Happy Friday⭐️
.
A few weekends ago , we took our puppy for her first grooming appointment . We had no idea how she would do since it would be several hours she would be there . Just for reference >The only time she had been in kennels with other animals was after her surgery as she waited for us to pick her up when we officially adopted her.
.
I suddenly had one of those moments that don’t happen very often but where God allows me a glimpse of his amazing love for us . Wait what??? You see our puppy had no idea what to expect. She was already happy and content with her hair being longer , teeth not clean and nails long. What she did probably experience in some way was anxiety and maybe fear when she was dropped off . Are my owners coming back? I’m afraid.
.
Then the grooming. They cut her hair, washed her , brushed her teeth and cut her nails. Oh so good!
.
Ok so how does that reflect and show Gods amazing love for us? How often are we comfortable just staying where we are because it’s comfortable. Just like our puppy.
Then God opens a door to do something different and we often allow fear and anxiety to creep in instead of trusting that our Heavenly Father has a plan. Then as we walk in it and stretch in different ways it’s often so good and so much better for us . Oh how I want to be more willing to see the challenges or new opportunities that God is allowing in my life as opportunities to become better then I am.
.
Thank you God for these sweet glimpses in everyday moments of your amazing love for me.

““What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:12-14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Welcome November

November is usually a time when throughout the month on various platforms, you will see daily gratitude for the whole month 🍁
.
I always go into the month excited to share all the wonderful blessings each day . Somewhere into the month, life happens and I miss a day , then several , then I just try to finish the month so I can be done with the whole thing
.
What started out as a good thing, usually leaves me with feelings of not so grateful by the time it is done
.
This morning, as we prepare in a hotel in Tennessee,to go to a funeral we never dreamed we would be at this soon , the thoughts of gratefulness flood my mind
.
Our thankfulness today is the hope that God gave us through His Son , Jesus. Because of Jesus,
this isn’t goodbye, it’s “I’ll see you again” and for that we are so thankful 🍁
.
I’m not going to plan on posting daily , but I am hoping to post when there are these moments of gratitude that I don’t want to miss ,show up ❤️Not doing a checklist of completion , but some gathered moments of gratefulness 🍁
.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (‭‭John‬ ‭11‬‬:‭25-26‬ ESV)

It’s that time again to start planning and this year for my home management and family life , I chose the @the_happy_planner @disney planner✨
.
I am loving the layout and the beautiful dividers for the month. Since this planner will be mostly laid open on my counter all day every day, I knew I wanted it to be pretty to look at so I would want to actively use it.
.
Oh and did I mention that it might give off the slightest princess vibe? Ok it TOTALLY gives it off and with so much of this world trying to tell us what we aren’t it is such a sweet reminder that we are Princesses and it reminds me of my identity in Christ and how He sees me.. as a princess! So yes I’ll take that any day💜
