refuge and strength

Oh Saturdays.

I forgot how special they are.

Seriously the best day of the week.

I love just relaxing and getting to do fun little things all day.

I have been watching cake shows 24/7 lately... bad idea.

I have been craving one so badly so finally tonight we went to YOLO and got cupcakes :)

how yummy does that look?!

So I just read Jesus Calling and of course the Lord just touched my heart.

I am still amazed that the passages I read fit so well with my current situation.

The only thing you can grasp without damaging your soul is My hand.

Ask My Spirit within you to order your day and control your thoughts,

for the mid controlled by the Spirit is Life and Peace.

[JesusCalling]

I really like this because I feel like this is one of the biggest struggles in my life.

I have, still, and will still struggle with this.

I always try to grasp or fill that whole of my heart with things other than the Lord.

Whether its a boy or friend or some other person or thing I always try to grab for things that are not the Lord for help.

Not that I have not done this myself, but it always breaks my heart when I see friends that are so lost because all they have in their life is a boyfriend and he lets her down.

Attention all girls:

If you only rely on a man to make you happy you will always be disappointed.

He won't text you back when you want him to.

He won't say the right things.

He won't always be there for you.

He is unreliable.

He will never fill that place in your heart that the Lord was made for.

Not saying that you can't have a boyfriend or that he won't make you happy.

But if you don't love and trust the Lord more than him, you will always be let down.

Psalm 46: 1-2

God is our refuge and strength, and ever-present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.

With Love From My Father,
