“you just need to realize that it’s okay to be beautiful and that what men think about you has no effect on what your Creator thinks about you.”
Going to lie down and be quiet and in prayer
Father, find me.
Amen.…that you are connected to all living things.
You may think you are separate and all alone, but the truth is there is so much interconnection. When you feel alone, allow time for connection and communion. If there are no people around for good company, then be with nature: a dog or cat or tree or ocean. Good company comes in many forms.

My blog is the thing that allows me to meet and fellowship with other Christ followers around the world. The people I’ve met through this blog are my closest, most treasured and confided-in friends. Of course Jesus comes first. I can never deny Hiim. This blog fixes my eyes on Him, and I am so thankful to God for leading me to start it. Of course, I know that blogging distracts some of us, but it can be such a blessing, too.
My Johnnie is really, really down, I’m so worried about him. He says he feels sick and sad, and he won’t eat, won’t talk, just sits and stares. He will hardly talk to me. It seems like trying to talk to him about it just makes him more stressed. I think it’s work that’s making him feel this way, but he just says he doesn’t know. The only thing I can do is pray.
I am so grateful for everything our Lord Jesus has done for us. I’m so grateful for all that He has done in me. I am so grateful for all the wonderful people He has brought me to and I am so grateful that we get to spend eternity together worshipping Him.
Let’s all take care of each other.
Amen!A midst it all, You are bigger. So I’m going to keep running. It hurts and I feel so incredibly drained, but I know You are going to keep giving me the strength and the breathe in my lungs to make it through. And You’re never going to stop.
I put my trust in You. I stand on You. No, I do not understand. I’m so confused, feel so useless, so alone in this lifetime and uninspired 99.9% of the time, but You are God. Name above all names. King of Kings, Lord of Lords. And even through that, You have given me a Prince of great, sweet Peace. You love me and You are holding me in Your upright hand. So whom shall I fear, other than You? You, who holds me together.
So I will keep running. Clinging to the Cross, drenched in your blood and sweat and freshly soaken with my tears. Aiming for You, I will keep running.
