Good Morning and Happy Monday (or whatever day it is to you)! It's eight am and I have been working on my morning routine so I had a few minutes to spare so I thought I would journal! The treasures from working on the basement have been on my mind this weekend. No it wasn't a undiscovered gift card or $10 bill laying around, it was the God's light shining through when I thought there was no hope.
Just like healing a bruise, it got worse before it got better. My bruise was my desk. I was pulling stuff out , creating more piles, and throwing stuff away like crazy. If you could have seen it at the third hour---I got sooooo frustrated-WHAT WAS I DOING and would I get this together in time? So the Thursday before the Open House I really prayed each time BEFORE I started. I prayed for passion to do this, wisdom what to do with it all and I prayed it could bring Glory to Him in some way. I had prayed the other times but this was different. So in the 4th hour I had some more rearranging then... Boom, Hello LIGHT...things started moving. I just knew what to do with it all and had the energy to do it. I even cleaned out the medicine cabinet and posted my own pics in the time frame! AMEN!!! So thankful! I told the girls I even shed a tear after I finished because it was all from Him.
“(1)Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, (2)through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. (3)Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; (4)perseverance, character; and character, hope. (5)And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” - Romans 5:1-5 (NIV)
So whatever "brusies" you have in life, give it to God, have Hope and watch His Light Shine at the darkest hour. Have a blessed day!
