all quotes by Emily Freeman

When you can't see God's hand, trust His heart. 

~

"Time molds and kneads life into different shapes as we go along" 

~

"One masterpiece is the work of ten thousand rough drafts" 

~

"Sometimes He refines us in ways we might not have wanted because
He needs to use us in ways we might not have thought." 

~

"If it ever feels like you have waited so long that you aren't moving forward anymore, if you feel like you have taken an unexpected detour, if you wonder if your tomorrow will ever come... Remember that sometimes it won't be until tomorrow that the Lord will do wonders among us, but His wonders will come. He will provide a way through.

~

"Isn't that what we do when we see someone in the midst of a middle moment that seems as if it might destroy them? We come running. In that instant, we become angels who help to bear heavy burdens, to bring comfort, and to encourage. As we set aside our own burdens for a time, we receive needed strength, compassion, and endurance. In blessing, we are blessed." 

~

Keep in mind that the miracle you seek may not be discernible from the middle of the journey. In fact, you might not discover it until you have exhausted every effort and followed every detour. Then, suddenly, one day it will be there. You should know that it will be magnificent. Remarkable. And in that moment you will stand still and admire the greatness of God.

~

It will be worth the detour it takes to get there." 

~

May you see a good day. May your perspective be governed by light, laughter, and discernment. If mountain moments come your way, may you rise above and continue your journey knowing the Lord is with you. May the breaking of each day find you on your knees. May you live after the manner of happiness. May your focus lead you to understand that God is in the details. As you pray each day for the answer you want, may you remember that He might send the answer you need. May your heart have great experience. May listing what you love allow you to recognize your joys. If sorrow comes your way, may you sow in tears and reap in joy. May you always remember the important days of your life, specially the days when your testimony burned within. May your eyes be quick to search from one side of heaven unto the other and recognize the great things as tender mercies from the Lord. May the oil of gladness permeate your heart. May every day be a day of gladness and a good day because you have chosen the good part. This is my wish for you."
