😸Philippians 1:18, 3:12-14, 4:1; Psalm 130:4 & 2 Corinthians 12:9
📆 Almost halfway through July! Wow, where does time go? Where are you in your study of Philippians 4 & Psalm 16? Don’t forget to send a nomination for PWP July Christmas every Month!
💭 I have found myself having difficulties writing this month, not due to lack of inspiration or desire, but feeling out of my comfort zone. I am a closed-circle kind of person & actually not so social on social media! 👍🏻
🤷♀️ I’d ask myself..Why would anyone care about my relationship with God? Maybe I should just stick to my cat videos & leave God out of it? I recognised my internal struggle & continued turning to God. I decided to add a faithful discussion on predestination & God’s calling with my adopted lil sis, to discover some further perspective to this barrier. I took some time away from screens & the PWP project & just spent time undistracted reading the Bible & spending each morning time in prayer, asking God to fill me with His truths & assure me as I am listening…
📖In rereading Philippians, I was reminded this morning of the immense joy Paul had while sitting in prison, writing this letter to his crown jewel church, thanking & praising them for their faithfulness to him, to Christ, & God’s truths. God nudged me with a reminder that when teaching of this…Teaching of Christ, no matter the motives it is worth rejoicing! I am certainly not saying I am doubting my motivation, as God knows my heart, my love & the good will I try to share through PWP & that it is about Him & His Word. (Even if no one reads it 😊)
🔔 I feel the emotion of Paul when I write these posts. I rejoice in sharing the love & goodness of living in God’s light, & I know that with my foundation firm in the forgiveness of the Lord, my weaknesses will be used for His good. In the past, when I hit a barrier on a project (feeling out of my comfort zone), I froze & couldn’t move forward for weeks or maybe months, if ever. But this time, when faced with this internal mountain, I turned to Prayer, Study, & Faithful Fellowship to overcome. With this in my heart, I am able to press on toward the goal & get past that worry. At least for today! 😉
✝️ How do you manage the barriers in your life & overcome these obstacles? What role does faith play in your journey?
🙏🏻🐈⬛ Oh heavenly Father, our Redeemer. We praise Your name & find joy in being Your servants & sharing Your goodness. Lord, we ask You to place Your hand on those with any anxiety, to calm them, & let them know that You will bear their burdens.

Music Today: Letting Go-Switch
“Letting Go”-Lyrics
Did I ever have control
Or just anxiety?
Did I ever really know
What the point was supposed to be?
Was I close enough
And did I mess it up
Trying to do this on my own
Feels like maybe something’s missing
I’m asking You to show me there’s a bigger picture
Even with these questions
I open up my hands
Come and wreck my plans
While I’m waiting I will worship
I trust You’re in control
Come and make me whole
I’m letting go
Maybe I don’t have to see
What the future holds
To trust Your promises to me
In my weakness You are strong
And in the moments when
I feel powerless
You are closest to me then
Even with these questions
I open up my hands
Come and wreck my plans
While I’m waiting I will worship
I trust You’re in control
Come and make me whole
I’m letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
I’m letting go
Maybe You’re not keeping secrets
And all I need to do
Is ask for Your perspective
You’re showing me the bigger picture
Sorry for the times I’ve missed it
Even with these questions
I open up my hands
Come and wreck my plans
While I’m waiting I will worship
I trust You’re in control
Come and make me whole
I’m letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
I’m letting go
Letting go
Letting go
Letting go
I’m letting go
