Good Morning Beauties!
Oh my goodness, so much can happen in a matter of days! It’s only been 10 days since our last “check-in” where we reflected on our journey to date. Since then, our world has been darkened by a health and economic crisis. Today is a perfect day to check-in and reflect on truth.
Today is important to stop and make time to gather your thoughts, your feelings, and your beliefs in light of your new reality. Usually on days of reflection, we look at the preparation steps and determine if they’re helpful in making your journey successful. I think it’s important to do so again today, but there’s more. How are you doing? Really doing? In your journal, write how you’re feeling, what you’re thinking, and how both are forming your beliefs. Now, determine if those beliefs are based on God’s truth or the circumstances surrounding you.
All it takes is to watch a “Pandemic Update” on the news to bring back fear and anxiety. The world is suffering right now, there’s no doubt about it. But, sweet Beauties, we are not of this world. Our true home is with God, and His promises are yes and AMEN. His Word tells us we will have trouble, but He will be right there with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Do you believe Him?
Like most people right now, my job is uncertain, and I can’t find my financial security in it. Of course this situation brings concern. I must pray for wisdom and make good choices with my finances. What is not helpful is to panic and bring fear and doubt into my soul. Fear is not of God, and I won’t allow it to rule my life.
When I got up this morning, I was delighted to see it had snowed just enough to cover the ground. Beautiful. It’s as if God wanted to blanket the Earth with His covering of peace and calm. There are so many birds singing and squirrels playing. They are free from worry in God’s presence. He is with them, so they can do what they were made to do, free from fear.
I’m praying for all of you today. I pray we all can have that same confidence in God as we continue to walk on our journeys. I pray for the HUGE worldly distractions to be quieted so we can hear His still small voice. I pray we see growth in our courage, bravery, and BEAUTY.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
