Strength
There are times when you feel your strength and energy completely draining away. This is the precise moment to place your trust in the Creator. He is waiting to carry the heavy burdens you are experiencing. Let Him fight the battle and claim victory for you. While you may possess great courage, some challenges are not meant to be faced alone. Be gentle with yourself and acknowledge your own human limitations.
Mind
Cultivating discipline is essential, and it always begins within your own mind. Guard what you allow into your thoughts, because whatever your mind absorbs will ultimately manifest in your actions. When you master this internal discipline, you will naturally build healthier relationships with others and achieve the success you have been pursuing.
Friday
A persistent rain has been falling from the early hours of dawn through mid-morning. The continuous downpour is growing exhausting, especially as floodwaters keep seeping into the house. Fortunately, our water pumps are managing to push the water out. Without them, the flooding would be significantly deeper. Though several areas remain damp, we are stuck waiting for the rain to cease. We desperately need a monsoon break.
Sun and the Beach
With the sun still high in the sky, we strolled along the shoreline. Feeling the crisp breeze against my skin and wading through the cool water, we contentedly waited for the sun to set.
