Pity Party of one…
Pour out your hearts like water to the Lord. Lift up your hands to him in prayer-
Lamentations 2:19
Good morning. What a week. Whew.
Since writing is therapy to me, here goes.
God is good.
God is good.
God is good.
God is good.
Sometimes, many times, I have to just say those words over and over until they sink in.
His Ways are Higher…
Happy Thursday, sweet Rise and Shine friends!
Would you mind if I shared a little bit of my story with you?
As I am reading in God’s Word about the Israelites and idol worship and discontentment among the camp, I am reminded of areas of my own life that have mirrored our ancient Israelite ancestors.
For many years, I have desired more children. I envisioned a house full of kids with bookbags and toys and bedtime prayers rolled into a full and crazy day.
Don't get me wrong, my two children are huge blessings. However, I desired to mother more. I love mothering so much that I thought contentment would come if I had more children to love.
6 letter word that changed my life…
If you were to ask me the one thing that has MOST changed my life and my relationship with Jesus, the answer would be one 6 letter word…
Prayer.
However, prayer came much later in my faith walk. I mean, yes, I would pray at times, but it was not until much later in my walk that I began to fervently and intentionally pray.

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
