Yutori Thursday

Whoa, what a glorious morning!
Up a smidge earlier today and well …… me likey! 
And a little cooler this morning out on the balcony makes the coffee taste even better! 
Wait, what’s that ……
 yep, furry slippers on too (wink wink). 
Did I hear the Fall season may be finally showing up.
Girl, bring it on, we have been waiting for you.
🍁🍂🍁
So, let’s go ……
Take a seat. 
Unclench your jaws. 
Soften your brow. 
Relax your shoulders. 
Breathe and exhale. 
Give thanks to the One who has made this day. 
Feel His presence. 
And talk with Him.

Listen, I understand that maybe some mornings it might be a little hard to get that sparkle in our mind yet alone in our steps.  Oh yeah, sometimes I feel like pulling up the blanket, rolling over and pretend it’s not morning. And then I realize, I get to witness and live in another day the Lord has created.

When the world is spinning, we can easily get caught up in it. 
Start small, take baby steps. 
Keep drawing Him near to you. Fight the distractions and feel His presence. Taste the love and joy that only He provides. Take His truths and promises to heart. 
❤️ 
And if you need a little help, here’s one of my morning prayers – 
‘You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,’ declares the Lord. (Jeremiah 29:13)
Wherever you are, meet God there. He is here for me and you. Keep your faith open to God’s presence. 
Life is tough enough. And we can’t do it alone. I need God. 
So keep fighting those distractions, because being in the presence of God is worth the fight. 
EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Dear God, Thank you for another day. I am choosing your peace, your grace and your light today. Thank you for being with me through all these years and the many more yet to come. Amen.
