The New & Exciting!

Well, hey friends. First time blogging here, and I'm not really sure as to why I had the desire to do this. I want to share my life with you. I want to experience things not just for my benefit, but because I feel that others can benefit from them as well. As you can see, my blog is entitled "Keeping a Quiet Heart." This is what I am striving to do, always. Be still before the Lord, be quiet, and listen to what He is telling me. It is a struggle. I will fight.

I want to share things I find beautiful, things I am thankful for, and just plain life with you! I hope you find my posts encouraging in some way/shape/form. I love to write, and am excited to start this strange new journey.

Today I had an excellent discussion with one of my best friends, Hailey McCourt. As we met on this beautiful, overcast day at a Starbucks, we began to discuss a book I lent her called "Crazy Love," by Francis Chan. As we delved into it's contents, we discussed just how much hope can be found in knowing that although we are not entitled to anything, or deserve anything, God is SO good, and gave us life. We live day to day encouraged, and knowing that through Christ, we have now found our purpose to exist. We exist to glorify our Creator. I'm so thankful for Hailey. She is such a light to me. So thankful for good friends. 


Tonight I am eager to spend some time seeing old friends. It is so cool how, even though I live in Tucson, I can come home to Phoenix and have constant friends, friends who don't give up on trying.

God has his mysterious, yet perfectly timed ways of making me feel loved. Through pain, He is glorified, always. "The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still." -Exodus 14:14.

Much Love,
Molly
