April and the first two weeks of May left me crazy busy with coaching track! I have missed my blog interactions...and all of my free time! This weekend...I started new art projects, AND I eagerly await June for more time in my studio!
So...what has God been teaching me the past few weeks...a lot about trust! We are taking many pay cuts next year...as are most people around the globe! I continue to tell God, "I know you will provide!" He continues to teach me about budgets...I am paying off all debt...the goal is to be able to give at any time to wherever God calls me to serve. I know this is His desire. He is also teaching me about contentment and true joy! As a rich culture, here in the United States, we often take for granted the beauty all around us...the simple day-to-day treasures that God places before us. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the mundane and ordinary life. I want to live an extraordinary life...and...I want to start today!
I have been reminded three different times today to be thankful and joyful for all things. So...as I write tonight, I've decided to blog "40 days of thankfulness".
I hope you will join me on my journey!
Day 1: I'm thankful for God's word!
"Be joyful always; pray continually; and give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
From my heart to yours,
