Some thoughts and verses that have stood out to me lately.

'Because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice.'-ps. 63.7

'Through God we shall do valiantly...'

' I will praise Thy name; for Thou hast done wonderful things...'

' don't be afraid. don't be afraid of circumstances. relax a little and enjoy Christ.' - z.g.

'God's nature is merciful...'

'God is not impressed with any of us. He is impressed with His only Son.'

'O God, Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Lord, make no tarrying.'

'in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.'


There is purpose in life that's bigger than any of our own. There's a plan for life and it's broader in every direction than any we could have planned for ourselves because the one God has planned actually accomplishes something. It brings Him glory. He doesn't need my help in anything and knows exactly what He's doing. His will is FOR US. He doesn't leave us to our own confusion, He is right there with us, helping us to grow even when it seems we cannot finish the job He's given us to do. He holds our hand and when we stumble under the load He gently carries us. He is so rich, we don't know our wealth, our inheritance. He allows us to be the fullest potential of ourselves in HIM. And His love? it never changes. It is secure and the reality He provides us with is not that of a dreamworld - it's real and it's lasting. Nothing we pour out for God - no pain, no effort, no loss is ever wasted, but it is laid up in heaven as treasure. 'The times we see God the clearest are when we're stripped of the rest of ourselves.' He's beautiful. More and more He's beautiful to me. I can't wait until heaven.

I'm so thankful for my family. We're weird and [some of us] are impatient and behind the times. We forget to tell important messages, we run stop signs and our cell phones go off in the really awkward places like church and weddings and funerals. We get tunnel vision, procrastinate and sometimes we yell over the phone which is very rude and I know because once I got a spanking for it. But we love each other. And we have a blast being together and even though we might have been thrown into the wrong time era, I'm glad we all got thrown into the mix together, cause they're awesome.





















just for the record, i love these people.
