think on this my love

{ fluttering thoughts }

“whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable— excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

When Elle asked if I would like to be a part of her free journaling class I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I don't journal on my pages. Not as much as I should anyway. But I've had this verse (philippians 4:8) in my mind and fluttering around my heart. And it has been a constant since finding out that I would be layed off at the end of this month. These past few weeks have been hard. But I can't tell you just how much my heart has been filled with reassurance and hope with just this one sentance. No matter what happens this time around I'm just at a better place right now to handle it. To keep on creating. There are some amazing opportunities coming my way all thanks to some really sweet and kind bloggers. I have to ask mr.handsome if I'm dreaming. If it's true. He's not a worrier. This time around I see myself taking courage from seeing his solid stance on faith that everything will work out. So I was telling him that san diego is the best place to be unemployed :) So many sun shiny lazy days at the beach, and its free :) here's to looking up. To making today a good day.

Two years ago I went through the same thing and wrote down my list of gratitude that still rings true today along with a heart felt prayer for you and me :)

things worth remembering:
- good things are just up ahead
- live a life that is content and not defined by material things
- to be rich in kindness and love
- generous with an open heart
- learn to be full of grace and wisdom
- know your needs will be met by faith
- face your circumstance with grace and dignity
- step out, dream bigger, always look up
- do not dwell in the hurt, but learn to appreciate this valuable life lesson
- embrace encouragement and follow your heart

you my friend are lovely, beautiful and strong. i pray you live your life to the fullest. I hope you are in a place where you excel above your own expectations. Where you shine amongst darkness and love even through the most impossible times. I pray for your protection and for strength when you need it most. And even some sun shiny lazy beach days...
xoxo
In His Arms,
