Friend, if you’re feeling passed over lately, un Friend, if you’re feeling passed over lately, unacknowledged, overlooked…you might just be in a beautiful position to be used by God.
.
Young King David knew what it was to be overlooked, left in the fields to tend the sheep while his brothers were brought before Samuel & considered for kingship.
.
Yet, in the end, it was the overlooked & under-acknowledged David who was anointed King and called a man after the LORD’s own heart, by God Himself.
.
Oh, friend, even when it feels like no one notices—keep showing up!
.
The Lord sees your humble acts of service all wrapped up in the crumpled gift wrap & raveled ribbon of a living sacrifice.
.
It’s worthy work, dear friend—witnessed in the secret places by the Almighty Himself. 💗

Happy Fri-Yay, friend! 💛

I’d love to hear…have you ever seen an upside-down rainbow?

The 2nd pic is a photo I took of the upside-down rainbow I share about in today’s P31 Devotion, Peace by Piece.
.
If you’re like me, so much of life can feel upside-down, too, at times. Can I get a witness?!
.
Yet, more and more, I’m realizing the legacy of those upside-down pieces of our stories—for the God who shaped our souls for purpose understands every part of our lives from the eternal perspective of completion.
.
I’m praying for you today, friend, that you sense the ever-present God of Peace surrounding you…holding you.💗
.
Would love for you to pop over to Proverbs 31 Ministries to read the full article and share in the conversation today, my friend! 💗

These glory days where rest seeps into the parched landscape of our busy lives and revives us from within.

For there is beauty here in this sabbath of calm.
