Living His Plan

Dear Girls,

I’m sitting having some quiet time with God and this verse in Psalm stood out to me, so of course I wanted to share it with you.

You saw me before I was born. Every day of my
life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid
out before a single day had passed. Psalm 139:16 (NLT)

Tonight that verse really caught my attention. Can you imagine, a day by day account of our life was written before we even existed. There is nothing you and I will ever experience in life that is a surprise to our Heavenly father. Isn’t that great? He loved us enough to plan our lives before we were even born.

I know I don’t always live up to His master plan for my life, however ultimately I would love to think that, I am living His plan… What about you?

God bless,
Bernadine

A Mother's Example

I'm over here today.



Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. Genesis 5:24


Enoch was one character I didn’t relate to at first in my Old Testament reading. It seemed impossible for anyone to have such a close intimate walk with God, but as I thought about my mother’s life Enoch was the Old Testament character that I thought about most. He doesn’t have a whole book in the bible, just a few verses. However, the verse above could have been written about my mother. ..
