I’m sitting in the vet office.

Chloe is sick.

She’s shaking on my lap.

I’m worried.

I tell her you’re safe.

I’ve got you.

I feel God tell me the same.

In the moment I feel thankful.

Thankful that God sees me.

Thankful that God uses hard things to talk to me.

His peace I felt.

I’m thankful Chloe is ok.

I love her so much.

Losing my last dog was hard.

I’m thankful God gave me Chloe.

What have you lost that’s hard?

God’s comfort is there for you. 2 Corinthians 1:3

Receive it.

I love you.

He loves you the most.

“Into Faith I go.”

I love this thought by Pat Barrett.

Every day can be an “Into Faith I go.”

It seems like when I’m really struggling,

God reminds me of faith.

What if every day I just decided on purpose “Into faith I go!”

Faith is what pleases God.

I want to please Him every day.

What about you?

When life is wearing us down,

Into Faith we can go.

Cheers to new beginnings with God.

Do you need one?

Recently I sat on my porch and toasted cheers to God.

I was listening to a new song He brought into my music stream.

Love Note, by UpperRoom.

Jesus is my One thing.

This song expresses that so beautifully.

What is your One thing?

Invite God into it.

Thank Him for it.

Thanking Him Blesses Him.

He’s given me so many blessings.

I’m documenting them more.

Keeping a Book of Remembrance. Malachi 3:16

I love using the DayOne App to digitally keep a record of God’s goodness.

What’s your favorite way to remember God’s goodness?

Let’s Bless Him more today! :)

Never believe the thought, “I’m not creative enough.”

You always have God inside you.

The Greatest Creator.

So that thought is Never true.

Not and God don’t go together.

He is the Great I AM.

There is nothing lacking in Him.

Are you believing the lie,

“I’m not creative enough.

Good enough.

Smart enough?”

Me too.

Until I’m done with that.

Today, I am.

Because the Great I AM

Is showing me how.

Himself.

Living in me.

Not and God don’t go together.

He is the Great I AM.

Nothing is ever lacking in Him.

Since He lives in me,

I am always enough in Him.

Creative enough.

Good enough.

Smart enough.

And so are you.

Because He makes us that way.

What have you wanted to create?

Take the Not out of your believing.

Keep focus on Him.

Thoughts that don’t support us come & go.

Jesus is our forever.

He loves us the most!

Thinking how we want to think is such a gift.

Thank You God That you allow us to think how we want to think.

And we can want what we want.

What if God didn’t want us to do anything.

He just wanted us to be with Him.

Isn’t that what our parents want?

They don’t want us to do something for them.

They want us to be with them.

They want to spend time with us.

What if you look at your relationship with God like spending time in an important relationship.

Like your Mom,

Like your spouse,

Like your sister.

What if God never wanted us to do anything for Him.

He only wanted us to be with Him.

I know He loves us the most.

Simply be with Him.

That’s what Thankful Keeping is all about.

The gifts God puts in your heart to enjoy Him with are priceless. One of those for me is the beach. Enjoying God at the beach is one of my favorite places to enjoy Him. What about you?

Love that I get to spend some special time with my girl at the beach!

So thankful to be able to spend a week in the Outer Banks with Ed, Tommy, Mary & Will, my Mom & Sisters and our extended family. Family is a precious gift from the Lord. I'm so thankful for mine. 🙏🏻✝️

What does your heart love?
Trust it with Him.
That’s it.
Ultimately if you can’t trust Him, who can you trust?
No One.
He’s most trustworthy.
He’s never failed me before.
He’s always been who I can count on.
He won’t let me down.
He’s always good.
No matter what I’m feeling.
My hard circumstances never change His goodness.
They aren’t connected.
His gift to me-
Being able to choose my perspective.
My mindset is what changes everything.
I’m keeping my mindset thankful.
I call it thankful keeping.
It keeps me close to Him.
Where I always want to be.
What keeps you close to Him?
It’s always the best place to be.
He loves you the most.
Your heart is safe with Him.
