His Faithfulness

Hola!
This week has been really stressful and overly emotional. But, God came through and gave me a great day yesterday, filled with encouragement from His word and encouragement from people around me. I love His faithfulness!!!!

"Rejoice, you people of Jerusalem!
Rejoice in the Lord your God!
For the rain he sends demonstrates his faithfulness.
Once more the autumn rains will come,
as well as the rains of spring."
~Joel 2:23

Hoping in Him,
Abby

My Head is a Pretty Crazy Place to Live

Hola!

So, my head is a pretty crazy place to live right about now. I have so many dates, deadlines, and to-do lists to remember- and today is one of those days where I feel like I am on "Input Overload". It's on these kinds of days that I neglect to turn to The One who can help me in these stressful times, and I so often try to do things on my own.

My least favorite human trait is forgetfulness. I hate forgetting- and not just forgetting someone's birthday, or forgetting to turn something in on time, or forgetting my lunch at home. No, I hate spiritual forgetting. Forgetting to take everything before Him in prayer, forgetting the Bible passage I read the day before, forgetting all the lessons He has taught me, forgetting His faithfulness and how He has shown His face to me in the past, forgetting His great promises and plans for my life, forgetting where my confidence comes from, and forgetting that I am made in His image. I forget so much, and it is only in Him and through Him that I can do anything. I take refuge in this today, and also the fact that, beyond anything my mind can wrap itself around and beyond anything I deserve, He still loves me! He loves me, even in my forgetful human state.

Clinging to Him,
Abby

Quote of the Day

"In the old days, TV writers used to give their characters lovable traits
: He has a soft spot for the downtrodden! She's self-involved but ultimately principled!
He sings in the shower! She makes great banana bread, and sneezes cutely around cats!
These days, crazy is the new lovable. All you need to get viewers hooked on a character is a succulent psychological disorder or two: Awww, he's so obsessive-compulsive!
Look, an alcoholic with violent mood swings! How cute! Her sense of self is so malleable.
Oh, I love it when she gets all socially withdrawn and displays flattened affect like that!
... If your TV sets are fun house mirrors that reflect who we are (except with whiter teeth and more money),
then it looks like most of us are ready for the funny farm."
