Celebrating the Week!!

by | Mar 26, 2011 | This Lefe Family

As Bill and I sit here in our living room tonight, each on a separate laptop (I’m laughing as I take in the sight of us–is this an early picture of what we will be doing when we have an empty nest??!!), we have been sharing with each other about our week. The ups and the downs. The stresses and the joys. We have much to be thankful for this week and much to celebrate! Thank you God!

It was a rewarding week being at Mission of Hope.  God blessed me through the people that came through our doors.

I was able to communicate with Pastor Barb regarding Mission of Hope each day this week (and multiple times on some days), since Tina was on vacation.  I cherish learning from Pastor Barb’s wisdom, communication skills and compassion for others.  She’s like my second mom.  What a blessing this was for me!

Zach started school soccer practice this week.  Oh, how he loves soccer!  It’ll be fun to watch him play again this spring!

I had the privilege of connecting with two other “soccer moms” in between our meetings late Tuesday afternoon.  We had some uplifting and encouraging conversations!  It was unexpected and wonderful! 

Zach was told yesterday at his orthodontist appointment that he doesn’t have to wear his head gear any more.  Yea!!  He’s making great progress with his braces!

Ali got her hair trimmed, and it is VERY cute!  How can my little girl be this grown up?!

Zach turns 14 on Sunday…again, how can my little boy be this grown up?!  We have a weekend full of birthday celebrations for him! 🙂

Bill got 11 hours of sleep in the last three days.  (Hello? Bill, you need more sleep!)  🙂

And tonight I get to hang out with my Honey…even though we are each on our laptops here in our living room.  At least we are together!  Can you believe, Bill, that we’ll be married for 19 years this summer?? 🙂 I love you!

It’s been a great week, filled with wonderful little events in our life that we are celebrating tonight!  I thank God for each one of them.

Are you facing one of life's storms today or know someone who is? ⛈️

If so, episode 189 of the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast is for you. It dropped earlier this morning, and in it, we discuss how to find peace in the storms of life. We are not alone in the storms we face, and I offer tangible ways to not just survive the storm but to thrive through it.

Listen to the short snippet here and find the full 19-minute episode @julielefebure or wherever you listen to podcasts.

An abundant life awaits you, even in the storms of life.

It's time for some Monday motivation! 

It's a new week, with new mercies, with a new mindset.

How will you speak life over your week?

What thoughts are you believing? 

Truth-filled thoughts or lies?

The enemy of our souls will sneakily pop thoughts into our minds that aren't true, and if we believe them, we end up living out that lie.

Yet, sometimes we can't tell the difference. Asking these 2 questions will help you discern what's true and what isn't. 

Give them a try today and listen to episode 188 of the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast where we discuss this in detail.

Life is too important to live out lies. Follow @julielefebure for more ways to live an abundant life.

Do we truly believe God will answer our prayers? 

Adding this one sentence in my prayers has impacted them. It reminds me of Who I am praying to and just how much I believe He can and will answer accordingtohis will. It's prompted me to pray bolder prayers.

Give it a try today and see for yourself.

Feeling anxious today?

Reciting truth to myself helps me. Here is one of my favorites. 

Anxiety is no match for our God.

I'm @julielefebure, and I'm here to help you live the abundant life you were designed to live. Follow for more.

Today, we will come across people who are feeling unseen, unheard, not valued, uninvited, not welcomed, unimportant, not cherished, and unloved.

May you and I be the ones to help them feel the opposite: seen, heard, valued, invited, welcomed, important, cherished, and loved.

Let's make a difference in the life of at least one person today and remind them of his/her God-given worth.

What we allow ourselves to think matters. 

It matters more than we realize because what we think about, we end up living out. 

We have a choice to believe the lies from the enemy of our souls or truth from God. Listen to episode 188 of the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast, where I share two ways to decipher the difference. 

Life is too important to waste it believing lies.
