Flying Cereal Introduction

This morning wasn't my most stellar. I had happily announced "Cereal Day!" thinking it was garbage day (Thursday). After patiently reminding me "it's Wednesday," my family was okay helping themselves, especially since I whipped up strawberry and white chocolate chip pancakes for them yesterday. ;) 

As we sat down to pray, I dramatically and quite accidently brought my hand down on my spoon handle (plastic, because all of the other spoons were dirty). The mini catapult went into immediate action - up went the spoon and cereal went flying into the air like confetti. There was a hushed shock around the table. My husband and one son stared nervously, in harmony inching away from me as I giggled, declaring I'd be finding cereal in my hair for a week. (And it wasn't the fancy granola you see above - uh, it was some old pumpkin spice Cheerios mixed with a dash of Raisin Bran. At least it took flight before the milk was poured!)

Not all of my mornings are as comical and crazy, but this one thing I know for sure - my entire life would be a bundle of truly CrAzY of the craziest ... more than it already is, if I didn't have God. He is my Rock! I stand securely in Him!

We live in interesting days, and it's not by mistake.             

         He chose us
                               to be
                                          here
                                                   NOW!

"For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14

Like Esther, I want to walk by faith and do hard things because God is more than able to use me and see me through. It's a privilege to serve God!

The best thing I can do is REST IN HIM. He likes doing the heavy work. He loves it when I adore Him, resting as a child in the arms of her Father, trusting Him completely to take good care of her. Of me. Of you! I feel honored you're here and pray you will be encouraged in the midst of your storm.

Not gonna do it. What? Carefully edit my posts, like a good writer does. Nope, this is casual, real life, cereal-in-my-hair kind of writing. If you come along for the ride, welcome - and I hope you enjoy the trip!

Resting in Him,
Sara
