October 24, 2022
And today is October 24, 2022. What is so special about today? It’s a holiday, other than that – nothing. Well except that I am alive. I am excited. I am awake and will be finding a beach this morning. God is still good. My parents are alive and well. The dogs are scratching to try and come into my room (nope, there is no thunderstorm).
I am loved.
I am Yahweh’s daughter.
I am blessed.
Yahweh has smiled on me.
This is a new day and I will rejoice and be glad.
Isaiah 54:10 – The mountains may move, and the hills may shake, but my kindness will never depart from you. My promise of peace will never change,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
This scripture. I tell you. Such a special place in my heart. It’s what I have been holding on to and then to see it as the verse of the day? You done know! Yahweh, thank you for always smiling on me. For your unending compassion on your daughters (and me). Thank you that your promises never change – you never change your character. Thank you that even though this world may seem to be in an uproar, you are still good. You are a firm foundation. You are unshakeable and because you are unshakeable, once we are fixed on you (in you), we adapt that characteristic and are unshakeable in you. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for keeping me. Thank you for who you are. Thank you for wrapping your arms around me and never letting go. Thank you for always knowing what I need and putting it in place. I love you.
Confession: I’m just lying here in the quiet. Smiling. No stress. Just quiet. Thank you for this time.
Small things I am thankful for. A couple weeks ago I was looking for an extra screen protector that I had to change out the old one. Now truthfully, this protector is no IQ shield (couldn’t find one for this phone), but figured it would at least do something. Then the phone fell. Screen protector and all broke/cracked. And then I found the other protector. I did put it on. So even though the screen is cracked, it feels smooth.
Yahweh, help me not to get used to the cracks and not desire something new in you. I truly don’t intend to purchase a new phone unless you say so. But I don’t want to accept the cracks.
