just a few of my favorite things.

I'm addicted to reading quotes and song lyrics. I always find myself looking for words to describe how I feel or pick me up when I'm down. I have recently fallen back in love with the book of Proverbs. Its basically a whole chapter full of quotes! From GOD! I personally don't think it gets any better than that :) here's a few that mean a lot to me:

         Commit your activities to the Lord and your plans will be achieved. Proverbs 16:3
I mean wow. He's basically telling us if we are living in His will and we submit everything to Him, He will see us through it! I don't know about you,but I'm a such a planner, got the whole time line and everything. So knowing that as long as I'm in His will and letting Him work through me my plans will be achieved is major for me!

         The one who trusts himself is a fool, but one who walks in wisdom will be safe. Proverbs 28:26
This one hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm such a strong willed person. Lots of times I find myself thinking, I can handle this alone, I can figure it out on my own. It has taken hitting my knees because I can't physically handle it any longer for me to realize, wouldn't this be so much easier if I had some help? And who better to help me out when I'm struggling than God Almighty? Everyday I'm learning to lay my problems at His feet, and leave them there, trusting that He will direct me in His good and perfect will. And let me tell you, for the first time in a long time, I'm at peace, and its wonderful!

2 Corinthians 12:9 says, "But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weakness, so that Christ's power may reside in me."

I am weak but He is strong, but through Him I have strength! :)
