The morning devotional stated something beautiful and thought provoking- “ Are you glorifying God in the way He’s writing your story?”

When things don’t go as expected, I’m trying to see it as opportunities to do what God created me for- to praise Him in all things.

Yesterday I had planned to make several deliveries and run into grocery store but looking at my precious daughter bought out the momma in me even more and so I told her what we will do instead.

I love how God directed me to play with Ruthie, talk with Riven and be there for Luke and cuddle and change sweet Lucy Grace while my beautiful daughter transformed from leggings and sweat shirt with no makeup into a stunning woman all dressed up like a Christmas model to attend a party with her husband.

As I sat and watched Homes Alone once again, I read the words the momma said to the officer,” What would you do if this was your child?”

Think of this- how deeply we love our children that we will do anything for them… and God loved us- His children – so much that He sent His only Son to be born for us.

I’m sure this wasn’t Mary’s plan.. I’m sure Joseph didn’t plan on raising the Son of God, but they both let God write their stories.

And last night after Geoffrey Lyons and Kateley Lyons left the house, Ruthie Jane sat really close and placed her hand upon my thigh as we watched the movie and it hit me that it’s exactly the same way Mema would place her hand on my thigh when we watched a movie together.

I’m so glad that things didn’t go as I had planned because God’s plans are so much better- and they work together for our good and His Glory.
