Still in the process of cleaning my room... but it’s slowly starting to look better and better, and it’s definitely feeling cleaner. As today is Monday, I volunteered for four hours at this beautiful place. Today was ugly sweater day and some of the staff went all out. It was pretty quiet today, and we decorated cookies and had hot chocolate. Feel so much warmth whenever I come here. <3
Been reading Uninvited by Lysa TerKeurst and I’m already more than halfway through. So many great points to learn and continually remind myself and become transformed by. Some memorable quotes thus far:
“Rejection steals the best of who I am by reinforcing the worst of what’s been said to me.”
“We’re all desperate to anchor our souls to something we can trust won’t change.”
“Feelings are broken boards. Only truth is solid, unchanging, and stable through and through.”
“The most beautiful love story ever written is the one you were made to live with God.”
“Live from the abundant place that you are loved, and you won’t find yourself begging others for scraps of love.”
“The gravity of living in a sin-soaked world will always try to hold us back from living loved.”
“[Abigail] refuses to be a victim of a circumstance she can’t fully change. Instead she changes what she can.”
“Believing God has purposed our days will save us from the trouble of stepping into plans that aren’t meant for us.”
“What happened yesterday can’t be changed, but it can be forgiven. That’s your miracle in the mess.”
“If we avoid the hurt, the hurt creates a void in us. It slowly kills the potential for our hearts to fully feel, fully connect, fully love again.”
That’s it for today. Had a short but good workout, folded laundry, and I’m about to read some more.
