Day 24

I love pink and gold.

I'm a big color person. I like having lots of fun color in my life. I enjoy being able to add beautiful variety with colors.

It's fun.

Day 23

I love that God has a plan. It's bigger than I can imagine. It's grander than anything I could dream up. It's not thwarted by my mistakes or the mistakes of others.

Even on the hardest days when I have come to Him crying holding shattered remnets of my dreams, He takes my trembling hands in His and reminds that He is still in control. His plan is still advancing. He will be with me. His plan will win.

Oh how often I have fought Him. Yet He still takes care of me and works to heal and restore me. His plan is always best. Always.

Oh my soul, trust in God. His plans are always best. His plans are always for your good and His glory.

The hardest time in your life may just be the beginning of His greatest work in you.

Day 22

I love sticky notes.

I'm a bit of a sticky notes addict. I enjoy making lists, writing notes, and using  different colored pins on my paper calendar.

I have a whole mini filing system for my sticky notes based on priority and when I need to do them.

I love little notes with flowers or Bible verses on them.

I know I can probably save money by doing it all on my phone, but I like paper and ink. It's fun.

Day 21

I love that I live in a country with police officers.

Over the last few weeks as the bombings have occurred around Austin, I've watched brave men and women step up, protect us, and follow leads. They deserve our respect and support.

All too often the cops are painted as the bad guys. We don't like it when they give us a ticket or fail to stop any harm from happening.

But these are the people that God has placed in our lives to protect us and enforce laws.

I am thankful to live in a country where we have people who's full time job is to keep us safe.

I pray blessings and safety over all of our law enforcement today.

Day 20

I love my wardrobe.

I love spring dresses, flower prints, lots of color, and dressing up.

It's fun to be able to play, match, and have more clothes than I even really need.

Day 19

I love how God sends me encouragement when I need it the most.

When I'm down and can't see to the other side, sends me encouragement. A friend, a blog post, a text from a loved one, someone's post on Facebook, a verse, or a letter. God knows just how to send me the encouragement I need.

It lifts me up. It spurs me on. It keeps me heading toward the goal. It makes all the difference in the world.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me and lifted me up. Thank you for encouraging me to press on and not give up.

Day 18

I love the church that God has us in right now.

It's not perfect (after all they let me in the door) but the people and the way we are fed and challenged spiritually keeps us coming back.

The music draws me closer to God and the messages challenge me in my faith. The people encourage me to be who God made me to be.

After being out of the church for a while, I am thankful for God providing us with a place we can grow and be challenged.
