Adversity

"....is inevitable.

When the battle begins you have two options.

You can stand there and get beaten to bloody pulp &

abandon your faith.

Or

you can seize the opportunity to experience God's

power and goodness in a new way,

watching in awe as he fights for you."

I have been scared and worried...

with all the uncertainties right now

but also grateful.

I'm taking things day by day...

and finding the things to be thankful for.

With all the unknown...

and distancing going on ...

it has pulled us closer.

" I think God sometimes uses the completely inexplicable

events in our lives to point us towards Him.

We get to decide each time

whether we will lean in towards

what is unfolding and say yes

or back away."

Keeping you all in my prayers

every day

stay well, and be safe

the good little things:

making bread pudding for the first time

(watching it disappear)

learning to identify edible greens in our yard

(trying them...and liking them)

reading a good novel together

(Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens)

working in the yard

(mowing already)

watching the barn go up at the farm

(something hubby has always wanted)

picking wildflowers

Text from a friend this morning:

" Hope flourishes when we shift our gaze 

from the darkness that surrounds us

to the love that encircles us.

And there, in the certainty of His Love,

we find peace for the present and strength

for the days to come."
