Thankful for Truth

Mondays are a little crazy for me. I savor as much of the weekend as I possibly can and then Monday morning hits and I feel a little frazzled sometimes. The beginning of a new week. All the school stuff and kid stuff and everyday reality stuff comes back into the picture. Not that it went away, but I try hard to make weekends full of family and fun and as little stress as possible. 


This week is going to be particularly busy. Lots of extra things are being thrown into the schedule. Things that require us to be present in body but also in heart. Those kind of weeks are tiring and draining even when the extra stuff is filled with good things. 


Yesterday, one of our pastors talked about being where God puts you. About really being where He has placed you for the moment. He reminded us to know who is surrounding us. To know our people. To know our place. To know our purpose. So as I begin this week, I asked God to remind me of His truth. Of His promises to His people for this season and place and for His purpose.


He knows the plans He has for me. They are for my future and for my hope.


He never leaves me or forsakes me.


He works all things together for my good.


He makes my path straight.


He goes before me and He is my rear guard.


He is my beginning and my end.


He is patient. He is kind.


He knew me before the foundation of the earth and He knows the number of hairs on my head.


His love for me is eternal.


His equips me. He provides for me. He only gives me what I can handle.


He is my portion. He is my passion. He is my ever present help.


Have a blessed Monday!

Then you will know the Truth, 

and the Truth will set you free. 

John 8:32
