Turn your eyes upon Jesus 

The unexpected. The unknowns. The fears. 

Lord, please help my brother in law tonight who is in the hospital. 

The Lord is the God of miracles. With a word he made you and me. With a word he makes the lame walk and the blind to see. With a word he calms the storms. He says “cast your nets on the other side” to completely fill nets to overflowing and show his sufficiency. 

Dear God, show your power. Act; move; move us. 

Good things 

So many good things. 

God is the giver of good gifts. I stand amazed at the works of His hand. 

On tough days and great days alike, I always try to give God thanks for at least 5 things in that day. Gratitude and thankfulness can become a habit! Train your mind and choose thankfulness! You may just end up falling asleep with a smile on your face and in your heart. ♥️

Day 7

I made it through to day 5 going strong, and then the tears came. I miss my honey! 

Tonight I was with his family at a party; my family. Oh how I love them. I smile when I think of you sweetheart. Everyone says hi. 

While you are away I am trying to be productive and grow; and of course think positive. We have so much to be thankful for. Seasons change and yet we have a constant: Gods grace and his love. 

My honey sent me this pic one morning before work this week. 

Lord; how big you are. Thank you for the beauty in your creation. Point my eyes, mind, and heart to you. When I am feeling sad, fill me with your promises, Peace, and joy. 

Strengthen Me

I draw near to You. You always listen and draw me in. You work in ways I cannot predict. Your ways are better. 

You strengthen me inside and out. Keep me growing. Keep me close to you.

Establish the work of my hands Jesus. 

In the powerful name of Jesus, Amen. 

New beginnings 

You are making me move. You know the best way. You are the way. Your power alone makes things happen. You speak and life happens. 

Help me Jesus. Guide my steps. Turn my heart to be sensitive to Your continued leading. 

Your promises are steadfast! In You is blessing and life abundantly! Amen. 

Day 3

3 days without you. Going strong. No breakdowns, yet. It helps to hear your voice.

I have started talking to the cat. I don’t think he knows English…but it helps me.

I am realizing I don’t have to constantly be on my phone–texting; social media; phone calls; FaceTime.

My goals while you are gone: lose 10 pounds; get abs; start private practice; see my niece and nephews; start training for my 10k. Too lofty? I’ll let you know how it goes.
