My emotions can be so overwhelming. Most of us get so tired of trying to tackle our emotions that we simply let them lead. In my life, this is a recipe for disaster.

We spend so much time comparing with others that we don't take a hard look at our own lives. I know this is true for me. I can feel that emptiness when I start to compare seep in. It feels like what someone else has was stolen from me.

When we plant God is able to make grace abound to us in all things at all times. He produces the fruit from the seeds we plant and He decides when and where it grows. What are you planting that maybe hasn't grown yet? Can you keep planting and believe God will make it from at the right time?

I don't know where Thanksgiving is landing you, full of anticipation or anxiety...or a little of both.

Less thinking and more thanking. I wrote this on my bathroom mirror. It's a safeguard for my mind this week.
