Take Heart

Sometimes the things of this world just seem so much.
So much hurt & it seems overwhelming.
I question God. Why?
Why is there so much hurt.
Why is she having to walk this road?
Why are these children in this tough spot?
I get very angry.
But mostly I just cry.
Because I know God's plans are greater. Because I am in His arms crying about the stupid things of this world. Because I know I actually have no control over the pain my family & friends will have to endure. 
And because I know sin entered the world. 

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

We weren't promised a life without pain. The people in my life aren't promised a life without pain and the questions that go with it all. But I know I can find peace in God & they can to. Throughout this life we see the beauty too, we see how God worked things out for our good. We can see His hand in the little details. 

Friend, if you're struggling or questioning why someone is struggling around you, take heart, God has overcome the world, and today, in this moment you can find peace in Him.

Influence Link Up

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

But seriously I love it! And let me tell you I can put some tacos back. Our best friends and us have actually started Taco Tuesday so on Tuesdays we make tacos. Now we're just at a point of trying to make it a healthier Taco Tuesday. 2. I love music so much. I love to dance. I love to sing. I love to be surrounded by music.
