolutely LOVE. It is all-natural, uses all oils (strange, I know, if you want to CLEAN your face), but if using a product for 5 years says anything, I think it’s worth a try! My…

End of the Year Youth Group Fun

Home Tour – Dining Room

I recently did a tour of our living room and now I’m excited to show you a glimpse of our dining room! One thing we appreciate (amongst MANY other things) is that it has an open concept. Our house was built in the 1920s, so it’s almost 100 years old, but I’m sure back in the…

Do You Ever Dream?

I sometimes find myself dreaming. Dreaming about our past, our todays, and our tomorrows. Yes, I even dream about our past. I have been busy writing our story into a book and of course in doing so, it brings back all of the memories, the joys, and even the grief. I sometimes dream about what…

Thrifty Thursday – Less of Me

Living more simply for me, means living with less. Well, that also means living with less of ME. I read Romans 8 recently and I couldn’t help but think about how God has given us a new life, but how we try to fight it daily, by clinging onto our old selves. How about you?…
