October came in hot man. Like, I woke up day one with eyes so swollen I looked like Quasimoto from Disney.

Then as soon as I stepped out of my car at church – ants. All up my feet, legs, and then hands.

Nice.

And y’all, October is my favorite month. I knew, knew, knew that I couldn’t let these few minor inconveniences ruin my day – let alone my whole month.

I’m the one in control of giving my emotions to Jesus. I would much rather Him manage those wild things than me. Let’s just be honest.

And then you know what happened – I got a text from H‑E‑B saying that all of my items were in stock. Let me just tell you, that’s huge when you’re gluten free.

And then I backed into my parking spot like a boss.

And then I took the best Sunday afternoon nap EVER.

And then.

Y’all, life is good. Some moments stink. Some days stink. However, I encourage you to give those moments to Jesus. Because my Jesus will replace those seemingly jacked up moments with joy.

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. – Psalm 16:11
