Summer Reflections.


Here it is the beginning of August.....wow how time flies. Am I the only one who gets that bittersweet feeling when the summer is coming to a close?.....sigh. Anyways. These are some of my summer reflections and things I want you to know :)


1) Time is a precious gift. Don't wish it away. Stop being in such a hurry all the time. Enjoy every moment. Yeah that probably sounds cliché. It's true. We spend most of our lives wishing time would speed up so we can get to where we want to be in life. God has a purpose for ALL times in our lives. Even those times that seem so insignificant. "To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven"- Ecc 3:1




2) God is in full control of our lives. BUT we make our own decisions. God does his best to keep us on the highway, but we are in control of the steering wheel. "The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail."- Isaiah 58:11

 


3) Quit playing it safe. Quit staying in your comfort zone. So you're scared to go out into the world? No worries. God has you in the palm of His hands. And nobody can take you away from Him. "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." -Joshua 1:9

 


4) Be confident in who you are. Walk out into the world knowing that Jesus died for YOU. And he still would have done it, if you were the only person in the world. You are a daughter of a King. You are precious and special to Him. "A woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised." -Proverbs 31:30




5) Without spending time with God and talking to him (daily), you are not going to have any kind of direction. You will be overwhelmed and all over the place. So if you aren't grounded and standing firm in your faith, you will make stupid decisions. Take some time out of your day to show Jesus you really want to walk like him. "Apply your heart to instruction, And your ears to words of knowledge"-Proverbs 23:12
