{quotes}
Burdens are for shoulders, strong enough to carry them.
Margaret Mitchell
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.
Viktor Frankel
When you find rare gorgeous humans along the path of light, who not only celebrate your quirks but validate them with loud cries of “me too!” be sure to treasure them because those weirdos are your tribe.
Jenny Lawson

Balls in the Air
When you feel like you’ve got too many balls in the air, pass one on. The people in your life like to be needed. Share with them. May God bless you with balance and efficiency.
Good Idea!
Let it all out. Release the mind clutter, worry, and dread that’s taking up precious space in your head. God gave you a brain built for good ideas, loving thoughts, and admiration. May you be blessed with a clear and clean way of thinking that starts right now.
Beauty
May God bless you with blue skies, firm ground beneath your feet, and beauty to surround you.
{prayers}
Acension, Straight Up
Dear God, I shall rise up to meet You in holiness, goodness, and mercy. Bless me with a straight and sure trajectory, reaching You always and honoring Your name.
Bring Me This Day
Dear God, in this very small window of time, I pray that I can rejoice and enjoy the new season. You, who makes the earth turn, birthing spring flowers from winter’s chill, bring me this day, a measure of happiness and awe at Your creation.
For Our Children
We pray for divine protection upon our children who are still growing, learning, and making mistakes. Give them wisdom to make good decisions, discretion to choose worthy friends, and strength to stand firm against bad influences and peer pressure. Be with them, holy Father, strengthen their faith, let them know You.
{bible}
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:5-7
My eyes are turned toward You, O God, in You I seek refuge.
Psalm 141:8
Have you no respect for me? Why don’t you tremble in my presence? I, the Lord, define the ocean’s sandy shoreline as an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross. The waves may toss and roar, but they can never pass the boundaries I set.
Jeremiah 5:22
