My Daily Musings-July 23rd, 2026

My Mom picked this scripture for us to memorize this week and this verse really stuck out to me.

Deuteronomy 31:6-“Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them; for the Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”

As I repeated these words this week before I researched the context of the verse, I could picture in my mind these words as a battle cry and I think they are in a way. Moses is 120 years old at the time and he has been wandering the wilderness with his people for 40 years. He knows his time is running short on this earth.

He says these words to his people as they are looking over the land of promise. God told Moses before that he would never set foot in the promised land. So Moses prepared Joshua to lead his people into the promised land.

These words have as much meaning for us today as they did back then. If you are going through something hard, you might think that you are alone in your struggles. Just think of these words, “He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”

What past experiences remind you that God has already been faithful to you? What would choosing courage over fear look like today?

How Sweet the Sound

Melodies & Musings

As a Christian for all of my life, I have always believed in my Savior, Jesus Christ and His power to save me. I have always loved the song, Amazing Grace.

I really like the words of the first verse: “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see.”

We are all human and we make mistakes every day. Our Heavenly Father in His infinite wisdom knew we would need a Savior. So in His amazing love for us, He sent His Beloved Son to save all of mankind. Without Jesus, we would all be lost and have no hope of overcoming our weaknesses and mistakes. But, thank goodness, that we have our Savior. Because of Him, there is always hope for us to change and become better.

Have you ever felt so lost and in despair that you didn’t know if you could make it anymore? If you ever feel like this, just picture your Savior’s loving arms around you to raise you up.

I have posted a video of me singing the first verse of this song. I hope it brings you comfort and peace.

As Endless as the Sky

My Daily Musings-July 22nd, 2026

One of the characters in the book The Lumber Baron’s Wife by Lynn Austin talks about God’s love being as endless as the sky. If you look up at the sky, you can’t see the end of it, it seems like it goes on forever. Our Heavenly Father’s love is like that. We can feel it and we know it is there, but we can’t see the end of it because it is endless and eternal. I thought that was a really good analogy.

As someone who grew up with my parents teaching me about my Heavenly Father and that He always loved me and cared about me, I have kept that belief all of my life. I feel the love of my Heavenly Father the most when I kneel to Him in prayer. Every time I pray with sincere effort and wanting to communicate with Him, I feel His love for me.

Have you ever paused to look at the sky and let it remind you of God’s endless love? When have you felt His love most personally?

We can feel His love for us any time and anywhere. He will shower us with His endless love whenever we need it.

Finding Hope When Life Feels Like Eternal Winter

Melodies & Musings

Over a year ago, I was having a conversation with my therapist about one of my favorite book series from childhood, C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia. We were talking about how heavy and sad it must have been under the reign of the evil White Witch—where it was “always winter and never Christmas.”

I’ve never been a fan of winter; once Christmas passes, I’m ready for spring! During our conversation, my therapist asked me a question that really made me pause: “What is your White Witch? What are the things in your life that prevent you from feeling happy and having hope?”

I spent time pondering that question and talking with loved ones, which inspired me to write this poem. I recently pulled it out of my journal to polish it up, and its truth rings just as true today. It’s so easy for negativity, personal weaknesses, and carrying the weight of the world to freeze our joy. But in Narnia, when the great lion Aslan appears, the ice melts, Christmas returns, and hope is restored.

In our real lives, we have someone infinitely greater. Because of our Savior, Jesus Christ, winter never has the final say. No matter how cold or overwhelming life gets, His grace brings the thaw.

Where Everything Is Possible

My Daily Musings-July 21st, 2026

“The wonderful thing about praying is that you leave a world of not being able to do something, and enter God’s realm where everything is possible.” — Corrie Ten Boom

My mom recently shared this quote with our family, and it immediately resonated with me. Having read Corrie ten Boom’s books, I know she endured incredible hardship. That makes these words even more powerful. She understood that prayer doesn’t always change our circumstances right away, but it does place us in the hands of a God for whom nothing is impossible.

Over the past few years, as I’ve navigated the daily challenges of living with chronic illness, prayer has become more important to me than ever before. I find myself turning to my Heavenly Father with greater sincerity and dependence, knowing He understands every fear, every disappointment, and every hope. I don’t know exactly how He will answer every prayer, but I do know that when I walk beside Him, anything is possible according to His perfect will.

When life reminds you of everything you can’t do, where do you turn? Have you experienced the peace and strength that come from placing what seems impossible into God’s hands? I’m so grateful that prayer allows us to leave behind our limitations and enter God’s realm, where hope is always alive.

Have a blessed day! ❤️
