Scripture Journaling

Print out scripture and glue to page.

I love this scripture reference to “abounding in love”. When I did a word search I found the following words also: full, rich, flowing, bountiful. Any of these words would work for how I feel right now.

I desire to be more like Jesus.


 It’s just Tuesday and already I have experienced situations in which I had to show compassion; I had to exhibit being gracious. Certainly, anger tried to invade my spirit just two days ago. I know when I live my life reflecting an overflow or abundance of love, then my actions will follow suit. It isn’t always easy. There have been times when my actions didn’t suggest a life overflowing with love. I thank God for saving me from my past. I am thankful for what the Lord placed inside of me.

Does your life reflect an abundance of love overflowing from your heart? Is there something blocking your flow?

Prayer: Dear Lord, Thank You for being compassionate, gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love. I want to walk, talk and live like You. Help me to decrease so that You may increase in my life. Lord, remove any fears that I may have that would keep me from walking into my destiny. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Day 28: Gelatos, Collage

 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God , who gives to all generously and without reproach.

James 1:5

Woo Hoo! It’s Day 27! We’re almost there! I can see it…touch it! But even in the excitement I making it a point to stay in the moment. Anxiety use to have a way of spinning my days out of control. I pray daily to stay in the moment when the occasion calls for that.

Let’s ride this momentum….!!

Scripture Journaling

Scripture came from a magazine page.

I got very little sleep last night. A storm came…..not outside, but inside. The lump in my throat and turning in my stomach alerted me that I needed to breathe. So instead of fighting the fact that I couldn’t go to sleep, I just stayed up and talked with the Lord. Finally learned how to listen when I can't sleep. This situation is bigger than me. This situation is not bigger than my God! I asked the Lord for wisdom to make decisions based upon His Word, not based on how emotional I was.

Today was peaceful. The mountain is still there. But the view is clearer and I don’t have to carry this. I am trusting God for this situation.

Prayer: Dear Lord, I desire to die in You daily. Sometimes this walk becomes difficult, but I carry  Your Word in my heart. Thank You for calming me long enough to hear from You. Lord, I need You always. In Jesus Name. Amen.
