Leave it to the Breeze

 "The wind blows where it chooses . . ."

John 3:8a (NRSVCE)

This verse came to mind when I was in the grocery store yesterday. It's funny how often I feel like the Lord is speaking something when I'm getting groceries. It makes me wonder if He's like, "I know this isn't your favorite. Let Me keep you company."

After I'd finished running my errands, I was flipping through the radio stations. I'm incredibly picky when it comes to music. I finally landed on a station playing "Let It Go" by James Bay. There was a line that really grabbed me. "Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze."

Whatever you're dealing with today, leave that business to the Breeze.

What I've been listening to . . .

"Somebody Else" by Ruelle

"In Madness" by Constance

"Change" by NF

Currently enjoying . . .

My insulated water bottle. This was a birthday gift from my sister. It keeps my cocoa HOT long after I make it.

"Remington Steele", a TV series that came out in the early 1980s about a female investigator who can't get any business until she invents a boss named Remington Steele. A nameless former thief assumes the role of said employer. Cue mystery, drama, and a healthy dash of humor and romance.

Blessings,
