It’s been a sullen start to the week. A tween daughter with emotions…watching those you love suffer…and just overall blahs.
Despite my mood, we managed to get quite a bit of work done today. We actually worked until 4 pm with a minimal break.
Thank you Lord, for the gift.
I also noticed tonight that it was not pitch dark out at 5pm.
Another praise. (I loathe the early darkness in the winter)
I know when things are at the lowest,
He is ready to take me to my highest!
Here am I Lord. Send me.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
“Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
Isaiah 6:8
This is my new prayer. Continually. I am fully relying on His plan today, and His power...no matter where takes me, or how hard it is.
I have been saved from the depths of darkness to someday live in eternal light and glory. I can’t sit around anymore and take that for granted…
Did you hear?
from eternal depths of darkness…
to eternal light and glory!
Shout it!
Proclaim it!
Live for that alone!
I am fully relying on Him to do things in my life I never dreamed of!
After all, my life is not mine. It is His.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” Hebrews 12:1
