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!

A New Kind of Normal

On Sunday Dan and I took a walk. On that walk, God revamped something in us – He gave us a renewed passion for life. As we walked and talked, we realized we need to keep moving forward. I know I have mentioned that numerous times before. The life God has us living right now is…

Just Like You

I knew there was that one toy we just had to have. A toy vacuum. I know for some, it may be something completely different, but you know that “one” toy that you either had growing up or something you saw in the store and KNEW your child had to have it. Well, that was…

Around The Home

We have survived a week without her wubs! Last week I had cut the paci off and ever since, she has said it’s “broke, sad.” It was a rough first couple of days, nights, and naptime, but now she only asks about wubs about once a day. We have also been working on getting her…

You Are More Than An Opinion

It was one of those days. I was at an appointment with a health professional (not my doctor) and I thought it would just be a routine appointment. It started off with her calling my daughter’s name… “Mazy!” I immediately stood up, gathered our stuff, fumbling trying to quickly put it all in the bag…

Heart Journey Update – Ablations

I am home! Not sleeping in your own bed and not having a window to the outside world, sure makes you appreciate life at home all the more. And we are back together as family of 3. I know many of you read my update on Facebook about how the procedure went, but I’ll hopefully…

10 DAYS OF GRATITUDE – Day 1

Memories of sitting at a desk, seeing a journal prompt written on a chalkboard, overhead, and then whiteboard, so vividly fills my mind. Pulling open the cardboard cover a new journal, seeing a blank, fresh, white piece of paper lay before me, waiting to be filled with dreams, thoughts, possibilities, and convictions. Strangely I eagerly…
