Be Encouraged

Oh Friends :)

I have sooooo many things I'd like to blog about! Soooooo many! Things about the kids, book reviews, recipes, recent adventures.... But for tonight - I'm gonna leave you with some neat quotes I've come across lately. Enjoy, Sweet Ones. And have a wonderful week!

"Fear never wrote a symphony or poem, negotiated a peace treaty, or cured a disease. Fear never pulled a family out of poverty or a country out of bigotry. Fear never saved a marriage or a business. Courage did that. Faith did that. People who refused to consult or cower to their timidities did that. But fear itself? Fear herds us into a prison and slams the doors. 


Wouldn't it be great to walk out?" - from Fearless by Max Lucado (p.5)



"God, I want to see You.
 God, I want to hear You
 God, I want to know You.
 So that I can follow hard after You every day." 
- from Becoming More Than A Good Bible Study Girl by Lysa Terkeurst (p.26)



"No person, possession, profession, or position ever fills the cup of a wounded, empty heart." - from Becoming More Than A Good Bible Study Girl by Lysa Terkeurst (p.30)


"Sometimes more can be learned from the passages of Scripture we ignore than those we underline." - from Money, Possessions, and Eternity by Randy Alcorn (p.9)

Kate, nice to see you back. I always love to hear what you have to say. Hope you are starting to get your groove back with baby part of "normal" now.

The quotes seem to cover book reviews as well-you are such a multi tasker!

Wow; those were some great quotes! Sweet friend, thank you for stopping by and visiting me on Heart Choices. I love stopping by here and checking in on you. How about a few new photos of the little one? :)

Sending you a blog hug and love,
Debbie

I'm amazed that you've actually been reading that much! I can only manage to read while I'm on the treadmill and Lucas is in the gym's child care. :)
