dolce vita. everyday is a sweet day.
My God is a loving God. He forgives my sins, even before I asked for it. He knows my ❤ Jesus took my sins so I can live.
Jesus, forgive me for my rebellion, my unbelief, and my arrogance. Thank you for living the perfect life that made my salvation possible. Amen.
From my devo Cheers to Diaper Years–
Jesus. Take. The. Wheel.
Yes, Lord. That’s how I’m addressing you today. Spaghetti noodles are stuck to my back, the bathtub just overflowed, and my youngest has her head stuck between the spindles on the stairs. Can you seriously come and take this wheel right now?
I need you, Lord. I always need you. When you see me start to unravel at an alarming speed, please show up in the way that only you can. Reach out and rescue me from drowning in another episode of Mommy mania.
Please give me patience on a daily basis. Give me the courage to suppress outbursts and instead respond with love. Give me the ability to “walk the walks” of understanding and kindness and model that kind of behavior in front of my kids. I understand the “monkey see, monkey do” game more than ever. Give me the strength to set the best example I can for my children to follow. Help me lean into the hope found in the truth that every day will not be great, but there will be something great in every day.
Grant me the power to rise above the noise and embrace the silent goodness found in you.
All my love,
Frazzled and Frantic
Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.
Hebrews 10:36 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/heb.10.36.NLT
By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.
2 Peter 1:3 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/2pe.1.3.NLT
Lord, I want an abundant marriage. But help me to delight myself in You first and foremost, and trust you for the desires of my heart. Help me to never look to my spouse for happiness, and instead look to you as the only One who can give true fulfillment. I put you at the center of my life and marriage, and ask you to help my spouse do the same. Amen.
Lord, help me see and seize those little opportunities to hang out with my spouse. To be his or her best friend. Help me to see that you want me to be the person who lifts my spouse up, who comes alongside, who walks the road together. Help me be the best friend
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 ESV
As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

Praying that Jaycee and I find two to three people who we can share our life as Christians, and who will help sharpen us in this journey.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.
Isaiah 43:2 ESV

#GodIs always present. #GodIs my protector.
It is not God’s business for me not to experience fire or storm. Sometimes He allows it. BUT He promises that He will be there. And therefore no storm or fire will be able to destroy me. I am safe.
“Now I will take the load from your shoulders; I will free your hands from their heavy tasks. You cried to me in trouble, and I saved you; I answered out of the thundercloud and tested your faith when there was no water at Meribah. Interlude
Psalms 81:6-7 NLT

#devo #GodsPromise #GodIs super strong! He is my strength. #GodIs in control. He has planned ahead of me. He allows me to be tested so He can carry out His plans.
No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord .”
