October 25, 2019 | Good evening...

Good evening everyone! I sure hope that you had a nice day! Today for me, has been a mixed bag of everything...but one thing I can say...it wasn't boring...lol. Praise God...that He is there, to direct our footsteps, as we walk throughout a day!!
You know...sometimes we can have a good day and completely forget; that there may be others who are struggling or facing something unexpected in their day. We all long for good days; but sometimes that just doesn't happen. Even though we may face struggles and unexpected challenges in our day...isn't it good to know that there is a God we can run to...someone, whom we can take refuge in, until the storm passes by.
Whenever I read our verse for tonight, from Matthew 11:28...I truly find comfort in each word; because it doesn't matter what kind of a storm we are facing...there is a place to get away from the storm...a place, where we can find rest, from all the anxiety and overwhelming feelings; that can stem from a circumstance. 
When I was a young girl, I was watching some kind of a cartoon...and these characters were walking through the snow and freezing temperatures. Anyways...they found a little one room house to walk into, where there was just a bed and four walls. Outside...it was snowing hard; but inside, they were all huddled together...warm and snug, as a bug in a rug. Anyways...whenever I think back on this memory, from so many years ago; it reminds me as to how we can find shelter, during the stormy moments of circumstance....a place, where we can rest and get out of the wind and rainy moments of despair. 
No matter what you may be facing right now...may I encourage you to step out of the storm...into the loving arms of Jesus...a place where He will shelter you and give you rest...a place where you no longer have to feel the heavy weight of despair upon your back. 
As we close this day...and another work week, I pray that we all will leave the moments that have attempted to bring us low; that we might take hold of the peace and rest that God is so lovingly offering us....that we may truly find a place to begin again...a place, where everything can once more be made new...Amen!!
Have a great night of rest...take care and I will hope to be with you again tomorrow!
Goodnight...and God bless!
It's Always & Only Because of Him...
