Encouragement

I was reading through some quotes I had written down a while ago, and thought I would share them with you all so you can be encouraged as well:) 

"If prayer is birthed out of desperation, than anything that makes me desperate for God is a blessing."
~ Nancy Leigh DeMoss


"God is always doing 10,000 things in your life and you may be aware of three of them." - John Piper

"You can never learn that Christ is all you need, until Christ is all you have." - Corrie Ten Boom

"We make a god out of whatever we find most joy in. So find your joy in God and be done with idolatry." - John Piper 

"The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. The first to forget is the happiest." - Elizabeth Elliot

"The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of christian, but the fact that I am a christian, does make me a different kind of woman." - Elizabeth Elliot 

"Worry is like a rocking chair...It keeps you busy, but gets you nowhere." - Elizabeth Elliot 

"When gratitude becomes your default setting, life changes." — Nancy Leigh DeMoss

"In every season, in every circumstance, His grace is sufficient for me." - Nancy Leigh DeMoss

What keeps us pressing in, pressing on, pressing upward, pressing into Christ, persevering in the hard times, keeping us growing? It's the promise of the second coming of Christ. — Nancy Leigh DeMoss

"Morality may keep you out of jail, but it takes the blood of Christ to keep you out of hell."      - Charles Spurgeon 

"Nothing teaches us about the preciousness of the Creator as much as when we learn the emptiness of everything else." - Charles Spurgeon

"Be anxious for nothing. So many "suffering" from anxiety or depression could find relief in the Lord"- Charles Spurgeon

I found these to be helpful and hope you do as well:)

Until next time,
Elise

Passing unnoticed

Sometimes it seems like life moves very slowly, and other times it seems that it moves very quickly. It seems that the opposite of what I want, happens. If I wish for it to move slowly, it moves quickly, and if I wish it would move quickly, it moves slowly. Nevertheless, the past 5 months have come and gone like a flash. I can hardly believe January is almost over. I realize that there may be very few people who read my blog; perhaps a lot of that has to do with how infrequently I write. ;) But I was thinking about what I might blog about and looking through pictures... I guess it is really the little things that make up a beautiful life. It's the little things everyday that make fond memories. I tend to be so task oriented that I forget to stop and notice the dew drops on the flower, the frost patterns on the window, the unique sunrise... the smiles which are flashed at me every day. And then- suddenly these precious times are gone. It's a new stage of life, the things w...

Florida Bound!

Hello, hello, hello! I know it's been so long since I have written, but if you read my previous posts, you'll know why I was too busy to post. Back in mid to end of April, I went to Florida with my sister Olivia and Mom, for two weeks. What a time we had. We made many good memories together and Olivia and I packed as many "firsts" in those two weeks as possible. A few of those firsts include, flying, fishing, parasailing and going through the airport by ourselves on the trip back since mom left after the first week. We had such a good time, and I am glad my sister made such an effort to make it happen. {thank you Olivia!!} I will include the best pictures I have and I hope you enjoy them:) A couple things I learned while down there are: One- just because you have three girls from the same family doing something together, doesn't mean they all agree on what is "fun". But despite we all had different opinions, we worked together to have a grand  time:...

Why have I been so silent?

Okay, so you guys might be wondering why I haven't posted in a while- unless you follow me on social media;) But if you don't, I have been silent because I have been busy with...  My brother Elijah and his new fiancé! He got engaged this past Sunday to Faith Grubb and we are all thrilled for him!! I will share a few pictures like normal. But you may be wondering how they met and where and such. I will provide you with a few details.  He met her this past March (2015) at a get together he and my other brother attended. Over the spring and summer they got to know each other long distance and after praying about it, they felt the Lord leading them to marriage. Faith is from the big state Texas, and so it is a ways from where we live, but Elijah doesn't mind the drive to see her, and makes the trip when time allows. Hopefully we will get to see their family this fall and have some good fellowship time with them:) We look forward to seeing them, and helping Elijah and Faith as t...
