Remember Sarah. I think I was judging her too harshly for her laughter. I've been reading and rereading Hebrews 11 this week and the second time through this verse jumped out at me. By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. Hebrews 11:11 Are you past the age? Or do you maybe just feel passed over? It takes practice to believe the promise before the proof.

I have talked to God a lot this year about pleasing Him. I have a people-pleasing bent and He has been revealing it to me in the gentle way that He does. I sense we will be unpacking how I can please Him with my faith and fill that desire so that I don't spend exhaustive amounts of energy trying to please people when that was never my job.
