1:5

January 5th - It's amazing how much my mindset can put a spin on things.  In the midst of chaos, God still speaks to me.  His Word is fresh and new each day - these verses spoke to me in a way today that they never have before.  Thankful for the Holy Spirit that speaks to me in the depths of my spirit instead of just to my mind that will spin things to make them say what I want them to say!  I hope that in your situation today (good, bad, or otherwise), that His Word will breathe life into you.
