Yesterday I scrolled through my old blog posts back to a year ago…2011.  June 2011.  It seems like a lot has happened in the last 365 days.  Not a lot as in BIG things…but little things…and isn’t that what life is made up of?  Little moments that take your breath away bringing a smile to your ridiculously cute face. :)

I was thinking...it’s good to remember.  In remembering, we realize that God was with us in those past moments, comfort to know He will be with us in our present moments, and resting in the fact that He will be there (UNCHANGING AND FAITHFUL) in the future.  What comfort and assurance!!! 

Someone very dear to me has been on my mind…in my thoughts…pressing in on my heart…they are only able to remember the past moments.  The funny memories, the heart-to-heart chats, the lectures, the quiet times…they won’t be able to share in present moments nor future…I hope and pray that they are remembering in a way that helps their sad heart.

As I was reading in my devotions this morning, I stumbled upon this nugget of truth and I want to share it…

Hebrews 13:5
“Let your conversation be without 
covetousness; and be content with 
such things as ye have: for He 
hath said, ‘I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.’”

I was encouraged…
My speech (and I believe thoughts) is to be without covetousness! But then read the last part of the verse...
I can be content with what I have  and as I wait…because He, Jesus, said that He will never leave me NOR forsake me.  No matter how many times I fail Him (because I do fail Him)…He will be there.  He will be faithful.
