However, I was able to get a casserole ready for baking for my granddaughter's 8th grade graduation tonight, her request. I finished her cake last night.
I had an appointment this morning & prayer group at 1:00. I hope to get a nap in somehow.
I tell you all this to say, I'm good anyway. There is a song that I sing the refrain every day. It is 10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman. The part that keeps me going says to sing like never before and to be singing when evening comes no matter what comes my way during my day. This helps me to keep focused on my blessings not my trials.
When you give yourself to God, you become aware of His Presence in all things. You see His hand in whatever you encounter throughout the day. He has a plan for your life that you might have life in abundance.
Abundance doesn't necessarily mean a quantity of time. It means that with Him in your life, He can use all things for your good. It means that even in the hardest of times you can have peace and hope because you know He is with you. My favorite scripture is Romans 8:28 - 30
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. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
Keep your head up and be strong! HE IS WITH YOU!!!
