Just Before Dawn

Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.

The dark still lingers. 


Coffee perked. 
The morning sounds beginning. 
My farmer and girls; still milking. 
The pause before the day begins. 
One of my favorite times of day. 


It is the time I feel most in tune with my Savior. 
The time when my heart is full. 
When I feel strong. 

It is after my feet have touched the floor. 
The moments where my soul has been refreshed in the Ancient Word. 
Each day holding on to a truth. 
A verse to cling to. 

Holding a steaming cup of coffee. 
I breathe deep. 
I let go of the thoughts that seek to discourage. 
I hold fast the truth. 
I step into the newness of the day. 
This is work each day. 
I am ready for what God will send my way. 
There is nothing He and I can not handle together. 
I want to see where He leads. 
I long for lives to be changed. 
Hope.
I long to be used by Him for His work. 

Won't you step into that path today? 



Lay down those burdens. 
Seek a better way.




With God, all things are possible. 

Matthew 19:26
Jesus looked at them and said,
 "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

Summer, Please Don't End

Milking is finished. 
The cows are heading to pasture. 


It is unseasonably warm. 
(with NO humidity!)
A glorious sunrise. 


Hot coffee. 
The Ancient word. 

Taking time to -
Stop
And thank God for:

This sunrise
the beautiful weather
(and NO hudimity!)
lots of coffee
A slower day
grace for the journey
friendship
new adventures
music
learning in the struggle
fall


baking
did I mention coffee? 
farm table visits


new employees
warm breeze
Sheets on the line


and coffee


May your day be filled with immeasurable grace. 
Attempt to not complain about one thing. 
At all. 
Look for the thankful moments. 
Be the hands and feet of Jesus to just one person. 

Let me know how this works for you. 

Blessings on this day. 

Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God;
 the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
