Stop and Smell the Flowers

Today was such an amazing day.  I pressed forward and went to a different church this morning and it was A-mazing!!!!  I really enjoyed the Pastor.  He brought the Eelogy at my little cousin's funeral on Friday and when I left, my first thought was, I need to go check out his church.  Thank you Lord for seeing ME (looking past my flaws, imperfections, and sinful nature).

Just me enjoying the day the Lord has made!

I'm sure you heard of the play, "I can do bad all by myself", well for me personally that is so true (different meaning from what the play is meaning).  Some people tend to lean toward peer pressure and get into trouble.  I can do bad literally all by myself.  It's kind of hard, I love being by myself but I don't because of the things that I do.

As I struggled with my flesh on Saturday, I'm really glad that God woke me up and I pressed forward today.  Even though I do so much wrong (I think) in my life, God sees my heart.  Sometimes it's hard for me to realize that.

The Lord spoke through the Pastor today about my situation and of course God is on point.  I love how He knows those things that go on in my thoughts when I haven't shared with anyone.  This exhortation came on time!!

I didn't want to go home after the bridal shower today so I made a little pit stop to the Kauffman Memorial Garden.  I've always wanted to stop and check it out and what a great HOT day to do that and spend some time with God.

It was so beauty to see the flowers, fountains and scenery.  I got to sit in the nice shade on the grass and just enjoy myself and think about things.  There are some hotspots in KC and I need to do like I did today and just go.  I keep saying, "I want to or I need to" and I secretly sometimes say, I want to do that with Boaz but tomorrow is not promised to us, shoot the next breath isn't.  I don't even know if Boaz is in God's plan for my life so I need to just do and see the things right in town that I keep pushing off. 

Thank you Lord for the beauty of this world, for showing us how much you care for us in so many ways. Thank you for loving me for me.
