seasons.

you should clothe yourselves instead with the beautfy that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. [1 peter 3:4]

we have a new sermon serious at church; seasons. we all face seasons during our lifetime, both good and bad. right now, i have a season of change, a season of hurt, a season of disappointment, a season of growth, a season of finding-a-new-normal. etc. etc.

the last month has been hard for me. adjusting to a "new normal." i have had good days and bad days. last week i had a few bad days... but i am really trying hard to focus on the positive and move forward. this season too, shall pass and i will grow and learn from it. it's hard at times to remember that though. but i hope a few of these verses can remind me daily that i will make it through. my pastor always says worrying will do nothing for you.

don't wory about anything; instead, pray about everything. tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. then you will experience God's pease, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. [philippians 4:6]

for i can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. [philippians 4:13]

this is corny, but cute :)

this too shall pass. i am just glad that i have an AWESOME God who i can turn to.

bucket list.

remember the movie that came out a few years ago called "bucket list?" well, i never saw the movie but the concept is great. you create a list of things you want to do/accomplish before you die.

a co-worker of mine has a bucket list that she actually uses. if she does something on her list, she crosses it off. that is awesome! there are so many things i want to do in my lifetime, why not make a list? yes, i know i am only 26...why do i need a list of things to do before i die? am i being morbid? no. just hopeful that i will accomplish things off a list.

so this weekend i want to create a fabulous bucket list. not only adding things to it, but making it a creative process. maybe busting out the cricut machine i just brought over to the apartment...

do you have a bucket list? if not, you should consider making one and try to cross things off :)
