Purposed to put a smile on your face :)

Dear friends,

When you find treasure, share it, right? ;)

I would like to share these pearls of wisdom, this priceless treasure of blog posts, by a few of my favorite writers online, with you! Yes, YOU! :)

My prayer is for God to speak through the written works of these inspired writers to bring your heart closer to His endless love for you and bringing a smile to your face if you're having a bad day would be nice too! ;)

Happy reading!

Love,

Alexis

“Things Our Hearts Forget: You're Carried”

-- the end (for now) --

Trials make you strong

Amazing story, eh?

What a true message-- "What doesn't kill you makes you STRONGER"! :)

Story behind my learning of this song: My mom showed it to me a literal 5 minutes ago today which is about 1 hour after I shared with her my issues that were making me upset. I find the music video of cancer patients putting up the fight of their life to be a great reminder of how we're all going through something on one level or another and true to the lyrics, if it doesn't kill us, it will make us STRONGER!

So whatever you may be going through, remember God is right there with you. Just reach out to him (in prayer), talk to Him like He's your friend. He's not scared by your honesty nor is He surprised by your thoughts. He knew you before you knew yourself (Jeremiah 1:5)! And He is more than capable of helping you to weather any storm, trial or circumstance that life can throw at you.

Watch the video, dear friends, and be encouraged! :)

Love,

Alexis
