These are the two things I say to myself when I get sad. They are so beautiful and inspiring. It has been my ‘hobby’ to write them in all the books I own, including dictionaries and my organizer/planner. I say them to myself whenever I remember the loss of the baby we’ve been waiting and all the physical and emotional pain I felt with it, and whenever something that I have planned turned to something I don’t expect. I hope you like these too . . . . .

‘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.’ – Jeremiah29:11

‘God will never leave you. He will replace everything you lost. If He asks you to put something down, it’s because He wants you to pick up something better.’
