Quiet

My blog has been quiet lately.  Lots on my brain, so I have trouble streaming my thoughts enough to write.  This one is for me...so I can remember.

Hebrews 10:
22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.


I am holding tightly to God's promises.  I have full assurance that he is so faithful and I can have hope in Him.  

A good deed for me lately is as small as a text saying hi.  A smile or a hug.  Never underestimate the power those little things can do for someone.  They are HUGE things, not small.  Encouragement in any form is a powerful thing. 


Father,
You are the source of every good thing.  I praise you for your faithfulness.  I praise you for friends who walk along side me.  I praise you that this is NOT the end of our journey.  We have so very much to look forward to beyond today.  I praise you for the restlessness and the spots in our hearts that this life will never fulfill, so that we can look with great anticipation towards the day your Kingdom comes.
Guide my thoughts always to you and your promises for me.
Amen
