“Why are you cast down, oh my soul?
Why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.”

I love this verse. It’s a great reminder for me that though you can’t choose the battles you go through, you can choose the attitude you decide to have. I can’t control my circumstances or the people around me any more than I can control the weather…but I’ve learned that in every season, things don’t always last forever. The only thing that remains constant and faithful in every situation is God and His word. 
My encouragement this season is to trust God, no matter what. Even if things aren’t going so perfect, I can rely on a perfect God to keep me running when I don’t feel like I can go another mile. So for now, I’ll just be patient…and wait on God and put my hope in Him. 

So I’m kind of looking forward to next week Monday…escape route? Maybe. Either way, it’ll help take things off of my mind and I can move on. 

….in and out. One day at a time. It’s all in God’s hands. 

God I look to You,
I won’t be overwhelmed,
Give me vision to see things like You do.
God I look to You,
You’re where my help comes from,
Give me wisdom to know just what to do.

Lately, things have been a bit overwhelming and underwhelming all at the same time. Crazy, but there’s really no other way I can describe it. Yet, through the many circumstances and difficulties, the word in my spirit repeats James 5:8 that says, “You also be patient. Establish your heart, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”
I don’t know what the outcomes will ever be and I’m not too aware of where I’m going to go, but my heart is so established in the goodness of God’s love and the truth in His word that is my very foundation of faith.

Establish. Your. Heart. 

I honestly don’t know how my heart can handle all these goodbyes.

Gotta love the loft sessions. :)

I need a new dream. That is all.
