Rest in Hope

Feeling the need for rest these days?

It has been a longgggggg 6 months since our lives were turned upside down.

And each day continues to bring more change in countless, unpredictable ways.

How are you and your family doing?

Are you finding rest in God?  Or searching for rest in temporary fixes?

Some days I think I am farrrrrr too busy to even find rest anywhere!

I worry, I complain, I spin my wheels....but I then stop and consider Psalm 62:5.

"Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from Him."  Psalm 62:5

YES indeed!!!  In this world that promises everything and delivers nothing, our hope can only come from God alone.

Let's stop looking elsewhere..."find rest in God."

 Seasons

What season is it anyway?  Frosty grass and it's still summer?
Masks at school and it's not even Halloween?

And football games without rowdy fans in the stands?

Maybe your season doesn't make sense right now, or maybe you don't even like this season!  I get it!  We gathered last weekend to honor some very special family members.  It is a season of celebrations for the Mitlos.  Yet as we gathered for our traditional cousins photo, Trey wasn't there.  It's not his season to be in our photos.  His memories are everywhere and in everyone, but God chose Trey to spend his seasons in Heaven with Him!  :)

What season are you in with your walk with God?  Budding springtime?  Abundant growth of summer?  Dropping leaves of blessings?  Or hunkering down for deep study together with someone?

Own your season - A valuable crop awaits!  :) 

"Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains."  James 5:7

 Before You Brush Your Teeth

Tomorrow morning before you brush your teeth, consider the calling of the Lord:

"O LORD, in the morning You hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for You and watch."  Psalm 5:3

How do you start your day?  With great dread?  Or great expectation?

Is the Lord the first One to hear your voice?  Or do your children hear you "greet" them?

What kind of sacrifice do you plan on offering the Lord tomorrow morning?  Your social media usage?  Your earnings?  Your patience?  Your tongue?

Ok - As you go brush your teeth - consider that last Word.  The Lord hears your prayers.  He WILL listen.  Your job is to, "Watch".

 Your Trey?

Trey was a cute, adorable, strong, sweet, charming little boy! (spoken by his adoring aunt!)

Throughout his battle with cancer, Trey was easy to love.  Easy to support and cheer.  It was fun to swoop in and offer distraction and gifts and fun for Trey and his siblings.

But what about your annoying neighbor who has a broken heart?
Or your family member who has a chronic bad attitude?

Or your coworker who has crippling arthritis?
They probably aren't very easy to love...maybe not even possible to like them!
But God's law of love is the same for everyone.  Just like His love for you!

So who is your Trey?  How can you love them a little better today?

"Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”  Mark 12:31

Super Size It!

Who orders just small fries these days?  Of course we need to Super Size it!  :)
Who wants to earn $5 an hour?  Definitely Super Size that!

And patience and rest and vacation time?  Super Size for sure!

What about other parts of your life?  Are you willing to Super Size them?
Your dreams?  Your hopes?  Your plans?  Your faith?  Your boldness for believing God?

Trey was called our Young Warrior.  Not our Young Cute Little Boy....our Young Warrior!
Super Size Fighter with great faith and a big smile!  :)

Are you living a God sized life these days?  

So big that all you can do is pray and watch and wait on God for results?
It's scary, but exhilarating!  And such a joy to brag on God for the GOD SIZED results!

"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."  Ephesians 3:20
