Daily Scripture Text:

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28*

Commentary:

This verse from Romans 8 offers profound assurance that God is always at work for the benefit of those who love Him. It reminds us that even in the midst of trials and challenges, God's plan is to bring about good for His people. This does not mean that everything will be easy, but rather that God can redeem and bring purpose to every situation, ultimately working for our spiritual growth and His glory.

Questions:

1. How does this verse give you hope and confidence in God's providence?

2. Can you think of a time when you saw God working for good in a difficult situation?

3. How can you live out your calling according to God's purpose in your daily life?

Prayer:

Dear Lord, thank you for the assurance that you work all things for the good of those who love you. Help us to trust in your plan, even when we cannot see the outcome. Grant us the wisdom to discern your purpose for our lives and the courage to follow where you lead. In Jesus' name, amen.

🌼🌸🌺 Your Weekly Sundae Reading: Call Mom #7 🌺🌸🌼

🌙 Intuitive Question to the Deck

Hey there, lovely souls! What's twinkling in the cosmic spotlight for Self-Care Sundae's?

As the celestial dance unfolds with a Cancer moon and Aries sun, guess who takes center stage once again? It's our dear card "Call Mom #7"! Seems like the universe is gently nudging us to sprinkle some gratitude towards the nurturing feminine spirits in our lives – be it our mothers, mother figures, mentors, or anyone we hold dear in a maternal light.

This recurring card whispers to our hearts, inviting us to embrace the blossoming spring energy and shower our relationships with tender words and gestures. Let's take this moment to bloom and sprinkle positivity not just around us but within us too. After all, self-care includes basking in our own glow.

Keywords and Heartfelt Thoughts:

This isn't just about dialing a number; it's about wrapping our loved ones in warm appreciation without expecting anything in return. Picture the smiles your words can paint, the hearts they can touch!

Practice:

Let's make a pact to extend our outreach not just today but throughout the week. Whether it's a call filled with laughter, a message glowing with affection, or a note handwritten with love, let's ensure our dear ones know they reside in the core of our hearts. And yes, darling, don't forget to give yourself that same warm embrace of acknowledgment and love.

In a world where a simple call can light up someone's day, let's grab this chance to water the roots of our connections and nourish the garden of gratitude. It costs nothing but showers our lives with blessings beyond measure.

Let's make this week a melody of heartfelt connections and self-appreciation, harmonizing with the symphony of love that surrounds us. 🌟💖✨

Post inspired by GaurdenTales' Selfcare oracle deck readings.

If you want to change the world around you, start by changing yourself from within. Instead of dwelling on the negatives, focus your time and energy on the positives.

When I was younger, I worked at a dollar store for two and a half years. Many would think it was an easy job and that I should have been happy. But the reality was different. I felt miserable due to the long lines, one manager who constantly screamed at me and made unreasonable demands, customers who followed me home, and more. The more I dwelled on these negatives, the worse my job became.

At one point, a customer threw her iced coffee at me because I had to check IDs to sell lighters, following store protocol. It was a rule that had been in place for years. After she was escorted out and banned, my head manager, the actual boss, told me to go home early for the day and take a few days off. I think she knew I was burnt out and close to quitting, and this incident pushed me over the edge.

During that week off, I reflected and realized there were more cons than pros to staying in that job. When I returned the following Friday, I decided to try and make it a positive day. While it wasn't perfect, it was better. The lines were shorter, and I could get more recovery work done. This positive trend continued, and things began to improve.

Eventually, my head boss had her baby and quit, leading to a transition to find a new boss. A new team also merged with ours, and they were some of the nicest people. I was able to focus on my favorite job, recovering the store and making it look nice, as the night manager took over the register.

Although I lost this job due to COVID-19, I was happier towards the end of my time there. I became known as the happiest person among my coworkers and customers. Even my favorite customers noticed the change and cheered me on. While it may have seemed like chance that I became happier and things improved, I see it as a blessing.

Life Lens - Entry 129

Curveballs & Blessings I’ve had my fair share of plans that just didn’t click. But you know what’s crazy? I’m sitting here, feeling downright grateful for those curveballs. Back then, it stung a bit – I won’t lie. I had this whole vision, this grand plan, and when it crumbled, it felt like the end of the world. Fast forward to now, and I can’t help but appreciate the beauty of those ‘failures.’…

In a society that often associates messiness with negative connotations, we overlook the hidden wisdom and transformative power that lie within our mistakes and chaotic experiences. Messes, though initially daunting, hold valuable lessons waiting to be discovered. They serve as catalysts for growth, offering us the opportunity to introspect, learn, and evolve. Our greatest errors can become unexpected blessings, guiding us toward new paths and opening doors we never knew existed. Moreover, these personal transformations can resonate with others, turning our missteps into powerful messages of inspiration and encouragement. By embracing messiness as an inevitable part of life's journey, we embrace the profound potential for growth, resilience, and the emergence of our authentic selves.

🌿 Garden Tales Moon Magic 🌿

Today, under the fiery influence of Aries, and with the Moon gracing the 12th house, we are called to embrace the mystical dance of dreams and reality. As we navigate through the mist of Pisces season, the Moon Magic deck reveals its wisdom with "Taking the Moonlight" card, marked by the number 20.

This card speaks of dating, flirtation, and charm, inviting us to explore the realm of new connections and beginnings. It's a gentle nudge to embrace the first stages of development, to meet someone under the moonlight for fun and friendship, with the potential for something more serious to blossom in the future.

In the dance of life, sometimes all it takes is a fresh perspective and a chance encounter to ignite the spark of love and joy once again. So, let go of the past pains and hurts, and open your heart to the possibility of new experiences and connections. Take a chance on someone, something, or someplace new, and allow yourself to dance, flirt, and laugh along the way.

Today, let's embrace the magic of new beginnings and the joy of discovering what the universe has in store for us. 💫🌙🌿✨

For this new series of assemblages relating to crows, I forced my figurative imagination to work more abstractly than what I am typically comfortable with. Abstract art has a unique voice that permits both the artist and the viewer a sense of expressive freedom. Despite its spontaneous appearance, it can possess distinctive structure. Crows would not recognize an object they may pick up in the same manner as I would. By placing small random items that I thought a clever bird could carry in their beaks, I attempted to convey a visual language of shape, form, color and line to create compositions that may exist with a degree of independence from visual references of the human eye. Swipe left for close up detail.

Blessings in Disguise: Discovering Godly Friendships Amid Betrayal

I've learned firsthand the importance of discernment and wisdom in choosing the right people to walk alongside me in my journey of faith. However, amidst the trials of betrayal and wrong accusations, I've also experienced the profound faithfulness of God in bringing unexpected blessings into my life.

The pain of betrayal and false accusations runs deep, shaking the very foundation of trust and leaving scars that linger long after the wounds have healed. Yet, in the midst of my struggles, I've come to realize that God's plan for my life is far greater than the pain I endure. He is a God of redemption and restoration, capable of turning even the darkest moments into opportunities for growth and blessing.

In the aftermath of betrayal, I found myself questioning the sincerity of friendships and struggling to trust others. Yet, it was during this season of uncertainty that God revealed His faithfulness in a most unexpected way. He brought not just one, but three individuals into my life—friends who stood by me with unwavering loyalty, love, and support.

These godly friendships were a testament to God's provision and grace, reminding me that He is always at work, even in the midst of our pain and confusion. Through their encouragement and companionship, I found healing and restoration, as well as a renewed sense of hope for the future.

These friendships were not just a coincidence; they were divine appointments orchestrated by a loving and sovereign God. They served as a reminder that God never abandons His children, even in their darkest moments. And through them, I experienced the truth of Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, which says, "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up."

As I reflect on my journey of choosing godly friendships, I'm reminded of the importance of trusting in God's timing and sovereignty. While betrayal and wrong accusations may have shaken my faith, they ultimately led me to a deeper reliance on God and a greater appreciation for the friends He has placed in my life.

Moving forward, I am grateful for the lessons learned through adversity and for the blessings that have emerged from the ashes of pain. And as I continue to journey through life, I do so with a heart open to the divine appointments that God has in store, trusting that He will continue to lead me to relationships that reflect His love, grace, and faithfulness.
