I'm realizing every day that I am in control of so little. I try to let God's peace fill me. I try to remember that His plan for me is perfect. I'm a sinner though and I fall. I am weak, but maybe He will give me brownie point for admitting this.
Even though not knowing is scary, I think I'm starting to feel really comfortable with all of this. Not knowing is good. He really does have a perfect plan for my life.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
~ Jeremiah 29:11

beautiful book excerpt
This stole my breath for a second tonight. sometimes when I read really beautiful stuff I get shaken up, just a little bit. I can't really explain it.
" Who after all, made the world of nature, and then made possible the development of sciences through which we find out more about nature? Who formed the universe of human interactions, and so provided the raw material for politics, economics, sociology, and history? Who is the source of harmony, form, and narrative pattern, and so lies behind all artistic and literary possibilities? Who created the human mind in such a way that it could grasp the endless realities of nature, of human interactions, of beauty, and so make possible the theories of such matters by philosophers and psychologists? Who moment by moment sustains the natural world, the world of human interactions, and the harmonies of existence? Who maintains moment by moment the connections between what is in our minds and what is in the world beyond our minds? The answer in every case is the same- God did it. And God does it."

you are greater than I
The fact that I have no control is my reminder that "His ways are better than my ways"

Jesus blurbs
Something I am sure Jesus would Never say....
"I was here first"
Something I am sure He would say....
"I make the World's best coffee"

Annie Truths?
I have come to realize that I am a tiny (not skinny, just short) girl filled with lots of tiny blurbs. They hold very little significance, of that I am sure.
But perhaps, just maybe, they make someone smile. If I can make someone smile, I will smile. And I'm sure my soul will be filled with a million tiny smiles, and I will be a happy Girl.
