so....



i did not finish my HUGE project life post that i talked about yesterday.

boo.

due to a fun & lengthy phone conversation with my long distance, long lost friend during nap time.

love her. thankful for her sweet prayers for me & my family. and her ability to speak truth when i need to hear it.

so thankful for my sweet friends this week. i've needed every single one of them and am feeling beyond undeserving of them all. you know who you are. and i love you!

so......

hopefully i can get my post done during nap time. maybe. maybe not. maybe it will wait until monday. or tuesday. but the truth is that it doesn't really matter.

i've been learning recently how to prioritize. and to not worry about tomorrow. because today has enough worries of its own.

ain't that the truth?

i've been talking with the Lord a LOT this week. experiencing His presence & peace more than i ever have in my life. i'm thankful that our God is faithful. and true. and all knowing. and our provider. i find peace in the fact that He knows what is going to happen this afternoon. next week. in six months. He knows. He knows what decisions we will make, what mistakes will happen & what tragedies may occur.

and He uses it for HIS glory. all of it.

every mistake. every decision. every tragedy.

He promises this.

"Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good." - romans 8:26-28, the message.

don't you find comfort in that? i read that this morning and tears started pouring out of my eyes. i felt like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders.

we may never know what the 'good' is that He promises.

but He does.

and that is all that matters. or it should be, anyway.

either way.

i pray that you experience this peace today. thank you for letting me share my faith with you today.

happy friday!!
