Beauty rests in the assured.

I think quotes are my most favorite thing in the whole world, but not really, I just really LOVE them.

"But what seemed to be failure from man's standpoint was a triumph from God's standpoint, because God's standpoint is never the same as man's purpose."

- Oswald Chambers

Yeah that's a good one. Just soak that in for a second. It's from my book I'm reading right now by Joyce Meyer "I Dare You". And it is so good!

That quote really stood out to me because it got me thinking. How many times have we failed at something and literally thought it was the end of the world, there was no fixing this, I've failed at life. Woe is me. But what we saw in our eyes as failure was triumph in God's eyes. That is so powerful.

"The Lord has made everything to its own end and His own purpose... (Proverbs 16:4)

His intention for us is always better than anything we could devise. In other words we can't over-fail God. We can't fail too many times... we can't fail big enough!! Because he has every little thing planned out. Every LITTLE thing. That means he also has the big things in His hands.

I just barely got out of going through some hard times. Been a season for me, not sure I'm completely out, but things are definitely better. I came out with a better sense of trust for my God. Before this I don't think I was honestly trusting God, so when things came crashing down on me, I ran. I literally ran away from Him. I felt as if I had failed myself, and failed God. I thought I was so strong, but I had not completely fallen into him. It was like God I trust you but I'm kind of going to keep one foot in the door and one out, just in case. That's not the case for me anymore. I see things so much different now. I don't get depressed when something goes wrong. Because God has such a strong love for me, such an undeniably strong overwhelming love for me that He must have something better for me. So that's how I do life now. Which makes life even more casual :) I'm already half hippie. I'm headstrong, and loud, and out there, but I have this peace about me. I know my life is in the Creator hands, and I ain't got a thing to worry about. Real talk.

"We will not enjoy life until we accept God's will with joy and stop trying to understand everything that happens contrary to our own desires."

I don't understand everything right now, and why certain things have happened. But all is well, and all will be well. Rest assured.

Life update:

Now to the juicy stuff- NOT. Right now I'm working on my second year of college. Making them good grades. You know how I do. ;) But really. I actually am doing really well. Surprise. Good things happen, when you apply yourself. Who would have thought.

Mmm I'm working two jobs. One for the City of Hutto, and with this lady.

Everything has kind of fallen into place lately. It's been amazing. God is good.

I want to write a milli things right now, but I want to save it for like hello tomorrows.

Good day mate.

Hope everyones Valentines rocked.

So many people were so centered on those three words yesterday, and I got what I wanted... two words :) so simple. Bliss.
