Nothing like this view from the top of Enchanted Rock to remind you how big the world is and how blessed we. May God continue to bless us in this life as we strive to follow the Bible in all we do.

Quote – July Blogging Challenge

I have joined with other Review Crew bloggers for a July Blogging Challenge, hosted by Jennifer at A Glimpse of Our Life and Lynn at This Day Has Great Potential. Today’s challenge word is “quote.”

I can’t choose a single one of anything “favorite” so you’ll get more than one.

For I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord.

“This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

” . . . for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:11-13

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

– depending on what you are looking at this is attributed to Ambrose Redmoon, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Nelson Mandela, and Meg Cabot. Regardless, I like it because we have to overcome ourselves to stand in the face of fear and conquer it. And you conquer it by figuring out what is better than fear itself.

I would love to hear your favorite quote, if you care to share it. Join me tomorrow for the next post in the July Blogging Challenge.
