Happy Tune, Happy Story

Happy snowman,
Happy family!

I woke up this morning with a familiar old upbeat and happy-
sounding Beatles tune in my head. I had to look up the words for it, thinking the message must be from God to me today. I was shocked that the lyrics to this happy tune painted a sad, dark story.

Is this a reflection of my life today? Happy tune, sad story? Oh my gosh. No! That's not who God has made me to be. I am made for joy, for love, for praise, for life!

Lord, let my life be a reflection of Your happy song and joyful heart!

Getting real here. It is indeed the cry of my heart today. Happy tune...happy story. Period. 

Psalm 149:1 - Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! It's time to sing to God a brand-new song so all his holy people will hear how wonderful he is! (TPT)

How To Be Brave

The thought that a path is lit up before me and that I am never alone as I set foot upon it helps me to be braver than I could ever be without this promise. I am a risk taker; an adventurer; a dreamer; and a woman who believes in impossibilities. Without faith, I could be none of these. I am so thankful to the illuminator of my path.

Psalm 18:28-30: God, all at once you turned on a floodlight for me! You are the revelation-light in my darkness, and in your brightness I can see the path ahead. With you as my strength I can crush an enemy horde, advancing through every stronghold that stands in front of me. What a God you are! Your path for me has been perfect! All your promises have proven true. (The Passion Translation)
