Perspectives

Some of the lovely ladies from my school at a recent retreat!



The INCREDIBLE view of the city that I get to see each time I go up or down the mountain!

The view from the top floor of a neat ministry that I was able to visit recently!

There is strength in trusting

Isaiah 30:15

"This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says:

In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and TRUST is your STRENGTH."

(Larger, bolded words mine.)

I've been thinking and praying, a lot, on the topic of trust lately. This verse stood out to me while I was reading last night. I love the fact that the Lord will provide strength as we choose to trust Him.

Beautiful thoughts

"Do I serve the Lord for what He gives me or for who He is?"

"Do I serve the Lord because He answers my prayers or because He's worthy?"

Serve and praise the Lord in good times and bad!

*These were some points brought up at church today. They hit home with me.

**My hope is to use this blog as a journal/place to reflect on life experiences and upcoming transitions. Hopefully some of the things going on in my life will encourage YOU, at times, as well!

Third time's the charm, right?!...

I've recently looked at so many wonderful blogs - so I thought I'd give this yet another try. Hopefully this one will last longer than my last two blog attempts!
