worth fighting for

Some days you're fine. and other days you're not...and that pain starts to creep into the dark spaces of your heart - the places that maybe you've forgotten about, or have just ignored.  And you start to feel. 

But you want to heal, completely. and you want to let go, and move on.  cause you know - deep, deep in your soul - that there are far better things ahead than what we leave behind.  

So you look for something to try and give you comfort - to help you remember.  and you run across beautiful words like Scott's. and you find hope.  and you find strength to keep going forward. 

to keep fighting.  Cause you know that anything worth having in this life doesn't come easy.  And you know that a butterfly only gets his wings through the struggle of breaking through the cocoon.  And that truly, the darkest hour is just before the dawn.  

So you hold on, because you know that the promise of the rising sun is on its way. 

----------------------------------------------

For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and My covenant of peace shall not be removed,” 

says the Lord, who has compassion on you.                    -Isaiah 54:10

hope in the midst of hurt...

// Even in the midst of pain and confusion...He is still good, and we are still loved. // 

"Our notions about happiness entrap us....

We forget that they are just ideas. Our idea of happiness can prevent us from actually being happy. We fail to see the opportunity for joy that is right in front of us when we are caught in a belief that happiness should take a particular form."

 Thich Nhant Hahn

words to remember...

I have been having a lot of fun making these typography / quote / picture things....  I love them because I set them as the lock-screen on my phone, and then every time I turn on my phone I see the truths that my soul needs to remember and grasp hold of....

I just can't get enough of this promise lately…

the way of the Lord is good...

"He knew her lack. He knew her vulnerability. He knew the ways Ruth had been hurt and the things she’d lost. And He provided her just what she needed at just the time she needed it. It may not have been the life she would have chosen, if she had her way. But it was the way of the Lord, and the way of the Lord is good..."

Yes…these pictures were taken with my iPhone…not my Nikon… But, I'm ok with not picking up my camera today.  I'm allowing myself to be ok with not picking up my big camera today…but, still choose thankfulness… 

I'd rather share some of my heart with you today… or rather, what the Lord is working in my heart.

I love Pinterest. (that's a huge understatement) But, I mostly love it for all the quotes that I get from it. =) I love love love going to Pinterest and reading new inspirational quotes, or funny sayings, or song lyrics, or scriptures or whatever… A lot of times when I go there, I'm actually reminded of What/ Who is important…

So, I'd like to share some of my favorites from this week…

this was actually from a book I read this week...
