Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you
As I was being tested
I was encouraged (aka… 🔗 given a pep talk/ supported/ helped/ cheered on) to be spirited
In the midst of being kind
My coworker (/friend aka neighbor)
Struggled (aka to complete on time / to feel heard / to cry out for help)

A few moments later after not completing the processing of this week’s sermon at Mission Church… 🔗
Slaving to money
Training to be a better slave
“Purpose” at the top of the module snatched my attention
The Purpose of training (/ certification aka… 🔗 test… 🔗)
To prepare (/ be ready / be expectant/ be equip aka… inspire the spirit… 🔗)
For the commission

No baking this morning
Although grateful to try out my new wool poncho
Bible in a year Bible app plan while driving to volleyball
Ezekiel 33:3-6
The watchmen are held accountable
For the commission
But not the conversion
Similar to sour grapes scripture
Read aloud the verse of the day at the beach
For Benson, but without regard if Dr. Santacrosse was Christian
Don't copy the behaviors and customs of this world
But let God transform you into a new person
By changing the way you think
Then you will learn to know
God's will for you
Which is good
And pleasing
And perfect
-Romans 12:2
Rereading at Old Town coffee in Goleta with my matcha lemonade
This verse tells me that I can just live in this world however I want
No burdened by the customs of this world
I look silly in my linen pants
Wool poncho
I do not care
I shall not copy the customs of this world
I will just live however I want
So long as I Seek the Lord… 🔗
In all that I do
In hopes that it is good and pleasing to God
If He is
It is Perfect

Just transferring my refilled distilled water from one broken jug to the one I left behind
As blessed Offor from ashnic86 blessed me
Saying
Too many friends makin' promises that
They never kept and that's alright
You're my first call, and there's no second guessin'
Cause you're pickin' up all day n night
Promises were a big deal to me for some reason as a kid
Someone may have broken promises to me or
I broke a promise to someone
And I was guilted
Internally from myself or
Externally from their words
But I do remember taking pride in saying
I have not broken a promise
When I explicitly say
I promise
Until I did
Or someone else did
And the repercussions were not that bad
So that bad seed of verbal gymnastics
Became limber over the years
The Truth was danced around
Until I lost sight of it
And no longer recognized it
I did not recognize who to trust
Because I could not trust my own words
But now that I know I speak truthfully
I recognize the truth
I dance with The Truth
I no longer avoid or hide from it
I may not be able to dance perfectly all the time
But mercy encourages me to return when I fail
His grace grips my curiosity

Waiting for nourishment at Oaxacan bites in Breckenridge after watching mission church service online
What should I do as I wait?
Distraction ( aka…🔗 Instagram / news/ planning my future)?
Bible verse of the day
But those who trust in the Lord find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
I trust
I will not be bored
I will ever be satiated
I am high altitude
No fine motor skills trusted
But at sea level
Trust so much
20250824
You can endure all tests
With the Lord
He has given you power to do all things you need

A few moments later after y’all walk fake
Paths split
One a complex river rock garden
One a simple path
I love playing in the rock garden!
Will you get hurt?
Past revealed fun
You sure in the future?
I am sure
God is good
Revelation... 🔗 Graced
God constantly
Gives opportunity
To gain
His Trust

Right after being thankful
I reached for my phone
For notifications (/ text messages /emails aka… 🔗 distractions… 🔗)
Most were distractions
Except God
can use anything
Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock
