thankful.

I have been wanting to blog for weeks now, but due to unforeseen personal reasons, it has been really hard for me to gather my thoughts and write. I guess it hasn't been easy for me lately in the past few months and still am trying to get my head above water. What am I saying?

Anyway, despite the craziness that has been happening in my life lately, I am still thankful for everything. Despite the frustrations and discouragements, God is telling me 'Not yet.'. God is telling me to be patient and in everything give thanks.

My life isn't exactly going smoothly. It feels like every morning I wake up I wonder what's gonna happen next. I feel like crying, but God has been faithful and still picks me up every time I feel like giving up. What's next? Only God knows what's best for me.

Stay tuned.

comfort.

Sunshine amazes me every single day. I long for that rising sun to come and greet me a lovely morning. When times are discouraging, I long for the warmth of the sun to comfort me and tell me that every day is a new day and that yesterday is a thing of the past.

it calms me down every time i see this picture

I've been waking up later that usual these past few days and I honestly have been feeling under the weather (both physically...and emotionally), but I guess I should go back to my daily routine (and that includes waking up early!). I have been missing sunrises and it saddens me. Gah. I need to change this crazy routine. 

And by that, I will leave you an excerpt of my morning devotion:

"It's time to get out of bed and face the new day and the changes coming. It's time to remember that even in loneliness, I am never alone. It's time to relish the beautiful rose and those thorn bushes." - LeAnn Rice

My heart and my flesh may fail,

 but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Psalm 73:26
