~A few words of encouragement~

Don't we all need encouragement some days? If you do, I hope you find these helpful!

I don't know who quoted this, but I have it written on my chalkboard in the kitchen right now:

At our Bible study yesterday, my leader shared a really cool poem or quote and I can't remember the source, but part of it went like this:

"God has a plan. Don't go looking for the plan. Go looking for God. When you discover Him, you'll discover the plan for your life."

There are some prayers that are followed by a Divine silence because we are not yet ripe for all we have asked; there are others which are so followed because we are ripe for more. We do not always know the full strength of our own capacity; we have to be prepared for receiving greater blessings than we have ever dreamed of.
-George Matheson
