Encouragement Along the Journey of Life.
This is why growth is so important. Without bringing God into our corner daily, the temptation for sin will be too great for us to withstand on our own. We need His daily reminder of WHO we are. The more we move away from that reminder of who we are, the easier it is to... Continue Reading →
Growing in Jesus is one of the most important things we can do. It keeps us out of religious-pharisee territory, and helps us remain our authentic selves. Once we stop growing, and get lazy (present company included), we have to start "faking it." That is, until the inevitable burn-out and breaking-point ensues in our faith.... Continue Reading →
Just a little reminder on this Resurrection Sunday! Happy Easter! ~Anne
After being "so done" with people-pleasing, and being used by people, I went on a journey of what I thought would make me happy. And I choose isolation and selfishness. It only spiraled down from there and I found myself in a pit of worthlessness. I didn't know if God loved me, or if he... Continue Reading →

It was through my failures that I wanted less of me and more of Him. To lose myself was the greatest gain I could have ever imagined. I've... Continue Reading →
You can't sleep. Your heart's racing. Your brain is running a million miles an hour, and it feels like the walls are closing in on you. You're afraid that at any moment you won't be able to breathe. Trust me, I know the feeling. I know the terrors of night all too well. But can... Continue Reading →
I am so grateful today for God’s love. I wouldn't trade a million perfect days for my pain if it meant I never got to know what it was like to be held by Him. To be loved by Him as a broken person. I wouldn't trade any of it, and I wouldn't change a... Continue Reading →
A healthy amount of belief in oneself is as equally important as a healthy amount of belief in other people. To have one without the other is to lead a life of sequestered misery. ~ANNE DAY
Prove yourself to no one but yourself and you will unintentionally prove yourself to the world. ~ANNE DAY
When we love ourselves through our savior's eyes we can love other people the way we were meant to. ~Anne Day
"I wanted to run and hide, lock myself in my room, bury my face in my pillow and scream..."
"Every impertinent, every sarcastic, every contemptuous, every mocking bone was gone from his body. He stood, eyes wide and taken aback..."
The love that reached beyond language...
the difference between hope and hopelessness...
There once was a girl who often asked about the pain in the world, “why doesn’t somebody do something?”
There once was a girl who couldn't figure out her why...
Imagine your life like a beautiful grand piano...
