Notes to Myself Today

 Notes to Myself Today:
Which one hits home for you?
Number 4 was an oh-so-gentle reminder that I need to be part of the solution, and not part of making the problem worse. 

That'll preach. I mean frankly, there's a whole sermon in those few lines of text. And I just stomped on my own toes, so...there's that. Time for some changes in my attitude. 

Yesterday is heavy. Put it down.

 I found this on Sweet Blessings' page this morning and it really resonated with me. 

Yesterday is heavy. Put it down. 

Sweet Blessings

No matter what you faced yesterday- a broken relationship, some sort of argument with a friend or family member, a yucky conversation, the big mistake you made, the fact that you got nothing done on your giant to-do list, that sin you can’t seem to shake- today is a new day- full of God’s Grace and mercy.

Many days will leave us broken, beat-up, and barely hanging on. And you know what? That’s okay. There was enough mercy for that day. Lamentations 3:22-23 says: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” and is a beautiful reminder that there are new mercies every single morning (Praise the Lord!).

Yesterday is heavy- put it down. We must lay down yesterday & not dwell on it, fix our eyes on Jesus, and cast your burdens on him, again- each and every day. My prayer this morning is that we are able to lay yesterday down and be reminded that God’s mercies are new this (& every) morning!

Redeeming the Quarantine: May 14th

 As heard on the radio this morning:

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

We did not ask for this room or this music.

We were invited in.

Therefore, because the dark surrounds us, let us turn our faces to the light.

Let us endure hardship to be grateful for plenty.

We have been given pain to be astounded by joy.

We have been given life to deny death.

We did not ask for this room or this music.

But because we are here, let us dance.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Read that again. Let it sink deeply into your soul. We didn’t ask for any of this. But because we are here, let us dance. Amen and Amen!
