i've got peace like a river, i've got peace like a riverrr

A week ago, I was all down because I had spent some time reflecting on where I had failed as a friend. A few days ago, I was becoming overwhelmed with the Christmas rush and holiday stress. I was feeling hurt and misunderstood because of a lot of different things. It was so frustrating.. I just wanted to sit down and be alone and cry happy tears and truly give thanks to God for the gift He sent the world 2000 years ago. I felt like I would never get any down time to sit and spend true time with God.

So now it's a couple days later.. I haven't gotten the long, quiet silence I wanted to have just yet.. but I am definitely grateful the Christmas rush is slowing down. Of course, there's still much work to be done, but God'll see me through.

He's got a funny way of taking all my worries, the anxiety and stress, and my fears and failures and replacing them with peace and HOPE.


I'm so thankful I have hope :)


Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18



I feel like I'm right where I'm supposed to be.
Everything is in the mighty hands of my Lord :)
