taking captive every thought: t-7 days

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

James 3:13

I might not be where I want to be, but I thank God that I'm not where I used to be.

give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thess 5:18

Come, Thou long expected Jesus

Come, Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel’s Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.

Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.

"It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not." - André Gide.

You put too much pressure on yourself. And the thing is everyone sees this except you. That's the one thing I want to say to you - rest in God. Rest in God.

Sister Aloysius, Bree Van de Kamp, Martha - I know you and no matter how hard I try I don't know how to not be you.

But I know my Savior, who sought me, who bought me, who carried me to His banqueting table when I was completely lost. I know His majestic whispers. I know that it is His kindness that brought me to repentance. I know that however far I have strayed, however alone I may feel, He is still right by my side.

Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul.
