Psalm 33:18--But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose
hope is in his unfailing love...

Psalm 39:7--But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in You.

Lamentations 3:21-26--
21 Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:

22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”

25 The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
26 it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.



Hope is something I haven't really thought about. Or something I really understand. What do I put my hope in? Do I have hope? Do you?

I am not a prayer warrior.

But I want to be.

The only thing stopping me is laziness. Probably some other little things, but mostly laziness. Oh, and lack of faith.

I think I am just lazy with my thinking in general. Sometimes I have some really profound, awesome thoughts. But, at least for me, directing my mind to come up with such thoughts (or even just think through stuff in an orderly fashion) takes some work.

Is that what it's like for you?

Haha, just some random thoughts from ME. :)

New habits

They say it takes 30 days (give or take a few) to start a new habit. Summer has begun, and that entails chores, seeing friends, and sometimes nothing to do. In my 3 months here in Colorado I have decided to try and establish some habits into my daily routine.

Everyone has habits--I have many. Brushing my teeth, eating breakfast, checking my email...things I do every day, and if I don't do them, I notice the absence of these routines. So here are a few of the new habits I would like to introduce into my daily schedule:

-Walk before breakfast
-Bible study in the morning
-Journaling
-Tidying up my room

So if I do these four simple things everyday until the end of June then they should become habitual, right? Let's see if I can stick with it!
