Good morning! Today is a new day and full of new beginnings!
I apologize for not posting updates lately. You could say I fell off the wagon and my recover time was very slow. My life, like many others, was put in a tail spin with family illness and starting a new job and just general busyness. So much that I put my eating on the back burner so to speak and discovered this morning I gained a couple of pounds.
So today is a new beginning! At church the pastor is doing a study through the book of James and the title of the series is called "Real Life". Trials will come in life but we should never lose focus on the One who gives us strength! I was looking over the sermon notes from this Sunday and found great strength in this scripture - "We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love." Romans 5:3-5 NLT
In my devotional this morning was this scripture - "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." Matthew 3:17
I know God loves me no matter where I am in this journey. No matter if I am on the wagon or off, but my hearts desire is to please Him with every action and choice I make no matter the circumstances!
I want to endure! I will endure! Have a blessed day!!
