Don’t you love when you get to chat w/ a friend? You just sit & talk about life. Nothing major, neither one is looking for solutions to anything, your just sharing. I love it, I got to do that last nite. We see each other a couple times through out the week, but to just really catch up, we only get that here & there. So it was nice. On my way home I even said, “thanks God!! That was refreshing!!” I felt like He smiled. Like He would’ve said to me, “I got you girl!! I know when you need a little boost!!” And He does. He knows when we need encouragement—He knows when we need to just be still—even when we need some discipline (ouch! never fun!) so He knows us & He takes care of us We are His children & He is our good good Father!!! We can trust in Him, in His plans for us. I was reading in Psalms the other day & chp 10-verse 17 says, “you put your ear to their lips.” Can’t you just picture God leaning down & getting so close to us, that we just whisper in His ear!!??!! I love that picture in my head. I love that He loves me that much, that no matter what it is I’m asking or saying He wants to know—wants to hear!! He does that for all of us. He loves each & everyone of us in that way!!! I hope that brings you encouragement-comfort-& peace. That whatever it is you may need right now, God is here, ready & able to give it to you!! Go to Him, speak to Him, & excitedly wait for Him to put His ear to your lips!! That will truly be the best part of our day...chatting w/ our Father!!! Jeremiah 1:5- Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart...” Don’t you love when you get to chat w/ a friend? You just sit & talk about life.

I never thought I was a routine kinda girl. I always thought of myself as a go w/ the flow type of person & maybe for the most part I am, but ever since we’ve come back from Christmas break I can not get things done, especially in the mornings, that I used too. It’s frustrating to me. At one point I thought maybe I should get up earlier, well I already get up at 5, 4:30, even 4:45, just doesn’t sound appealing in the least. So I’m struggling to figure out what I should do—need to do. Like what can I move around or change so that I’m not rushing & anxious in the mornings? I’ve prayed about this b/c it’s really important to me that I don’t give up on anything or go the opposite direction of what God is asking of me. So I guess I’m saying all this to tell you all that the devotions might start coming in the afternoon & to ask that maybe you could just say a prayer for me. Pray that I can get this thing figured out, & I won’t give up anything, just put stuff where it needs to be. I thank you all, I love you all, & I’m sorry for some of my weird craziness spilling over to you all Lol!! I hope your Tuesday is as terrific as you all are!!! Romans 8:28- And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

1John 1:5- This is the message we have heard from him & declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all....I don’t know about you all, but I needed to hear this verse. I needed that reminder that no matter what it looks like around me..I am a child of light. That there is always joy that comes from being in His light. Darkness might be here for a little while, but it doesn’t stay, He doesn’t let it stay!! He calls us out of it, He walks w/ us & protects us. I just find that so encouraging & I pray that you do too. Whatever it may look like around you, always remember God is here!! He will protect & take care of you & if your feeling the weight of darkness....keep clinging to Him & know that His light will shine on you once again!!!
