I just have to say that I stole this quote from my new friend from bible study, Kimberely's facebook and I just LOVE it!
...That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beats everything out of never trying.
(Well other than the waking is better than sleeping, because you all know how I feel about sleep!

This quote kind of explains the past two weeks in my life! My first two weeks as a 28 yr old were not exactly stellar to say the least. And that's putting it mildly!! There has been alot of stress, worry, drama, tears and heartache.It hasn't been the most fun I've ever had but I feel like I am being stretched, and growing in different ways that I wouldn't have, had these weeks been bland as vanilla.
I am learning to go to God for my worries (WORRY VS CONCERN!!) and problems and I'm leanring what its like to truly pour my heart out to him. I will confess that it is still challenging for me to totally give up everything, I am a worrier by nature and like to obsess over things and analyze every little detail but that is so not healthy for me. I was sick for four days this past weekend and I know part of it was just from all the worry and heartache. Part of which I could have avoided if I hadn't avoided the real issue, but I digress!!
This song is really speaking to my heart right now, especially the first verse. Chris Tomlin has amazing lyrics and really just hits it home. This is the first verse to I will Rise-
There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say "It is well"
When I was away at college in FL, it was a very rough time, and my favorite song, and mantra that I would repeat in my head became It is well with my soul. (Yes, can you tell i'm a musician everything in my life revolves around music and lyrics! (great movie btw))
And tonight as I sit on my couch, listening to my Jesus music and the glorious spring rain fall steadily outside, I am at peace. I do not know what tomorrow or the next week will hold. Undoubtedly there will be heartache and struggles and worry, but I am at peace because I have a Saviour who loves me.
