So I got home from London 2 or 3 days ago.. I don't remember, weird time change stuff. But it was a great trip! I loved every part of it. We went to Italy, and a few different towns in the north. It was great! Travelled around London, went to many tourist spots and went to different castles, boated down some rivers, went and saw two plays. It was quite great! Here are some of my favorite pics.

Yesterday I was driving home from meeting with a wonderful friend in Abbotsford. I love this girl so much. She brings me such joy. Our times together are few and spread apart over a lot of time. But she encourages me so much. I love her taking advice from her and learning together. She always seems to have such great insight and it is so encouraging.
As I was driving home I turned up my music just like I LOVE to do these days. It's fun to be able to just block out the world for a few minutes while I am in my car bubble. However its a real bummer when there isn't any good music on the radio. But as I was switching through I got to the Christian Station and the song that was playing was "One Thing Remains". I love that song so much. But as I was driving home singing, listening to the lyrics it really hit me.. again. That God's love doesn't fail, ever! and it never will. It was a great comforting thought.
Everything in this world
FAILS: everything, that is our 100% guarantee of this world. Everyone, everything dies, everything 'moves on'. Nothing is the same forever. People fail, in thoughts, words, actions. No matter what. Nothing on this earth is perfect. It was an eye opener for my yesterday when I just came to this overwhelming realization that God doesn't fail. He is and always will be the
ONE constant in my life. No hurt will come from Him, no pain. He wants what's best for me, He wants good, and pure, and right, and 'forever' things for me. I just had a great sense of JOY when I came to that yesterday.
This world, this hurt, this pain, these short lived times of joy or happiness are not forever. NONE of it is... this world will end, we will end. Inevitably we will
fail and there is nothing we can do about it. But there is grace and mercy that Jesus provides in this world. He will give us the joy, the truth that we need to survive in this failing world. He will sustain every part of us.
This is something I want to learn to accept daily. To turn to Him when I am hurt, in pain, fatigued/exhausted, frustrated dismayed. I want to learn better to come to God in those moments of trials/tribulations/good times and bad.
Yesterday my friend challenged me in that again. I challenge I want to accept...again.
And remember WHO doesn't fail in my life. God: the One and Only.
"Overwhelms and satisfies my soul.
I never ever have to be afraid"
Now that I may have gotten your attention I could change my blog title to "Your Love Never Fails"
but at this point I won't. : )
Thanks for reading whats on my heart today!
