I love this reminder of God's control over every circumstance of our lives. Just because we can't see it now doesn't mean Jesus isn't working on our behalf. Our Savior can save us out of any situation, and He can work good out of all things. We just need to hang in there when we can't see it yet.

Sometimes I need to preach this to myself. ❤ Can you relate?

When I used to live in a highrise building in eart

When I used to live in a highrise building in earthquake territory, I'd say this verse to myself every time the ground would shake or the building would sway.

I loved how Psalm 46 says "We will not fear though the earth be moved." I'd repeat it over and over until the shaking stopped.

Now I live on stable ground, but I realize the earth doesn't have to be shaking for fears and worries to sway us. So if your life feels a bit shaky these days, you might want to join me in repeating this to yourself today?

With God as our refuge and strength, we don't have to fear. We have help for any trouble we're facing. Let's find safety under the shadow of His wings.

(The FaithSpillingOver community is memorizing Psalm 46 during the month of August. If you subscribe and missed your 2020 Life and Peace Scripture Memory Plan, hit reply to my last newsletter and let me know you'd like your copy of that. I'd be happy to send it your way. ❤)

I'm putting on my glory glasses 😎 today because I don't want to let the hard, inconvenient, or just plain wonky parts of life rob me of my ability to see God's good gifts. 🎁 (Especially on Monday.)

What if we keep our eyes open to God's blessings today? He has good things in store.

The henna you see on my hand speaks to me of the beauty and creativity of women; it was a gift from an Afghan friend and neighbor.

This past week I had the privilege of joining a team of volunteers to serve over 100 women who have come to this country to seek asylum. As I talked with women who came to receive resources for their children, I noticed beautiful faces. I saw strong women seeking to overcome adversity.

Friend, the adversity you face may look different than that of the neighbor women I saw, but I want you to know that God sees and values you. He created you with unique gifts and talents, and you are precious to Him. God made you an overcomer, and He wants you to live free. Through Jesus He extends to you the gift of eternal life.

(As you see this or any other black and white challenge photo, would you lift up a prayer for women whose lives are in danger because they are women? I am remembering the women in Turkey who have lost their lives.)

#challengeaccepted. I am grateful for the beautiful voices of @lylidunbar and @Jeanne_Takenaka who reached out to me with this challenge.

Happy Monday, friends. What if we start out our week by looking up? ❤

Even if you feel tired, God never does. He never tires, and He always stands ready to give us fresh strength when we look to Him.

"Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles..." Isaiah 40:31a

How is your energy level on Monday mornings? What is one thing you can do today to replenish your spiritual strength?

(Who knows? Maybe we'll even do some soaring today. 😊🙌🏼)

I'm excited to embark on a new adventure, and I want to share it with you.

Last fall, I started praying that God would open a new door of ministry and provision for me, and He answered my prayer. ❤🙌🏼

On Monday, I will begin a new position as a refugee ministry leader at Northwest Bible Church in Dallas. I'll be serving refugees at the Northwest Community Center. Part of my role will be to facilitate an afterschool program for kids, serve women, and also help volunteers who serve at the Community Center. (They tell me I'll need to be flexible with whatever happens each day, so hopefully I'm ready for that!)

Did I have to wait almost a year for God to answer my prayer? Yes! But I'm also convinced God had the perfect plan and the perfect timing for me. He is always faithful, and He is never late.

Have you ever prayed for anything and had to wait a long time to see God's answer? (Something tells me you have.) I'd love to hear about it.

Our problems can't outlast the love of God.

No matter what challenges you face right now, friend, God's love will still be there at the end of the day. He has all the grace, strength, and hope you need. All day long. ❤
