"May the best day of your past Be the worst day of your future." My Dad always wished me this Irish Blessing and I want it to matter today and every other day in my life.

Affirmation in the Almighty God
In the sacred verses of Exodus 35:35, I find affirmation that the Almighty has endowed me with creativity, a divine gift meant to be celebrated and utilized. It is a profound calling, one I believe I am meant to fulfill through various channels. God has whispered His purpose into my soul, guiding me to serve Him through my passion for baking, crafting intricate cake toppers, chronicling my thoughts in a blog, and expressing my love through embroidery.
As I immerse myself in these creative endeavors, I am reminded of my earnest desire to remain in His divine presence. Proverbs 23:7 cautions me about the power of my thoughts, urging me to align them with the purity of His teachings. I long to shed the cloak of negativity that has draped my mornings and conversations. Thus, I declare my willingness to be taught, to open myself to the transformative touch of the Holy Spirit, and to renew my mind with the Word of God.
Though I have fashioned charming fondant animals and crafted exquisite cakes, I yearn for more. I crave the ability to nurture creative thinking, to birth extraordinary ideas that could reshape my destiny. Lord, grant me the grace to perceive Your messages not just spiritually but also through the tangible world around me. Help me develop the vision that Joel 2:28 speaks of, for I confess that I have lost the art of dreaming. Repeated discouragements have dimmed the light of my aspirations, leaving me feeling stagnant and unfulfilled as I approach my 60th year.
Yet, I hold onto hope, for I know Your timing is divine. I await Your vision for my life, yearning for the revelation of Your purpose. With an open heart and a spirit receptive to Your guidance, I surrender my anxieties. Lord, I pray for Your wisdom to discern the path You've laid out for me. In this moment of seeking and listening, I rest my soul in Your hands, trusting that Your divine plan will unfold in its perfect time. Amen.
