Women's Focus Ministries: Friday Writings.....4/29/16

Good morning...
Today was mixed for me. I will start with the bad news first. I drove over to Pleasanton to pick up a drivers manual. I have to prepare to take a written test before my birthday. Sigh...8-{ Now for the good news. I am participating in a Fitness challenge which includes good food choices and exercise. I have not built the exercise into it yet. (I am not a fan of exercise.) I plan to start that phase of the Challenge, and today I bought myself some happening walking shoes! ;=}
Have a fantastic Friday!

Today's Devotional is called "Who Are You to God?" It is a collection of scriptures shared by Corinne Mustafa that illustrate how God values us and loves us. Hopefully readers will redesign their negative self talk and treat themselves more positively.

Snippets of Spiritual Insights from Beverley

Tears are lenses through which our dim eyes see more deeply into heaven and look more fully upon God's face than in any other way. - shared from "Word for Today."

This is true in my life. Whether they've been tears of joy or tears of sorrow, my Lord has always helped me to see Him- more clearly. Through them.
