~Finding beauty in each new day~

~Thanking God for His Peace that Passes Understanding~

delayed take off-missed connection-more flights to my destination-front row seat on the very next flight-safe arrival in Tennessee

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.

Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.

Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.

His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:6-7 (New Living Translation)

From start to finish, it's been a great date day with my Fun-guy!!

Thanking God for His kindnesses today...for showing His love in big ways and small ways...

for dear friendships near and far...and for making sure I got to see this amazing sky!!

~Sisters in Christ selflessly serving others~

Thankful for a productive planning time together and excited for our upcoming BSF year!!

My heart is overflowing with gratitude for these women!!

LOVE seeing our girl and getting caught up on all things COLLEGE!!!

So thankful for a few minutes to share life across the miles!!

My first thought today was how great my obstacles were.

I was completely paralyzed by them and couldn't see solutions.

Then God reminded me that my obstacles are opportunities to trust Him and see His provision.

One by one...His Word...phone calls...texts...rearranged schedules...understanding friends...

God answered prayer.

He took away the obstacles and cleared my path.

And then, He sent a smile and love through my dear Friend at the just right time!

Ending the day much more peaceful that I began it.

"The Lord bless you, and keep you;

The Lord make His face shine on you,

And be gracious to you;

The Lord lift up His countenance on you,

And give you peace."

Numbers 6:24-26
