Krishna Cruz Writes

Day 11 of our 21 day fast and I'm truly enjoying the time I get to spend with God! 💕.
My journal is exploding with daily entries and my spirit is high this January! God has challenged me to give Him 3 weeks of January and He will take care of the rest of the year; just as He promised in Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you."

Many people and things to pray for and goals to meet in 2022, so 3 weeks out 52 is not a big sacrifice really 😊. I pray my brothers and sisters are hanging in there as we do this together! 🙏

"When first things are put first, the second things are not suppressed but increased." ~~C.S. Lewis

Its been awhile since the last bike post and am needing some personal motivation to get on the saddle.

So here's a #throwback to when the hubs and I biked at Niagara Falls into Niagara-on-the-Lake; along beautiful river banks and gorgeous views!

Today's devotion is a confirmation of what's to come! 💕

This year, I have huge petitions and prayer requests and reading this today gave me the ability to see through my doubts and insufficiency.

But today's devotion made me hold my head up high, look up and confidently expect answers to my prayers; for there is NOTHING that my God cannot provide! You are the light of the world and my hope is in you Lord! You have never failed me. 💙❤

I can almost feel it 😍

I am currently holding on to this promise as I battle uncertainty and doubt in my mind. I have huge asks of God this new year and I know He will come through for me. It is the journey of my weak mind that needs to overcome doubt. But where I am weak...He makes me strong!

"For nothing is impossible with God."
~Luke 1:37

"During times of severe testing, even the best theology can fail you if it isn't accompanied by experiential knowledge of Me. The ultimate protection against sinking during life's storms is devoting time to develop your friendship with me."

One of the best comfort foods I make is garlic fried rice!
.
As a #🇵🇭🇨🇦 , one of the best things in life, is making a good bowl of fried rice. This time, I upped the game by adding another one of my faves to it, fresh chopped parsley and ohmahgah 😲, its soooo delish!
.
To make my version of garlic parsley rice, simply sautee fresh minced garlic with butter on med heat, then add rice, seasoning and when ready, add parsley last! 👌.

Trying to squeeze the last bits of r&r before these last few hours of my vacay are over. I'm ending this week with a grateful ❤, celebrating yet another year of life for both me and my son this past week.
.
I am grateful to God for the blessing of life and the privilege to enjoy it with my loved ones. I can never say thank you enough to Him, but to just appreciate the life He has given me...albeit simple, but beautifully and perfectly made for me. 🥰.
.
Standing on His promise today and always:
" 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' ".
~~Jeremiah 29:11.

Rest days are good for our mental health.
.
It is imperative that we learn to find time to rest; physically, mentally, and spiritually. There is only so much we can do for our loved ones, for our financial needs, or for ourselves.
.
Our ways are limited; but God's is not. Finding Rest in the Lord gives us the maturity to know of our limitations and understand God's unlimited strength and capabilities. For His strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Cor 12:9).
.
So find your rest...and when you do, rest in Him! Gos bless y'all! ☺.

I am reminded today that even without my realization, that God has stayed faithful to His promises. He takes care of my needs as I sleep, as I get caught up with my busy schedules or just sometimes being plainly forgetful. But the Lord is good, and today, was a nice reminder that He has been in constant watch over me and my family.
.
My petitions have been heard and I am confident with His capabilities. My prayers have been placed in His inbox and am ready to wait on Him.
.
I am privileged to be a daughter of the King. ☺.

I've been off the saddle for 2 weeks now since my bike was rendered unusable from its crash. Parts are slowly coming in for the fix and my #supacaz bar tape from #labicicletta just arrived and I'm super excited! Especially loved the personal note in the carefully packaged order too! 👍.

Now patiently waiting for the new rims so me and my girl can get back on the road! 🚴‍♀️💕 It's like christmas in June and I'm gettin' a new 🚲 with these upgrades! 😍 Special thanks to the hubs for the financial assist! 🤣😘. @huskycruzer
