Yesterday, I reestablished the fence and borders in a neglected part of my garden. Now it is time to till the soil of that cleared ground. Today I am focused on removing the stones and leveling the ground. The gentle rain that fell through the night has revealed the uneven places and bitter places (stones). These both are a natural part of the process, but not to be the final outcome in my garden. Every step in order and at the proper time. And who knows, maybe tomorrow it will be time to sow! Lord help me on this step and the next too!!

Resistance Training
Resistance training greatly increased today! In it I saw the work God has done in me and my family. I am in awe of the strength, perseverance, and more that showed today in our lives. It wasn’t easy! It wasn’t all fun, but we are smiling and laughing now. We overcame and faced the circumstances around and in us. To God be the Glory for the things he has done!!! Today is evidence of sonship and the goodness of God. Friend, as you face challenges I want to encourage you to be still from time to time, your eyes will be opened to so much right around you that busyness seems to blind us to, and continue on, (don’t give up)! Turn to God often during the day and night, you will see the goodness of God in the land of the living. He is faithful!

Take Courage!
In my time with the Lord today, I found myself saying, “I will take courage!” This was after a morning greeting, and thanksgiving for the directions, answers and help I asked for yesterday that he helped me receive and act on. He is so good! I am glad I decided to take courage. It maybe that as I was declaring this, he was bringing it up in me. The Holy Spirit is good like that! I need that courage right now, how about you? It is important to keep our eyes on Jesus and what he says and is doing. If the fire gets hotter, we need only remember there is a fourth man in the fire with us, if he is Lord of your life, he is of mine! I am remembering to bathe in his love, and increase my joy through trust in him and peace. May he show you what you need from him to come out the other side of this time stronger and above it all! I am setting my eyes above the swirl and though I deal with the circumstances, I will not dwell in them. May the Lord impart to you, what you need today friend. He is good and he is working!!!

Doors of Abundance!
I don’t know why some doors are more difficult to enter through, but they, at least, seem to be. Today I sense an opportunity to enter a door of faithfulness that leads to abundance! One step in and the changes begin immediately. It is choosing to no longer partner with old voices of shame and lack, and embracing the abundant life Jesus paid a heavy price for, for me and you friend! It does begin with a choice and there are giants that want to deter us from entry, but the blood of the lamb is covering so, they can only mock and discourage. Maybe like me today, one of the giants is a lying mirror of mockery, but that mirror is from a fun house and is not reflecting true, turn your thoughts away from it, and the jibes being hurled from it of past failures and who the enemy wants you to be. This is what I am doing! My life is not my own and the one who loves and has redeemed me is calling me through the open door. Let us run today friend, through those open doors!
