Love this, Lisa. What a great mantra. This is powerful, “Instead, to counter the future orientation, I try to come back to this moment, where God is most present.” Love thinking about the now moment is where God is most present.

I love this, Lisa. I think I actually went though these steps yesterday when there was a shooting at one of the high schools in our city. It wasn’t my daughter’s school, thankfully, but it still hit pretty close to home of course. I was sad for the situation, but I decided not to let my mind wander down the trail of “what if it had been Molly’s school?” I hope it’s never her school, but it wasn’t yesterday and I am very thankful for that. Wonderful post and series!

As a 3, I spend so much energy on the future, which is not a healthy pattern, so this quick mantra is a good anchor to the present.

Lisa, I used to often say, “I wasn’t meant to live in this time or in this place, etc.” Then one day I read Acts 17:26 and felt the Lord ever so gently correct me. He has placed us to live right where we are (here), to fulfill His purpose for us (what), in the time we are living (when) and with His help (who). I love this one and am grateful you shared it!

I’m learning to enjoy the now–but it hasn’t been easy. I’m a planner and I like to know each step along the way. But understanding that God’s plan might bring unexpected events, and this his plan is far better than mine, has helped me learn to enjoy the now.

It is so “important to stay grounded where God is present with us” Lisa. I’ve enjoyed your 28 mantras. Thanks for sharing with us this past month!
