Hello Friday

Let's take a trip back into my youth, shall we?

Somewhere between wearing Care Bear shirts…..

And killing it with the carpet bag vest and jean skirt…….

(My cute little cousins Holly and Morgan. I think we were at White Fence Farm. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm wearing panty hose under that jean skirt. Ugh.)

There was a night on TV called TGIF.

And all the shows were golden.

And family friendly.

That means no nakedness or swearing or other disturbing things happening that are so readily available on TV's today.

It was on ABC.

And they played shows like Family Matters and Boy Meets World.

I literally could not wait to get home after a long week of school and eat popcorn and watch these shows with my family.

To this day, my mom still texts me on Fridays and says "TGIF".

Have you been following along with She Reads Truth ? Everyday, those ladies bring the word and it packs a punch.

Not only are their words beautiful, but the graphics they combine with it are stunning.

Some seriously talented gals running that show.

Today's reading on Esther is about Power, Pride and Anger.

Everyday, there is something horrible on the news. Its full of more bad than good.

There is so much evil and wickedness that it seems like staying in bed with the covers over your head is the safest bet.

But God created us to be influencers.

Full of grace and hope for those who can't find it for themselves.

People are struggling to find their way all over this world.

It's not always headline worthy stuff either. 

That quiet girl in the cubicle next to you. Yep.

That guy who makes your Iced Venti Americano, with an extra shot, light on the ice every morning, him too.

Or that couple you share a pew with at church, going thru the motions. 

The family up the block pretending every things cool. 

It's a real struggle friends.

Let love be your guiding light this weekend.

Pick out the good from the bad.

Let Love Be Your Motto.
