Encouragements

Okay, I know you all are wanting to hear about service sites, and I promise that's coming! But, lets be honest, those posts aren't as fun without pictures and for some reason my computer is just not cooperating and won't let me load any pictures. So we'll have to try again tomorrow! In the meantime, I wanted to share with you some quotes/verses that have just been encouraging my heart lately.

"This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it...Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying "This is the way; walk in it."....The Lord will cause men to hear His majestic voice." -Isaiah 30: 15, 18-21, 30

"Re-examine all that you have been told...dismiss that which insults your soul." -Walt Whitman

"What satisfies the soul is truth." -Whitman
