And it's so true that God is at work behind the scenes. When you go through hard seasons in life it isn't always easy to remember that, to keep in mind that He is doing a work in our lives that He will be faithful to complete to the end. I love that quote by Helen Keller, I need to carry that with me. <br /><br />I'm glad you liked my list! It made me feel lighter just writing it out.<br /><br />I agree that good days are indeed ahead. I also believe in you and what I see God doing through you. And I can't wait to see where He continues to take both of us. Hope you and your husband had a great Easter! And I will definitely update the code to your blog. Talk to you later Jen! :)Krystal Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925937179631028237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7946103648315226459.post-44373683533038593382010-04-03T09:38:15.996-05:002010-04-03T09:38:15.996-05:00Krystal, this part resonates with me the last whil...Krystal, this part resonates with me the last while:<br /><br />Life has felt way too serious and intense lately. I feel like I’m in desperate need of a breather, a vacation, in desperate need of simple things. Do you ever feel that way?<br /><br />so YES! I can relate... 'you are not alone!' ;)<br /><br />I love your simple things list ;)<br />I agree with these ones wholeheartedly! <br />~Cupcakes! Fun to make and fun to eat.<br />~Inspiring quotes. I love to read and collect quotes that inspire me.<br />~Journals. <br /><br />I was struggling so much lately with trying to hold onto the old and resisting the new without even realizing it. The truth was I was afraid of that 'empty feeling' and it wasn't until I recognized the root was what we all know especially as women: our two biggest fears are loneliness and abandonment and yet our ultimate desire is to know our value and that we are ultimately loved just as we are. I have read this before and it resonates so deeply. So, it helped me once I hit the bottom to know that is all it was. So, I was able to face the root and cry out to God over both of those labels and he began lifting me up. I pray the same happens for you also, I know it will. Also there is a quote by Helen Keller which essentially says "What was once a part of you, you can never lose." or something like that.. so we begin to see our self as whole and then the perspective changes. <br /><br />I know that our blossoms are coming through and I look forward to the growth happenings for both of us this year! ;) I believe in you and know that God is definitely at work behind-the-scenes for you. Right now is purging, cleansing and letting it all go, for the ultimate resurrection of new life IN US. ;)<br /><br />yay! to that! Good days are ahead for sure! <br />big love to you today! <br />Happy Easter, Krystal<br />(p.s. I changed over the blog button to my new site so you can update the code if you want .. looks like this will be my new home from here on out!) ;)Jenn @ CozyCompanionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15773786500454535729noreply@blogger.com
