I feel like days such as this are akin to going to school @Jillian C - learning patience is the lesson plan - I’m the C- student aspiring for better.
I’m right there with you—school and athletics all came easy without much effort—when these rise to the surface though I’m back in kindergarten, asking for help (uncomfortable), relying on others (more uncomfortability 🫣) after so many years of pushing it away. Peel back the onion 1 layer at a time. 🧅 Very humbling but thankful. 🫶🏼
 
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭33‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Leaning harder into this verse today, and it is challenging to let go, but He has truly overcome the world and all that it is it, therefore, we have nothing to fear.

I woke this morning thinking of a very close family member and their chosen endeavors and associated challenges and the mountains ahead to climb, and this verse came to mind:

Joshua 1:9:

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

Sending positivity to all of you today. Thank you God.

I feel like I’ve been saying this hourly lately
 
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mark 11:24 (fun fact, i just found out the other day Mark was Peter’s apprentice in case anyone else also didn’t know). ✝️
Yes and Timothy was Paul's. In life we all need a Paul and a Timothy. It is also important to have a Barnabas to be our friend!
 
Indeed we do!

And we need to understand and favor that God doesn’t seek us to be perfect, but to aspire for that knowing we have his grace. In fact, he speaks to us most powerfully at times when we feel broken.

Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
I heard someone say the other day I think it was father Mike Schmitz, say that God doesn’t ask us not to sin first. He says love your God and love your neighbor because in doing that helps us stay out of sin. “Love others as I have loved you.” John 15:12

““Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

...for Thine is the Kingdom, power, and the Glory....
Deuteronomy 32
“Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak,
and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 May my teaching drop as the rain,
my speech distill as the dew,
like gentle rain upon the tender grass,
and like showers upon the herb.
3 For I will proclaim the name of the Lord;
ascribe greatness to our God!"

Dear Lord, thank you for another day of your guidance, strength, and wisdom. Thank You for all these souls you have gathered around this fire. Amen.

A bonfire sounds good right about now!
 
I’ve been doing Fr Mikes Bible in a Year on YouTube and today he read Psalm 37–forgot how much I loved it.

Long, but worth it—so many good nuggets ✨

A Psalm of David. Fret not yourself because of the wicked, be not envious of wrongdoers!
2 For they will soon fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so you will dwell in the land, and enjoy security.
4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.
6 He will bring forth your vindication as the light, and your right as the noonday.
7 Be still before the LORD, and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over him who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
9 For the wicked shall be cut off; but those who wait for the LORD shall possess the land.
10 Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look well at his place, he will not be there.
11 But the meek shall possess the land, and delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
12 The wicked plots against the righteous, and gnashes his teeth at him;
13 but the LORD laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming.
14 The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows, to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those who walk uprightly;
15 their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 Better is a little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18 The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will abide for ever;
19 they are not put to shame in evil times, in the days of famine they have abundance.

20 But the wicked perish; the enemies of the LORD are like the glory of the pastures, they vanish--like smoke they vanish away.
21 The wicked borrows, and cannot pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives;
22 for those blessed by the LORD shall possess the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a man are from the LORD, and he establishes him in whose way he delights;
24 though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD is the stay of his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging bread.
26 He is ever giving liberally and lending, and his children become a blessing.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; so shall you abide for ever.
28 For the LORD loves justice; he will not forsake his saints. The righteous shall be preserved for ever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall possess the land, and dwell upon it for ever.
30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip.
32 The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him.
33 The LORD will not abandon him to his power, or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial.
34 Wait for the LORD, and keep to his way, and he will exalt you to possess the land; you will look on the destruction of the wicked.
35 I have seen a wicked man overbearing, and towering like a cedar of Lebanon.
36 Again I passed by, and, lo, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright, for there is posterity for the man of peace.
38 But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the posterity of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their refuge in the time of trouble.
40 The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked, and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
