Life has been crazy for the Smith’s. We have been busy
trying to close out shop in one city only to move to another and that can be a
bit of a headache. But we are excited to see what God has in store for us in
this season of our life. Things were not always this way for me though.
We have so many plans sometimes don’t we? And when they do
not pan out the way we want we can tend to be a little sour. A couple years ago
my family moved out of a big city to a smaller city as I mentioned in previous
posts. I was sour point blank. I was upset that God moved us out from our
comfort zone. I did not trust His plans right off the bat. I doubted and
questioned what he was doing.
Now, I am so grateful He did what He did. I can see His hand
in all that He was doing. He brought us to a place where we knew nobody only to
strengthen me, my marriage and my walk with Him. Today, life is different for
me and I would not change the way it all went down for nothing.
Sisters, God’s plans are perfect. We may not see light when
change is happening in our life and when we are faced with the unknown but He
truly works things all together for our good even in discomfort. I know this
first hand.
Today, I encourage you to mediate on His truth. I was doing
my devotional this morning and reading with the lovely community of www.shereadstruth.com ladies and read Matthew
5:2-12, The Beatitude’s. The one that really stood out for me was verse 8: Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God.
In the midst of change or chaos in your life it is my prayer for you that
you see God. That your heart is pure before Him and you will trust His plans
for you and not what you see for yourself.
Be blessed my sisters God is on your side!
In Christ,
Monique Smith

Lord, thank you for your word. Thank you that in the midst of uncertainty
you always encourage my heart. Father, I ask for nothing today. I choose to sit and worship you because you are my stronghold and I want to honor your name. I love
