Lately,

I haven't been my "normal." I'm not too sure what has gotten into me, but it's not cool. I've been really forgetful when it comes to my God, which I've officially nailed as the main culprit. My head has been saying things like "I know who my God is and I know all the words to those songs and I know all about these Bible verses, but none of it's doing anything for me." 1. It's not even about me, and 2. I've been running to everyone and everything but the One who has all my answers and peace.

Really, Bailie?

Directly following these thoughts have been everything that is ugly: Insecurity, doubts, worries, neediness, discontentment, etc. These ugly things have been dominating and entangling me. And ruining my darn spring break!

I've been leaning, with all my weight, on my own understanding.

And I'll be the first to say that I am not a strong foundation to be leaning all of my own weight on. Really, I've been binding myself to my own moody and unstable self. Needless to say, this hasn't gotten me anywhere.

Today I'm breaking free.

With the living God as my rock, shield, redeemer, savior, source, help, encouragement, life, EVERYTHING.

I am His, and He is mine.

And all of the sudden, just now, a dog named Itsy Bitsy has jumped into my lap. What is there not to rejoice about?! I mean really.

Hey spring break, let's have fun now! :)
