I'm amazed at how my Savior can take any and every circumstance around me to show me more about him. My prayer has always been that this journey of life I'm on would continually bring honor and glory to him, so by using every opportunity; my mistakes, my successes, and my day-to-day adventures, he teaches me how to use it for his glory. This life he blessed me with is ALL about him! So, these are my thoughts, my heart cries, and my lessons from his glorious Word. These are the teachable moments from my Savior!

Psalm 25:4-5 "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long."

Shine HIS Light!

This morning my alarm was not met with warm fuzzies and my tired, exhausted body wanted to keep sleeping but, nonetheless, I am up and I WILL praise God for the opportunities before me today to praise HIM!

Today stands before me many opportunities to be the blessing to someone else. This cannot be a day to wallow in my exhaustion and get overwhelmed at the many things on my "to-do" list that need my attention. This cannot be day of complaining and grumbling (because that could easily happen 😉). This needs to be a day that praise is lifted from my lips as an overflow of my heart for the many things God has done. This needs to be a day surrendered to Almighty God with my tired mind focused through the lens of God's Word for clarity and guidance.

Yes! God, this day is YOURS! I lay it at your feet and CHOOSE to walk in YOUR strength and power! I will be intentional in speaking your praise and following your Word! May my life shine YOUR light and be a blessing to someone today. ALL for YOU!

“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father."
Matthew 5:14-16 (NLT)
