Weekly Encouragement

August 22nd to August 28th

This week is one that marks a lot of change for me, for a number of reasons. So many things seem to be changing, and I know I am not the only one that is struggling with this idea of “change”. So many people I have spoken to recently have commented about their struggles in so many aspects of their lives. We have all agreed that life seems to be crumbling. The wonderful part about that, though, is that life is beautiful because it is a gift. You see, each day that we wake up is given to us by God. We need to remember that we don’t deserve any of this, but God still gives us new opportunities each day. Above all else, though, God is working in our lives. He is living and active!

One of my friends recently commented on the statement in the image above by reassuring me that God does have a plan “no matter how painful it feels [and] no matter how weird it may seem”. It is such a good reminder that God is holding every moment!
