Happy Monday! I trust your week is off to a great start. Personally, Mondays have always presented a challenge for me. In my younger years, Saturdays were dedicated to catching up on unfinished tasks from the week, and Sundays were reserved for church and family time. By Sunday evening, fatigue had already set in. Life’s storms can be tough, but maintaining your faith is key to navigating them successfully. Shake off the fatigue – you’ve got this!
Let me share one of my favorite Bible stories from Acts 28. After surviving a harrowing storm and shipwreck, Paul found himself in Malta. As if the shipwreck weren’t enough, Paul gathered brushwood, ignited a fire, and a viper slithered out. The viper latched onto Paul’s hand, but he calmly shook it off into the fire, suffering no harm.
In the midst of the storm, it seemed like the Devil had the upper hand, but God orchestrated a turnaround. When the viper seized Paul’s hand, the soldiers likely thought his fate was sealed, yet Paul emerged unscathed.
Despite being a righteous man, Paul faced numerous storms. Proverbs 24:16 reminds us, “for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.” We can rise again in times of disaster. What was intended to destroy you can propel you toward your destiny.
Have faith in God!
Happy Monday! I hope that you week is off to a fantastic start. As we near the end of September, I’m eagerly anticipating the end of this excessive heat. This week, let’s dive into a topic that’s close to my heart; navigating life with a fragrant perspective.
Fragrance Model Memories
During my young adult years, I worked as a perfume model. I’d approach random people, asking if they’d like to try the fragrance of the day. Spritzing it onto a card and handing it to them was the routine. By the end of the day, I often found myself nursing a headache.
Then I learned a better way to wear perfume-to spray it into the air and walk into the mist. It’s a bit like how we approach life with God’s Word and praise, navigating life with a fragrant perspective.
The Scripture that Sustains
One particular scripture that brings me comfort and guidance is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Living by faith, as the Bible calls us to; may seem like an insurmountable task. But it’s achievable when we meditate on the Word of God and speak it into our lives daily.
Navigating Life
Personally, I aspire to live in an atmosphere of praise. It’s a place where gratitude flows naturally, and faith finds fertile ground to grow.
Do you have any similar experiences to share? Have you ever had a moment when faith carried you through challenging times? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Let’s continue to journey together, supporting each other on our paths of faith. May your week be filled with blessings, positivity, and unwavering faith.

Hello friends and happy Monday! This week, we experienced a close call with a fire near our house, reminding us of life’s unpredictable nature. It’s challenging to prepare for such emergencies. What would you pack in a crisis? Thankfully, with the help of first responders and the grace of God, the fire was extinguished. This week, let’s talk about navigating the atmospheric chaos of life.
In times of uncertainty, I often turn to Philippians 4:6-7 stated, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Life is undeniably chaotic, and it’s easy to say we shouldn’t worry, but much harder not to. Do you find yourself worrying or feeling anxious?
How are you navigating the atmospheric chaos of life?
Have you ever noticed that before a storm, there’s a drop in air pressure? Similarly, when we face life’s storms, we experience a shift in our emotional spiritual atmosphere.
In the same way when we are going through the storm of life, there is a change in the atmospheric pressure.
So, what should we do when we feel a storm coming? As children of God, we have every right to shout “peace be still.” In fact, if you are going through a storm right now, say “peace be still” out loud. This will give the Devil a swift kick.
Sometimes we have to do this continually, but let me tell you, it does work. Allow the grace of God to work in your life.
