Today started out really rough with some pretty upsetting and hurtful news, so I decided to get out and do something fun to get my mind off of it. I went shopping! haha :) My brothers had to go get some jeans anyways so I figured now was as good a time as any and we went, picked up our "cousins" Mike and Julia Giardino, and went to Plato's Closet and the Mall. We had a blast and it def. did wonders for my mood. I'm a terrible shopper...haha...I have this problem that when I finally have decent spending money I cant ever seem to find anything for myself. Today sorta was that way too, but I did find myself a pair of pj pants and a super cute polka dot layering tank top. I also found Suzi an adorable sun dress! I do believe shopping is a great stress reliever mostly when done with a group of friends just wanting to have a good time! :) Thanks ya'll! You're the best!
Trying to continue to trust God and find rest and peace in Him!! Keep praying for me as I still am fighting my emotions. Some days are harder than others, but in Christ, who is my strength, hope, and help, I will find comfort!!!
Hey Katie,
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good shopping trip! Ya, I know how that can really help esp. when you have others to go with you!
I am still praying for you and will continue!
I wrote on your blog, then read you weren't going to have that one anymore. Just wanted you to know I have been praying for you. Had no idea what happened but the Lord did. Will continue to pray for you Katie. "Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually." II Chronicles 16:11
ReplyDeleteI love you in Christ, Barbara
Thought of you as I listened to this song yesterday:
ReplyDelete"God Wants to Hear You Sing"
Their chains were fastened tight
Down at the jail that night
Still Paul and Silas would not be dismayed
...
They said, “It’s time to lift our voice, sing praises to the Lord
Let’s prove that we will trust Him come what may”
God wants to hear you sing
When the waves are crashing ’round you
When the fiery darts surround you
When despair is all you see
God wants to hear your voice
...When the wisest man has spoken
And says, “Your circumstance is as hopeless as can be”
That’s when God wants to hear you sing.
He loves to hear our praise on our cheerful days
When the pleasant times outweigh the bad, by far
But when suffering comes along
And we still sing Him songs
That is when we bless the Father’s heart.
May it bless your day in some way today!
Barbara
