MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️: Morning Sunshines! I’m up early to head out for school appointments to start talking college stuff for Johnie.

How. Did. This. Happen.

Anyway…I don’t have long, but here was my thought this morning:

You and I were born for such a time as this.

Cliche? Maybe. Truth? Definitely.

We are here. Now. In the midst of it all. FOR A REASON. There’s no mistake. God knew when we’d be born, where we’d be born, to whom we’d be born and why we were born in this generation. He KNEW we’d be the ones that could handle whatever came our way at this stage of the game.

We can either look at it as “this happened IN history while I was alive” or “this happened in history BECAUSE I was alive.”

There are days I want to curl up on my couch on this mountain and be a pacifist, and then, there are days I want to rally the troops and be an activist.

There are times for both. The key is knowing the TIME you are in.

Esther knew. She knew why she was born. She knew what needed to happen to become prepared for that. She knew when to keep quiet. She knew when to speak. She didn’t come out, guns a blazin’ from day one. She understood her seasons and she watched for the opening.

I’ll probably have more thoughts on this as the day progresses, but for now, that is all.

Here’s to knowing the TIME and the openings.
