I'm still working towards my goal of a stress-free, worry-free, confident me!

I found another verse today that really made me smile and gave me a great comfort:

"When I felt secure, I said, "I will never be shaken."" - Psalm 30:6

It just gives me more of a reason to find my peace. Once I find it, and feel secure, I will never be shaken again. I just need to get there. Sometimes it feels like fighting a battle that I will never win, but lately things have been a lot easier. If I have a bad moment, I pray or read or think about something else, and it seems to melt away. Today I was genuinely happy! I was reading and researching couples bible studies and devotionals (which Nathan and I both want to get into), and a really cool bible for engaged couples that I super want, and I printed out a little preview of Beth Moore's "So long insecurity" devotional/journal. I read a lot today, and it really helped. It always seems that when I hit a low place my heart knows that I need to get closer to God. When I come back to Him, my life is 100% better.

So why do we stray? It's like when things get better and start going awesome, we take it for granted, EVERY time. It makes me sad. I really want Nathan and I to establish a necessary, awesome relationship with God and base all of our decisions and our marriage off of him. I am going to super stay on this path and really try to keep it that way. I like being happy, and talking with Nathan and praying and learning about God makes me really, really happy.

Here's to becoming a better, stronger, more confident, loving woman!
