When you think “Things are gonna slow down a bit this month” you find the Lord has other plans!😉 June started out as the month I thought I’d take it easy with no big plans and it ended the month that The Lord, once again, showed His grace is sufficient and strength is made perfect in weakness. I am so thankful The Lord God knows exactly what we need when we need it! From finishing out the largest Spring100 to date to hopping on a plane to visit some of my favorite people in Virginia, learning how to milk cows🐄😅, hiking the Shenandoah Valley😍, celebrating Father’s Day + a Birthday, Kayaking in Oklahoma with friends(and getting burnt to a crisp🦞), keeping up with work, spending time with family, and grabbing a few minutes of sleep in between…😉 this has been an unexpectedly jam-packed month filled to the brim and overlowing with the Lord’s mercy and goodness! He has truly blessed it and provided the energy for every moment of every day. 🙏🏼 A verse that has been on my heart this month and one I would officially dub my “theme verse” for 2024 is “Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.” Psalm 54:4! I am so thankful that He is my Help and the One who sustains me. He directs our steps and promises to guide us continually(Isaiah 58:11). When we find ourselves overwhelmed and unsure as to what the days ahead hold, He knows the path we take! “When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Then You knew my path…” (Ps 142:3). So, here I am! Jumping into July, excited to see what it may have in store as the Lord continues to help + sustain me! The wonderful news? We can fully trust the Lord will be our guide every step of the way because He promises He will(Ps 32:8) and “all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.” (2 Cor 1:20)! So, how about a few(dozen) photos to prove June happened?! 😍😁 Lydia and I were so blessed by the sweet hospitality of the F. family and thoroughly enjoyed exploring Staunton + Lexington Virginia for the first time. 🧡 A HUGE thank you for having us(you know who you are😉)!!
QUESTION!! I’d love to hear from YOU. What was the highlight of your June? And what verse(s) has encouraged you lately? Make my day by leaving a comment!!
“And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.”
Isaiah 58:10
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:8-9
What gorgeous, soothing, peaceful, homey pictures. Just what I needed to see right now to remind me of God’s beauty and better days!
Rachel, you actually sent me verses yesterday that encouraged me greatly in the midst of a painful, crippling physical trial that came on the heels of other trials. “O LORD God of hosts, Who is mighty like You, O LORD? Your faithfulness also surrounds You. You rule the raging of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them. Psalm 89:8-9. Thank you for listening to the Lord and sending the verses!
Another sister in the Lord sent: Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for He shall pluck my feet out of the net. Turn thee unto me and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. Psalm 25: 15-17.
The Lord is ALWAYS faithful, according to His timetable. I have discovered that His timetable is always perfect, even as He is perfect, even when the wait seems long. Praise the Lord!
Aw, praise the Lord!! 🧡☺️ Those verses from Psalm 89 encouraged me so much I had to share!! So thankful the Lord knew you needed them too.🙌🏻 Yes, He is always faithful!! What a joy to know this.🙏🏼
Loving everything about this:)
