Monday Morning

A cooling rain came though it did not come gently. Explosive thunder and lightning accompanied the downpour. Our walk was delayed this morning, but Miya showed no fear of the loud sounds and waited somewhat patiently for whatever we could do. We played catch/fetch until the mosquitoes drove us back in. I showered, ate a small bite, then we headed out for the walk. Though the sky looked a bit ominous, we stayed dry for the duration.

Thank you Lord for the morning rain. I didn't have to water and it cooled things down enough that I could turn off the air conditioner.

I really need and want to do some sorting, tossing and organizing. I am so very remiss in this area. I love things to be clean, neat and organized but can't seem to get the motivation to get it done. Lord, please help me. I'm so thankful for the house you gave us and I want it to be a place where we can confidently invite friends and have sweet fellowships.

I'm also curious and just a tad bit anxious to see how ministering is going to go in our "new" church. I know you have a plan, Lord. Help me not to mess it up with fretting or doubting. You make all things beautiful in your time. And as the devotion that I read this morning stated, our faith is able to access your grace. And you call things that do not exist as though they did. That is really something to think on!

Lord, be my guide through this day. Go with me and stay with me at all times. Protect those I love. Help them in their jobs and tasks as they go about their day. Be with all those that are hurting or suffering in some way. I'm sorry for any complaining I may be guilty of. Help me to trust you. Help Mike and I both to trust you to provide for our finances.

You are God alone
From before time began
You were on Your throne
You are God alone
And right now In the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone
-Phillips, Craig & Dean
