I recently came across this great quote, and had to share it.

"God, send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. And sever any tie in my heart except the tie that binds my heart to Yours."
— David Livingstone

The other night we had such a gorgeous sunset, I couldn't resist the urge to get out and snap a few pictures! This is one of them, raw and unedited.

Makes me think of that verse, "The heavens declare the glory of God".

Love that Waits

While I can't clam these words as my own, I have made them my commitment to my future husband.

I will hold out for real love

I will hold out for intimacy

I will hold out until my heart is ready

I will hold out for God's timing

I will hold out for purity

I will hold out for just one man

I will hold out so I can have butterflies

I will hold out for all that is sacred in God's eyes

I will hold out because I am a peculiar treasure

I will hold out when others around me are giving in

I will hold out as long as it takes

I will hold out my open heart to You, Lord

I will hold out my empty hand and wait

Prayer Time

I've had a prayer list for my devotion time before, but never kept with them very well. At times it seems that there are so many people and things to pray for, you almost have to have them written down to remember them all, so I'm trying something new.

What I did was, for every day of the week I have note card, then on each note card I wrote things to pray for especially on that day. For example: today I am praying especially for our country, our leaders, my brother-in-law who is deployed, and others serving in the military.As there are answers to prayer I can easily write them on my cards, and make new prayer cards.

I just started trying this, so we'll see how it goes!

Blogging

I've been thinking about starting a blog for awhile, and now I've finally done it!

The purpose of this blog:

I always find it an encouragement to hear how God is working in other peoples lives. My hope is that this will be a place where I can share how God is leading and teaching me, and I desire that somehow God can use that to bless others.

I'm new to blogging, so if you have any suggestions or ideas, I would love to hear them!

Thank you for checking out my blog!
