i'm thankful for such a fabulous weekend, because monday was no fun at all!


i'm a k-love listener and i'm not ashamed to admit that :) recently, i signed up to receive their "encouraging word" each day by email. it comes to my phone (around 330 am, i might add), but has reallly become something i look forward to each day. and these past few days of verses have been TOTALLY what k-love intended them to be - "encouraging words" - so i figured i'd share them with you!

"i cried out to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy mountain"
psalm 3:4
"spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish"
proverbs 18:13
"for i am waiting for you, o Lord. you must answer for me, o Lord my God"
psalm 38:15
"for our present troubles are small and won't last very long. yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever"
2 corinthians 4:17
"don't let your hearts be troubled. trust in God, trust also in me"
john 14:1
