As news of the virus becomes more inescapable, I thought it would be helpful to just start noticing the good things, the blessings, and all the ways that I still feel God meeting me exactly where I’m at during this time of uncertainty. I’ll be sharing these things regularly as a reminder to me and as an encouragement for you to look for them in your life as well. God is over this and He’s in it with us. Here’s how that looked today.
A Photo From Today
We have some massive 50+ year old trees in our yard which had recently just shedded some catkin-type things and they all got stuck in the gutter shields, causing a massive puddle on our driveway after it had rained all night. Kevin and I spent some time with the power washer (on a low setting) getting those unstuck, which turned into power washing the siding and patio in the rain.
Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?
