Back to Prayer…
Good morning, sweet Rise and Shine friends!
It is so good to get back on a somewhat normal-ish routine.
My kids are still home from school, which I am loving, but things are definitely settling back down.
The house is back in order, Christmas put away, and it feels good to have a clean-ish home. :) Well, as clean as it can be with adult children and a big fluffy 75 pound puppy in the house. Ha!
As the New Year begins, a constant theme keeps circulating in my heart.
Prayer.
Beauty from Ashes…
Well, here we are.
We made it!
Another year has passed by, and we are still breathing.
Isn’t God Faithful?
This year, just like many of you, has been difficult.
As I looked back over my prayer journal from a year ago today, I saw the HOPE and the prayers for the year to come…
Never in a million years did I imagine the things that 2025 would hold.
Dear Robert…
This story happened almost exactly 9 years ago today. I always think back on it this time of year.
If you are new to this space, this story will be new to you. If you have been around a long time, you may remember it.
I pray God will give us open eyes to see those in need. Always ready to serve, to pray, to help, to assist.
As we begin this new year, let us pray for God moments, God meetings, God stories.
He is always with us.
He is always speaking.
We just have to open our eyes to see.

Praises
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
— psalm 143:8
