My new favorite quote:

"Dont not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired."

Mother Teresa

my strength and comfort...

I am not going to go into details, but this has been one of the hardest weeks of my life...here is how I'm getting through it and why I choose joy.

Maybe you need this as much as I did...I really feel like I needed to share it.

Psalm 18:30 God's way is perfect. All the Lord's promises prove true. He is a shield to all who look to him for protection.


Matthew 11:28-30 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Did you put your armor on!?

more on Bud soon-but for now...

We will soon be going over this in Jr. High Sunday School and I wanted to share it with you, because the word of God always has the best timing.

Ephesians 6:10-18

10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
