Happy Monday! We are starting Spring Break and I am so ready. With Spring comes the warmer weather, flowers, and the rain. But if you are feeling a little down today, it is time to get up and get back into the race!
Looking back on this past year, it has certainly been memorable. About this time last year, we were already hearing about school closings. I remember this specifically because my youngest was in his last semester at Abilene Christian University. He finished his semester out totally online.
The book of Job is about hard times. Job lost his money, friends, family, and his health. I could only imagine what Job went through. You may be facing great difficulty today. God is with you. It is time to get up and get back into the race!
Even though Job went through a lot, he continued to have faith in God. Job said, “I know that You can do all things and that no thought or purpose of Yours can be restrained or thwarted” (Job 42:2). Job had faith in God.
No matter what you are going through, God has a plan for you. Have faith!
Faith is bold!
Thank you for taking a minute to read my blog today.
Hello Friends! We are starting a new month today. With this new month comes a new series. It is so hard to trust someone that has hurt you. I know this from experience. We learn to trust even when we’ve been hurt!
Foundation of trust…
One of my favorite scriptures in the Bible is Proverbs 3: 5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
Someone hurts you…
How to trust when you’ve been hurt! Many times people hurt you and they don’t even realize they did anything. They go on with their life and you are drowning and depressed in all of the hurt. One thing I do know is the old saying, “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” is not true! Words hurt!
What I do know…
We can allow these words to take hold of us and spend the rest of the day in negativity or we can brush it off because we know who we are in Christ.
We know who we are in Christ when we spend more time with God. It is the foundation of trust that we need. When someone hurts us, give it to God.
When we cast it all on God, we move forward. We trust even when someone hurts us. Put your trust in the one who will never let you down.

Happy Monday! I pray that you are well and enjoying your Monday. Last week was far from normal. Over the last year and a half, I have learned so much. But most importantly, I have learned how to start my day off right!
Every day…
Every day that we are given is a blessing so we should make the most of each and every day. Psalms 118: 24 states, “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad.”
It is hard to rejoice when we are worried about our electricity going off and having no water. Through it all, I found myself looking for things to be thankful for.
Starting our day with God will give us the strength to make it through anything that comes our way. “I can do all things through Christ that gives me strength.” Philippians 4.13. Our strength is found in God.
How do I start my day off right?
- Before you even get up out of your bed, pray.
- Take some time and read the Bible.
- Listen to a podcast. There are so many great ones but Joyce Meyer is my favorite.
- Put on some praise and worship music as you get ready for work.
- Read a devotion.
I hope that you have a blessed week! Thank you for checking out my blog today. Remember to come back every week to check out my blog at kamzinsser.com.
