This woman so inspires me. My children will learn about her right alongside women like Joan of Arc, Hellen Keller, Florence Nightingale and Betsy Ross.

I like to compare God’s love to the sunrise. That sun shows up every morning, no matter how bad you’ve been the night before. It shines without judgment. It never withholds. It warms the sinners, the saints, the druggies, the cheerleaders—the saved and the heathens alike. You can hide from the sun, but it won’t take that personally. It’ll never, ever punish you for hiding. You can stay in the dark for years or decades, and when you finally step outside, it’ll be there. It was there the whole time, shining and shining. It’ll still be there, steady and bright as ever, just waiting for you to notice, to come out, to be warmed. All those years, I thought of God and light and the sun as judgmental, but they weren’t. The sunrise was my daily invitation from God to come back to life.

Love this quote! His mercies are new every morning!

[buildfaithdaily]

I want to be known as somebody that loves. Somebody that’s compassionate. It’s about compassion. It’s about the passionate heart of God for people. We’ve got to stop manipulating people and manoeuvring them into praying our prayer and just become love. Not pointing out the trash, but pulling out the goodness that people are. We’ve been given the ministry of reconciliation, not imputing the world’s trespasses against them, but reconciling people back to the Father. That’s the ministry we have.

I want to wake up and smell the cold forest air, I want to feel the soft moss under my bare feet as I sip tea. I don’t want to worry about what time it is or what’s going to happen next. I just want to be.

destroy this new idea that a woman can’t be strong if she cries over a man she’s lost. destroy the idea that you have to be cold and emotionally detached in order to be a strong woman

If walls could talk...

[pearlsandcamies]

Today I went to a little cafe and had coffee and a muffin, sat in a sunny window and read.  Then I came home, picked up J and we had a Mommy/daughter morning out running errands together. We went to two places we love to go.. a library and a thrift store. Then we went to the dollar store and grocery store.  Bought some of my favorite things: Old, used, china tea cups and saucers Old, used classic books Teaching tools for my class.  So far it's been a super fun day!

Allergy flare up today making today one of those days where I crash in the evening. I don't like those very much... but at least tomorrow is Friday. Oh and I had a coffee cup of boiling water explode in my hand. Thank God for my husband being able to help out tonight and essential oils killing off the burn quick.
