||Whispers Come To Pass||

Last week was hard. It rained a ton making the roads difficult to drive on and giving me anxiety about the guests I was planning on having over on Sunday. I learned more than I ever had about my video editing software, because I had to make deadlines that couldn't be extended. The overwhelming sense of responsibility I felt as Peter and Tammy were leaving made my head hurt.
 
Many tears, moments of frustration and confusion hit me almost every day of the week.

But God said to me in the middle of the week though, "I want to bless you". And Sunday, Monday and today I've seen His sweet whisper come to pass.

Time and time again I'm reminded of His faithfulness.

Happy Tuesday!!

||Then It Did||

"I'm going to have a motorcycle phase"

I use to say that all the time. But I didn't think it would actually happen.

And then it did.

Here's to random dreams coming true!

Happy Saturday

||Precious Treasures||

"There is a giving to serve others and there is a giving to serve oneself. There is a giving to promote and a giving to dominate. But without love, there is only paternalism and self-importance. There is only a giving of surplus, not the giving of precious treasures"

I read this, in F. Kefa Sempangi's book, A Distant Grief this morning. It convicted me and served as a reminder. Oddly though, not beckoning me to give money to a charity or go out, and do something dramatic but rather look at the ways I was praying.   

I realized that though God cares so much about me personally and loves to hear my cries, it's also easy for me to get stuck in praying selfishly. 

I believe there's a time and a place to look inward and focus on oneself, but just as important is to intercede for others. Sometimes, things or money isn't what God requires of us in our generosity. Sure, He uses that and it's good, but He also cares about the thoughts we have towards the people around us. 

And it's all of equal importance to Him as we're choosing to obey and become more like Him.  

 

God is so gracious in His reminders. 

Happy Thursday!
