Sun. Rays. Light. Hope.

Sun rays stream into the living room.

The rays light up the darkness.

With light, comes hope.

With hope....I can face the future, even if it seems bleak.

I hope.

It's been one of those days

Coffee and dark chocolate ice cream.

Indulgence is good. 

Heart shaped coffee art.

Very common I know.

Suits me fine today.

I am reminding myself of a truth.

- That I am loved deeply.

Peace.

Never settle for less

“He puts a little heaven in our hearts so that we’ll never settle for less.”

Waiting to see what He has planned - nerve wrecking, difficult and can be hard- but I am where He wants me to be. He will see me through. 

Thy will be done, Lord.

Tomorrow will be better. A promise of hope

 

Speak quietly to yourself & promise there will be better days. whisper gently to yourself and provide assurance that you really are extending your best effort. console your bruised and tender spirit with reminders of many other successes. offer comfort in practical and tangible ways - as if you were encouraging your dearest friend. recognize that on certain days the greatest grace is that the day is over and you get to close your eyes. tomorrow comes more brightly…

-Mary Anne Radmacher

What's the point?

That second paragraph is me- most of the time. I keep questioning myself- what's the point? What am I trying to achieve? What do I even WANT to achieve?

I feel so lost again. 

Lord, show me the way. I take comfort in Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)

As only I can.

“The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.”
—Neil Gaiman

Here's to 2014. A new year, with new beginnings, new adventures, new lessons, and new experiences. I want to develop me. My voice, my mind, my story, my vision. My future. As only I can.
