A Note to the Enemy

It is our great privilege to inform you…that you have been defeated. Forever.

Faith has won. Hope has won. Love has won.

Happy Easter!

It Will be Worth It

Heard this song at church today, as part of a message about patient endurance. As in, trusting God knows what He is doing and that He hasn’t forgotten you, even during the low points of life and when you’re not getting the answers you’re hoping for.

Great reminder to me to keep pressing on when life doesn’t make sense, or when the answers may not seem to be coming.

At the same time today, a great opportunity to give thanks for all of the things that are coming together and the answers to prayer that have been given.

God is faithful. Keep going. Keep trusting. Keep turning to Him. The reward will be worth it, in the end.

Have a great day.

Praise Report

It’s been really cool lately to see good things happening to some of the people I love the most. After what has seemed like a long season of difficulties and struggles, I am seeing favor and blessing upon them in some pretty big ways, and I can’t hide my joy about it. It’s overwhelming to see what’s happening…in a good way.

Thanks, God, for listening to prayers and always being there.

O praise the name of the Lord our God.
O praise His name forevermore.
For endless days, we will sing Your praise,
O Lord, O Lord our God.

Perfection

Perfection is impossible. You don’t have to be perfect. Just do your best.

No, really. Just do your best. For too long, the desire to do everything perfectly ran my life. Perhaps it’s had the same effect on yours.

It’s so freeing to realize you don’t have to be perfect. We’re never gonna be anyway, so here’s to just doing our best and being at least reasonably at peace with the result.

Keep giving life your best, but don’t forget to give yourself a little grace along the way.

Have a great day!

Keep Going

Every time you decide to confront a challenge or problem in your life, you begin the process of taking away the power it has over you.

So, go for it.

Believe you can do it.

Freedom is waiting on the other side.
