I've probably already gotten your attention with the title! What in the world is TGFS?!!! Well, sit back, grab a cup of coffee and allow me to explain!
In my daily life I'm a wife, women's ministry director, and a full-time employee. My plate is overflowing and I am always on the go. If I get to sit still for long it's a miracle. Well, my Wonder Struck journey requires me to sit still, listen and take in the sweet whispers of God's Holy Spirit.
Just about 5 minutes ago, I was thinking about my work week (particularly this week). It's been a long week. We've all heard people say "I'm having a case of the Mondays." What if you had a "Case of the Mondays" all week long? You're searching for some good news, a ray of sunshine, a break in the chaos. It's not been a horrible week, but it's just been hectic you could say. There hasn't been enough of me to go around.
Not 10 minutes ago, the Holy Spirit whispered to me "Sunday is on it's way!" I got quiet and began to think about that phrase. Then came the picture of Jesus dying on the cross. You want to talk about having a case of the Mondays?!!! Jesus had a case of the Mondays wrapped up in a week. He was betrayed by His own, accused of things He didn't do and then crucified. God quietly reminded me that earth's saddest day and gladdest day were 3 days apart! You see, things might've seemed hopeless on Friday, but on Sunday when the stone was rolled away and Jesus rose victoriously from the grave, it was the gladdest day on earth! Sunday brought new hope! On Sunday life had new meaning!
So, TGFS (Thank God for Sunday!). So when I'm overtired and my week gets hectic, He is my portion! (Psalms 142:5) He's more than enough to get me through every day of every week! Sunday is on it's way! Live Wonderstruck! Live with anticipation that brighter days are ahead!
Living Wonder Struck,
Alicia Roark
