I'm a slacker

So lately, I've been a blogger slacker and I apologize for that. Between work, snow days and other random events that have happened recently, blogging was the last thing on my mind.

I will try to be better at it. Maybe?

So to get back into the swing of things, one of my favorite people ever, a sweet former nanny, has tagged me in a post to repost. So I am tagging this lovely southern G.R.I.T.S. to post it next! So here we go!

& my heart turns violently inside of my chest

These last few weeks have been filled with emotion and my heart has been heavy. I just wanted to share a song and a few verses that have been on my mind.

Enjoy.

"May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer." Psalm 19:14

"Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him." Psalm 107:1

"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but its the LORD's purpose that prevails..." Proverbs 19:21
