We all have a list. This list consists of worries, concerns, pains, hurts, wishes, anxieties, frustrations, convictions, and judgements. They can vary from marriage, to children, to school, to moving, to wants, to needs, to finances, to friendships, to family, to dreams...and then some. Everyone's is different. Everyone's is uniquely connected to them personally. And if you're like me, this list can often run over and over in your head.
Even though we feel that we have 'the right' to feel these many emotions on our list, it's not always the best thing for us. When we put all our energy on these things, we often feel drained and discouraged. We can also feel like we're in it alone; like we're the only one's who are feeling this way....which is not true. One thing is the same, and will always be the same. No matter what storms are in your life and on your list...God's response is the same.
So often we focus on our feeling, our desires, our wants, our dreams, our needs, our fears, our pains, instead of focusing on the everlasting and constant response that we receive from our
Strong and Loving Father. The following video explains what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHdcyue0bSw
Love you all.

Love is in the Air
In honor of "the month of love" I thought I'd share some of my favorite love quotes.
“If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.” --Winnie the Pooh
"If you're a bird, I'm a bird." --The Notebook
"I think our love can do anything we want it to." --The Notebook
"When I found him whom my soul loves; I held on to him and would not let him go."-- Song of Solomon 3:4
I am so grateful for the love God shows me through my family, friends, and my dear husband. Most of all I am so grateful for the relationship of love that I have with my Savior; my Pursuer and Friend.
"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." -Ephesians 3:16-19
