I recently came across a quote that I have always loved by none other than Winnie the Pooh. After I read this one quote, I decided to look up some other and then share them with you. Hopefully you will find reading advice from my favorite bear fun and maybe even inspiring!
"Some people care too much. I think it's called love."
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.”
“Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.”
“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.”
"If there ever comes a day when we can't be together keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever."
These are the quotes that stuck out to me personally, but A.A. Milne (writer of Winnie the Pooh) has many more. I hope you liked these and maybe even took away some inspiration from one of them. I am coming to the conclusion that we can never take ourselves so seriously that we forget to enjoy the things we loved as children. Often times our greatest loves and passion were evident then!
Hope you have a terrific Tuesday!!! Much Love!

Irreplaceability
"A woman's heart must be so hidden in Christ that a man must seek Him in order to find and understand her."
I have always loved this quote, but I came across it today and had a much greater appreciation for it. As I mentioned to you in a previous post, I have been doing lots of reading and research. One person that I have uncovered great knowledge on is, Eve.
As I read through commentaries and books regarding Eve and Genius, I came across the word "ezer", which God calls Eve for Adam. The translation of the word that I felt really showed Eve's purpose was "lifesaver." In Genesis 2:18, God says that it is not good for man to be alone. He gives us this great purpose and irreplaceability here. What we have to grasp is that we are the daughters of Eve, therefore, we have a great purpose and irreplaceability. Imagine the significance you as a woman have if God decided that without you "something wasn't good," even though He had created a place untouched with sin and a scared relationship with Adam.
We, as women, can learn so much from Eve and who God called her to be in this world. He placed us here to be a lifesaver to another to allow for someone else to see Christ through us and allow for Him to changed their hearts, forever. My question to you today is where is your heart? Is it hidden in the very depths of Christ?
The book that I am reading right now to give me such incredible insight into Eve and her story is called, "Captivating" by John and Stasti Eldredge. The men's version of this book is called "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge. I would encourage you to read both - they can open your eyes up to things you never understood before! They are definitely doing that for me!
Have a lovely Sunday! Much love!!

Current Inspiration
So I thought I would share with you some verses and quotes that are currently encouraging me in my life...
"It is easy to heavy, hard to be light."
-G.K. Chesterton
Do you often find it easier to complain or get bogged down because of a tough situations? It is often more difficult to find the positive or joy in something than to complain about it. I have been recently working to be "lighter" with my attitude, regardless of what I may really experiencing at heart. It not only helps my mood, but also others. Find the postive, be light.
“You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody,”
-2 Corinthians 3:2 NIV
This verse really captivated my heart this morning. Our lives are a letter from God to the world, our actions and character reflect Him. I want my letter to be a magnificent one. A letter that someone would want to read over and over again. However, I can't have a letter like that if I am not constantly surrendering myself to Him. What are you writing with your attitudes, actions, and words?
"Not to spoil the ending for you but everything is going to be...ok."
This quote just made me smile. In the midst of a very confusing life knowing that at the end of the day everything is going to be ok is quite comforting. I have come to find lately that dwelling on things that I can't understand does me no good. Why not dwell on the things that I am sure of? I am sure of God's faithfulness, His love, His plan and to me that is enough. Since I know those things, I can rest assure in the fact that in the ending of my dilemmas, everything is going to be ok.
I would love to hear about what is currently inspiring and guiding you! Have a great Tuesday! Much Love!!
