John 21
So, everyone knows today is the day after Easter. What did the disciples do after the resurrection? Kinda looks like they just sat around waiting for Jesus to show up and tell them what to do. In the meantime, I guess they got bored because Peter said, “Hey, I’m going fishing”. He did something. Something good, something positive, and it sound like he put his heart into it. BUT, as soon as he realized the Lord was the one calling from the shore, he dropped the good thing he was doing, stripped off anything that would hinder, and went hard after Jesus. If you’re not sure what to do, what you’re being called to, be patient, do good, and do it with all your heart as to the Lord. But don’t get so caught up in doing that you miss His call when it comes!
MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Even though I know the scripture below says not to worry, God knows my path, it will be ok, I still worry.  I’m anxious, worried, and searching for my purpose in life.  We all know God is in control but we are human and have fear and concerns.  I pray each of you know God loves you and is in control…and I pray that I not only say those words but BELIEVE that God is in control and that I will be ok.

1 Corinthians 2:9 – “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Philippians 4:6-7 – “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Proverbs 3:5-6 – “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

1 Peter 5:6-7 – “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”

Psalm 56:3 – “When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.”

Proverbs 16:3 – “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”

MOLESKIN:

I used the sidewalk chalk that I bought at Guano’s garage sale. We’re going to miss you when you move back to South Carolina in the near future!
