Greetings! It’s a Wintry-Mix Sunday/Monday. Let’s get pumped for an awesome week! Ready?

“They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds.” Mexican Proverb

“If you wear the wrong glasses, you won’t see things correctly.” Dr. Tony Evans

“Yet one thing secures us whatever betide, the scriptures assure us that the Lord will provide.” Isaac Newton

“There is an inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself, who knows she is capable of anything she puts her mind to. There is a beauty and strength and determination of a woman who follows her own path, who isn’t thrown off by obstacles along the way. There is a beauty about a woman whose confidence comes from experiences–who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and keep going.” Unknown

“Yes, we could have been great, but I find a strange comfort in knowing you aren’t going to be my best.” Best (Tumblr)

“Every idea we form, He must in mercy shatter. The most blessed result of prayer would be to rise thinking, ‘But I never knew before. I never dreamed…'” C.S. Lewis, Letters to Malcolm

“Truth has been relegated to subjectivity; beauty has been subjugated to the beholder; and as millions are idiotized night after night, a global commune has been constructed with the arts enjoying totalitarian rule.” Ravi Zacharias

“The female doesn’t want a rich man, or a handsome man, or even a poet. She wants a man who understands her eyes if she gets sad, and points to his chest and says, ‘Here is your home country.'” Nizar Qabbani

“You may fear the Lord has passed you by, but it is not so: He who counts the stars, and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting his own children. He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature He ever made, or the only saint He ever loved. Approach Him and be at peace.” Charles Spurgeon

“He is always doing something–the very best thing, the thing we ourselves would certainly choose if we knew the end from the beginning. He is at work to bring us to our full glory.” Elisabeth Elliot

“She asked, ‘You are in love, what does love look like?’ To which I replied, ‘Like everything I’ve ever lost came back to me.'” Nayyirah Waheed

May the next few months be a period of magnificent transformation.

This is cute:

Throwback to December 2014; We are like different countries with our own foreign policy and culture, but when it’s time for war, state dinners, changing the world, etc. we are and will always be allies.

“When it all seems so numb and bleak, may your Spirit remind me gently that I am to burn with love and hope. I am falling, teach me to stand back up. I am drowning, teach me to kick and never stop. I am bound to heartbreak, teach me to love again. You are calling me, and I have grown deaf, so come to me and hold me; I need you Lord, I need you, and only you.” T.B. LaBerge, Thy Will Be Done

“Don’t worry about having the right words; worry more about having the right heart. It’s not eloquence He seeks, just honesty.” Max Lucado

“You belong to a patient God. Not to a hurry up and fix yourself God, but a be still and let me heal you God. Not a why do you keep doing this God, but a God who gives you the keys to break the cycle. God is patient, and He is pleased to take His time with you.” Unka Glen 

Love is patient. Let’s live it out this week.
