Think on These Things {Uncertainty}

I feel vulnerable. Don't we all in this time of a pandemic? We haven't lived through something like this before. We don't know what to expect. We can't foresee the future. We don't even know what next week will look like. The Coronavirus has stomped into our lives like some kind of raging giant, and we are scared. How do you go about fighting a giant? But most importantly, how do you go about fighting a giant that's so small you can even see it???

To fight the fear that the Corona giant has brought into our lives, we need something bigger than it is. Peace is a Person. God can be our CERTAIN in uncertain times. We may not know what the future holds, but He's already there working out the details. Nothing surprises Him. He's not caught off guard by what is happening in the world. He's here in our present and in our unknown future.

God's Word is filled with peace...it's overflowing with it. Below you will find thirty verses you can read, copy, study, or meditate on during this very uncertain time. There's a link to the file or you can grab a picture of the file. May He be your peace!

The Birth of Christ {Think On These Things}

{Affiliate links used}

I have a love/hate relationship with Christmas! There I said it! I dislike the pressure it puts on me to get the "extras" done to make the season "merry and bright". However, I LOVE Christmas! I love the family time. I love the lights. I love the music. But most of all,  I love that it is the time to remember the greatest Gift ever given. The real part of Christmas! Join me in December as we write out the Christmas stories from three of the gospels. Look for the details you have missed before, but whatever you do don't miss the arrival of the Savior!

A Note About 2019
I have a heavy heart as I type these words. I have LOVED doing "Think On These Things" with you! I have loved what God's Word has taught me just through the simple act of copying His words. I have loved seeing the details I have missed before. I have loved interacting with many of you on Instagram and in real life about the verses. Your thoughts and words of encouragement have meant so much to me! However, I will not be continuing with Think On These Things in the new year. I have done three full years of writing plans {You can find them all here.}, but for now it is time for me to move on. I probably won't stop writing out God's Word...I will continue to dig deep into what He has to say, but I know because of my schedule I can't commit to creating more plans and daily posting my thoughts. If you joined me in the middle of my three years of plans feel free to go back to some that you missed. If you traveled the whole way with me, all I can say is "WOW"! I'm totally impressed! I will continue to post my journey here and there on Instagram. I am not totally going away! 😊 Thank you for sharing your time with me and for being a part of my life. You have blessed me in ways I can't express!

Contentment {Think On These Things}

{Affiliate links used}

In August, my husband read me a blog post on contentment that really grabbed my attention {You can find it here.} The post describes how gratitude and contentment are NOT the same. I always used to think they were. Contentment is a far harder discipline, because sometimes we are given or not given what we want. It's easy to say "Thank You" for our blessings.  It's a totally different exercise to be content in circumstances that are less than stellar. Join me in November as we write out verses on what it means to be content!

Friendship {Think On These Things}

{Affiliate links used.}

I have to admit...friendships scare me! Why? Because I have lived through some pretty awful ones. But for every frightening friendship there have been those that have stuck closer to me than a brother {or sister}. There is the one that knows my soul and gets the heartache I have been through. There is the one who can laugh with me and make me laugh. There is the one that spurs me on to better things.  And then, there is the one who challenges my thinking and maybe even makes me stretch out of my comfort zone. Yes, I have had some major pitfalls along the friendship road, but the blessings have overshadowed them. Join me in the month of October as we explore what it means to be a friend, how to choose wisely in our relationships, and most importantly, how to become a friend of God.
