Psalm 120:1 "I call on the Lord in my distress, and He answers me."
Dear Hayden
I started this blog soon after the death of my beautiful 17-year-old son, Hayden, as a way to deal with my grief. I titled it "Dear Hayden" because at first I wrote as if I was writing to him. My use of the word "dear" ended up being twofold: "used as an affectionate or friendly form of address" and "regarded with deep affection; cherished by someone." Many posts are saved quotes, song lyrics, Bible verses, poems, etc. with credit given to the actual authors as much as possible. Enjoy~

Faith
When David faced
Goliath, he didn't talk
about how dangerous
Goliath was. He talked
about the greatness of
God. Don't talk fear.
Talk faith.
Fear and faith
When my fear becomes
greater than my faith, I will
forever drop to my knees
and hand it all back over to
the One Who is Greater than all.
1 John 4:4
1 John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is
greater than the one who is in the world.
See
Inspired by Proverbs 3:5
God says, "Stop trying to make sense of everything with only what you can see.
Trust Me completely - I see what you cannot."
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
Blessed pain
Blessed be the pain
that leads you to God. It
is worth far more than
joy that leads you away
from Him.
God's girl
You are God's girl.
Not the world's leftover.
Not his second choice.
Not broken beyond repair.
You carry oil. You carry fire.
And Heaven backs you.
So walk like you're chosen.
Talk like you're loved.
And never forget
you are God's girl.Period.
