Happy Monday! How are you doing? Are you feeling discouraged? Webster’s Dictionary defines being discouraged as deprived of courage confidence. Do you feel like you have lost your courage? We still have hope.
Life has its share of disappointment and heartaches. But we have hope.
Hope as an anchor…
Hebrews 6:19 tells us, “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.”
Expect good things to happen.
Isaiah 30:18 states, “Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up and show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait on Him.”
Meditate on the good things that God has brought you through. We may be going to hard times, but we have hope that things will work out.
In Genesis 17, God promised Abraham, he and Sarah would have a son. Even though Abraham and Sarah were beyond child-bearing years, Abraham never gave up hope that Sarah would have a child. He didn’t ignore the reality but he had hope.
Have hope today that good things will happen.
Blessings!
When I was a little girl, we lived in a small town with frequent storms, especially in the Spring season. We had a siren that alerted everyone of an impending tornado. (back before the internet) My dad built a basement underneath our garage so we would have a place to shelter and stay safe from the storms. When storms come, run to your refuge…
Friends we have a shelter to run to when trouble comes!!!
Psalms 46:1-2 states, “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
God is our refuge and he will protect us. God is strong, secure, and solid. We don’t have to worry because He is always there.
All you have to do is trust Him!!
Psalms 46: 5-6, “You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness nor the plague that stalks in the midday.”
When storms come, run to your refuge…
God will never fail you. Change your focus to God and rely on Him today. He will never let you down.
I am praying for you today. I pray that you know the truth that God is your shelter, your strength, and your refuge. He is for you!!!

Last week my husband was off! He had a root canal on Monday, so we just hung out at the house. We decided to venture out on Friday. We took a short drive to a great little farm just 17 miles from Abilene on County Road 224.
is a great place to safely take your whole family. When we arrived, we were greeted by a nice young man who provided instructions on picking the fruits and vegetables.
My son and I headed out into the fields and started picking strawberries. We were a little late, so it was already busy. This was a new exciting experience for me. We also picked beets, onions, and carrots.
If you bring your kids, there is a slide and a train to ride on as well as a small petting zoo.
The farm store…
had some many great things to purchase such as baskets of pre-picked fruits and vegetables, baking supplies, farm raised meat, and sauces.
We also tried their amazing strawberry homemade ice cream. Yummy!
If you are looking for a place to take your whole family and safely social distance, then take the short drive to Denton Valley Farms. You won’t be disappointed.
There are so many great places that are literally in our backyard. Now is a great time to spend time with family, make memories, and visit those hidden gems that are close by.
Join me next week as I continue on my journey for total wellness!
Blessings!
