Hello friends! To start off, I would like to say that blueberry bagels are on point at all hours of the day...not kidding.
Second, it's beginning to feel a lot like (Christmas) summer. It doesn't really feel like Christmas...I just felt like adding that in because, you know, the song? Right? Hm? Anyway...
Thirdly, I want to talk about strength. I have a really good friend (I've talked about her a lot before) that continually...through everything I've seen anyway...shows a great deal of strength. And before, I've wondered how she can consistently stay so strong, and not give up, even when the world attempts everything it can to hold her down?
She has been through so many things, yet she tries to stay positive, and she always stays selfless. And it's quite amazing, because she has a backstory more difficult and cloudy than most.
But when I thought about, I realized that, through everything, she leaned on God.
And God is an amazing source of strength.
"So do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous hand." Isaiah 41:10.
God promises us a helping hand, and endless strength through whatever burdens we have to carry whatever distances. And my friend Alyssa has always trusted Him for her strength...not anyone down here on earth. No one here can ever hold you up like Him, and He will never let you fall.
We all need strength...the strength to take a stand for what we believe in, and the strength to take a step back when we know it's not the right path. The strength to move forward when it seems impossible, and the strength to take a breath when we know we are moving too fast.
I hope you all can find strength in our amazing God today, and I hope all of you have an amazing afternoon, my iced nectarines.
