My daughter and I started watching Bridgerton together on Sunday evening. In a subsequent episode, a lead protagonist declares her husband does not love her because LOVE DOES NOT LIE. It hit me deep and I spent time in 1 COR 13 pondering the difference between love and romance. Today’s One Minute with God at the shop immediately redefined how I will see “SMS” in the future.

Whenever I see “SMS text messaging”, I will think “Strength, might and spirit” and remember DEUT 6:5 which instructs us to love the Lord our God with all our heart soul and strength. It is repeated in other passages, but recent months have me feeling more connected to the first five books of The Bible. GPS is not the map function on our phones, it’s God’s Perfect Son, to me. I love that everyday worldly things CAN be reclaimed for the Kingdom. After all, Colossians 1:17 remains truth and He holds EVERYTHING together, especially me.

Miss Dottie was in this morning and loved the Godversation I shared with her regarding Miss Audrey’s 100th “would have been” birthday yesterday. I love that the LORD made certain JoJo found the clock last year already set to the time of 1:27. JoJo was going to set it to be the date of her mom’s birthday, January 27. It was already set to 1:27. It is no accident she found the plaque her mother bought on what would have been a “special” birthday. I could not help but cry tears of joy reading the plaque to Miss Dottie.

In eight days, I have had one thyroid pill. I do not know if my gut is wonky from the estrogen patch. Praise God, I found the former lost patches. I was telling my husband the other day that maybe losing 88 pounds has changed the requirements for my body. If there is a healthy way to not take any medication, I am all for it. If my body requires it, there is no shame in being as healthy as possible. I am just waiting for The Boss to tell me what is next.

Be still and know, He is God. He is for me. I know this in the depths of my soul. I am His.
