"Pray he will enjoy God and seek God's pleasure above his own--

and that God will give him the desires of his heart. 

Take delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. (Ps 37:4)"

~Praying for Your Future Husband by Robin Jones Gunn and Tricia Goyer

The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one's 'own' or 'real' life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's real life- the life God is sending one day by day: what one calls one's 'real life' is a phantom of one's own imagination. C.S. Lewis

Maybe what the New Year needs 

more than resolutions 

is a fresh revelation of God?

 ~Ann Voskamp

The place where God calls you to is the place

where your deep gladness 

and the world's deep hunger 

meets.

~Fredeick Buechner
