Lately the message I seem to be hearing is to not focus on circumstances, opportunities, bills, issues, challenges, people - whatever. Just keep my eyes on God and we can endure the ups and downs. Sure seems to be helping. A few opportunities that looked promising have either been postponed or outright gone. But those opportunities are not the source of our blessings and future. Maybe God gave them to me on a bad day to encourage me to get through that time or distract me and give me hope. So when the doors close or when issues arise, I have the choice to get discouraged or to thank God for our daily manna and recognize that His plan hasn't changed for me - just my view of it. He has been unbelievable in His provision lately - unexpected rebate checks, anonymous gift cards, incredible sales and savings, on and on and on. Sometimes I have to laugh right out loud at the way He comes through. But always trying to be positive and thankful and recognizing the Source.
When I went online to find a picture for this blog, I found these three. So I made a collage. And as I am working on this, the Praise and Worship page on Pandora is playing the perfect songs to confirm what I am writing.
Looking forward to how God is going to come through - and I am sure it won't be in a way I am expecting...
