What Day is it?

The Burning Question:

What is the most over-rated place you have ever been?

Morning Devotional:

My adult daughter Kalvary is doing well. She has an apartment with her sister, is attending Minnesota State University, and fairly recently got a part-time job cooking at an assisted living facility. But here’s the odd thing—her boss, the director of the facility, is a friend of mine and attends our church.

I’ll admit, it feels a little weird. I’ve found that I have to be careful how I interact with both of them when it comes to their work relationship. Kalvary likes her job, but like all of us, she might occasionally have frustrations. One thing she doesn’t want is for me to intervene or talk to her boss about those frustrations. I respect that boundary and am grateful her boss is someone who follows Jesus.

This situation has reminded me of the importance of trust. As a parent, I want to step in and make everything smooth for my children, but sometimes stepping back allows God to work in ways I cannot. It’s a reminder that while I can love and support my children, God is ultimately their guide and provider.

Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

I’m learning to trust God with my daughter’s journey, knowing He is present in her workplace, her school, and her relationships.
