Quotable thoughts

"With every encounter, make it your aim that people are better off after having been in your presence. Try in every encounter to give something, anything, to someone else."
-Jim George

"Today is mine. Tomorrow is none of my business. If I peer anxiously into the fog of the future, I will strain my spiritual eyes so that I cannot see clearly what is required of me in the here and now."
-Elisabeth Elliot
(I think me and this women have some strange connect. Every emotion I've ever felt since I started walking with the Lord.. this women has written a book about it. She is literally my hero.)

Foster Care and Adoption

The more I learn, the more I see, the more I understand the need for help. I pray the Lord blesses me enough to give some of those kids somewhere stable to come. I never thought or dreamed about taking in anyone else's kids but once I entered into the Social Work world, my perception totally changed.

Why Blogging is Good Procrastination

I always do this. Everytime I have a paper due, I find myself wanting to blog. BUT I've come to the conclusion that maybe it is a good thing because it gets me writing. Even if it is totally not what my paper is going to be about it still gets me in the mood to write. It's like paper pregaming. (If I can even make that reference) Anyway, I am going to try to focus now. If I need another study break.. you will probably see another post shortly. Oh and here is something actually worth reading, hope you've read this far.

Anonymous: "I've got nothing."
God: "Heaven is for you."

Anonymous: "I am nothing."
God: "I would trade anything for you."

Anonymous: "I'm...not clean."
God: "I know."

Anonymous: "What do I do?"
Jesus: "I already did it."
God: "Please come home."

Just Read

http://heisjealousforme.tumblr.com/post/1473636509/here-is-my-heart I want people to read this because her words move me. They move me in a way no one else's words ever have. Her passion ignites my soul. I read her posts all the time and I felt like I needed to share this one with all of you. Just click and read.

WAIT - what a bittersweet word

I'm having a love-hate relationship with the word WAIT right now. It's been everywhere lately, in almost everything I do and think about. It's frustrating. No one likes or particularly enjoys having to be patient for things, and that is the hate part. The love part comes when you realize that wait is a momentary or transition time until the correct time come, but IT IS COMING. Which should be a relief but too many peope doubt and quit before they ever get to the correct time, in turn stealing the joy from that future moment.

I have been told to wait. Be patient. Have faith and hold fast because something is coming. A moment is coming. Divine moments are coming and things will reveal why I am in this holding period.

The Lord is faithful and when He promises things to you, He isn't lying. Don't doubt. Keep your eyes forward, there is glory in the distance.

I heard my pastor once preach on patience and he used a Christmas metaphor; God knows what you need, what you long for, and what you are meant for, and He already has it for you beautifully wrapped and placed under the tree for you to open, but today isn't Christmas and the moment of joy when you get to open them has not come yet. Be patient and know they are already in place and the time is coming.

This shall be my moto from now on

Just slight procrastination

Seriously I only want to blog when I have a lot of homework to do.. grrr. Oh, well. I'll make it short.. thought for the day.. I LOVE MY MAJOR... it's crazy how just loving on a neglected soul will light up someone's very being. Social work was meant for me, third major is a charm i guess! :) Happy November everyone!
