A few facts:
beauty-out-of-ashes:
God is sovereign
He loves me
He knows what’s best for me
He is a GOOD God

I have a little iPod Shuffle
and when I first started going out with my ex-boyfriend, he filled it up with songs that reminded him of me, and I never deleted any of them, and kept it like that for like 2 years. Now he’s gone, I’m filling it with worship songs ;)
