I have a lot going through my mind right now, so I thought I’d share some of random thoughts with you today. You do realize that this little blog thing that I do every day is really a spiritual journal, right? This is my legacy I will leave for my children and their great grandchildren. They will be able to read into my heart and soul and know who I was in this life. Just thought I’d share that you are part of this journey. Thanks for joining me!

The summer Bible study at church that I thought would be a little, intimate group of ladies who thought they’d enjoy digging a little deeper into God’s Word has grown to 33. Yes, 33 ladies (as of this writing) will be gathering together the last four Thursday’s in July to get to know two unlikely women who were mentioned in Jesus’ lineage. I can’t wait to be with these ladies and to see what God is up to as we gather together.

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer…And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” (Acts 2:42-47 – NIV)

I just wrote a personal character reference letter. It was one that I was thrilled to write, but I know that as my letter (and others) are turned in, lives will change. Oh there will be good that comes from this, but there will be a trail of tears following that letter. That’s all I’m going to say about it.

“A (wo)man finds joy in giving an apt reply—and how good is a timely word.” (Proverbs 15:23 – NIV)

God’s Word, His Truth and how His Truth relates to my life and beliefs will always be my final authority in any decision or way of thinking. God’s Word is the ultimate Authority. Period. That said, my heart is heavy with the happenings of the world this past week. Terrorist acts. Murder in a church. Supreme Court rulings. Extreme acts of nature. And much more. My head and heart are still processing. But this I know and believe and will place all of my trust in.

“God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.” (Psalm 47:8 – NIV)

I pray that as you go through your day, that you will look at the world through God’s eyes. I pray that you will see others through His eyes of lavish love. I pray that God’s Word will be your compass. Have a blessed day!

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Donna
