to those who are .. . .. 

"discouraged, defeated, ashamed, restless"
 
²⁸ “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Jeremiah 29:11

 ² Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2

⁶ Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

Actively hope in the Lord. Do not cling to the old ways as you step into the new year, His mercies are new every morning, the old has gone and the new has come.  

1. blessed blessed blessed.. is what i've been feeling lately.
2. freely give what was freely given.
3. His ways are higher and far better than mine. He humbles the proud.

Daniel 4:37
 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.

Living out the faith even though it can get uncomfortable, but knowing that He is already working, that His ways are better than mind, that it is He who humbles the proud. That others may see my God is Lord over all, and exalt/praise Him for He is worthy.

Hello to..

new beginnings+chapters in life.

time flies. people age. people come and go.

Congrats to the new beautiful bride, and dear sis.

Living with her the past 5 years, I've come to truly see and learn the fruits of the Spirit -love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control

Being the youngest, although I like to be independent, has its perks. aka. to be cared for. 

thankful for the dual cleaning-laundry, times I came home late/famished from work with dinner all made/set, worried txts and calls, being my barista, watching scary shows together, and always just being there. 

Changes in life are always bittersweet, but am excited for all that's to come.
